Go to the Code of Federal Regulations and look up the definition of United States. The majority of the time, it's defined as Washington D.C., American Samoa, the Virgin Islands and Alaska and Hawaii before they became states.

That is just a definition used in the CFR. That definition in no way limits the Constitutional jurisdiction of the United States.

Everything else is just a 'State' and should be populated with AMERICAN NATIONALS not 'United States Citizens'.

Utter nonsense. What is the difference between an American National and a United States Citizen? There is no such thing as a citizen of a State, only of the US.

No, just the opposite - the Constitution limits the CFR.

Citizens are within the jurisdiction of the United States, Nationals are not.

There is no such thing as a citizen of a State, only of the US.

True.

You are a resident of a state, but it is an individual's choice to be either a citizen or a national.

(CFR)Sec. 1452. Certificates of citizenship or U.S. non-citizen national status; procedure
TITLE 8, CHAPTER 12, SUBCHAPTER III, Part II, Sec. 1452.
(b)
Application to Secretary of State for certificate of non-citizen national status; proof; oath of allegiance
A person who claims to be a national, but not a citizen, of the United States may apply to the Secretary of State for a certificate of non-citizen national status...
