Not quite; having renounced her Minbari citizenship, Mia Ausa's legal status would thus be determined by that of her father, who is an Earth Alliance citizen (United States of Australia).

>Dorothy is an android.

Actually, Dorothy is a robot (if you want to get more technical, a biomimetic mechano-humanoid). Androids have some synthetic biological components or are completely synthetic biocreatures (the Olympus bioroids, for instance). Dorothy has no organic components whatsoever; she's a mechanical humanoid with a sophisticated superstructure that mimics biological textures. The distinction is largely academic, but carries with it a certain nuance of legal interpretation.
