FWIW: (For law nerds)
The law should enumerate that the State(corporation, assets), via its management (Government) has responsibilities for defense, inter-state relationships, agreements, and alliances, especially trade, its role as insurer of last resort in everything, the many assets of the interior, thru the treasury, finance and many others. (shortened for brevity)

As such we can and should eunumerate at least categorically those ‘demonstrated interests’ of the state, on behalf of the people. The law is cautious of enumerations because they create loopholes, but by enumerating the state’s responsibilities (they are narrow) any demonstrated interest within those responsibilities is covered whether enumerated or not. Enumeration then serves as examples but no list is finite.

The difference between a tort, a sedition, and a treason, is determined by the motive whether intentional or not, the harm done, and the reversibility (restitution) of the harm done, and most importantly the externalities that the state may be aware of, and the actors not.

In general the USA is too soft on all three degrees of severity.
