If we truly go about our work as citizens of the kingdom than we will make the best citizens in this world. That is not because we are Christian or American but because we will concern ourselves with the things God is concerned about, justice, love, mercy, etc. Augustine once siad that (the citizens of God’s Kingdom make the best citizens here- paraphrase)
