Looks as though there's some territorial expropriation going on here. Yahoo! should check their server drives for Union Flags and used tea bags.

Whether you're visiting a UK site, an Irish site or a US site is a side issue, but doesn't Yahoo!® and Yahoo! Inc. tell you something?

I am a citizen of the United Kingdom as we have a democratically elected government. When the Monarchy ruled Britannia, I would have been a subject.
And as this is the Yahoo! UK & Ireland site, then it seems that I am not a visitor.

I am a British Subject, a British Citizen, a European Citizen, a World Citizen and a Child of the Universe.

Sorry to be pedantic, but surely the answer is that we are Europeans by dint of the Masstricht Treaty?
As such, we are both subjects of her majesty and citizens of both a nation state and a European (Economic) Union
[note the positive avoidance of the words 'European State']

How about an answer from an American?
I say...neither citizens or subjects and the use of the two words interchangeably on documentation is just to conceal the fact that your all really slaves just like us Americans. Your freedom is an illusion.

We're subjects. All documents say citizen, but just look in the inside cover of your passport. Her Britannic Majesty calls the shots.

I would say, both, because although we have a monarchy it is not an absolute monarchy. That is, we also have a democratically elected government, and, going back to the signing of the Magna Carta, there have been many laws passed that limit the power of the monarch.
btw, really good question, got me thinking.

Both, a citizen of the UK and a subject of her Britanic Majesty.

Subjects, I guess. Although we call ourselves 'citizens' and talk about people having citizenship, I don't think that has any more legal basis than the right to free speech or the constitution!

According to the government and the law of this country I'm a subject. According to me I am no ones subject. I am Scottish, a European, a republican and a free man.
