Is the legal term for someone who abides by the laws not "citizen"? Or are you talking about something else?

The origin of the maritime law conspiracy theory is unknown, though it may stem from a misunderstanding of some nautical-sounding words in common usage in the English-language judiciary such as ownership, citizenship, dock or birth (berth) certificate. This theory is entirely devoid of merit: when invoked by litigants, it has been consistently dismissed as frivolous.

That’s not a legal argument
Try using that in a deposition or court

Citizenship is a membership and allegiance to a sovereign state.
It's just being a member of a club. You can in some cases be a citizen of multiple countries, or also stateless.
The most common case is people get their citizenship by birth, but there are other ways of getting it, depending on the country.
