>am I still a resident of California? (the last state I lived in) Obligatory IANAL. My layman understanding is that that generally is the case; you are a resident of the last State you resided in prior to becoming an expat.

This probably isn't completely legal, but it's not like there are problems significant enough that arise from this that someone in government would actually care.
