Legally recognised subject or national of a state (7)

I believe the answer is:

citizen

(Other definitions for citizen that I've seen before include "Zinc tie (anag.)" , "Person with full rights in country by birth" , "Zincite (anag.)" , "Inhabitant of a town or city" , "Native or naturalized member of a state" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
