1) Your citizenship is not easily accessible over the internet anonymously. You would need to hand over personal data to prove that your personal data needs to be handled different. This doesn't work.
2) The point of location data not identifying you is in response to the parent comment saying that location could also be considered personal data. It can, but only if used in conjunction with enough other data to uniquely identify you; not to just check if you're currently in the EU.
3) Using a VPN prevents GDPR enforcement if your location is inaccurate. Again it comes down to the law preventing your personal data from being used before you consent, so whether your location is a fact or not doesn't matter when the service provider isn't allowed to use it in the first place and must rely on network lookup for a best guess.
