      Only those that call Georgia home can be tried for treason in that state.

      Penalty in Georgia: death, life, or no less than 15 years.

        The wording is kind of interesting:

        Treason against thr state of Georgia shall consist of insurrection against the state, adhering to the state’s enemies, or giving them aid or comfort.

        Who or what entity is an enemy of the state of Georgia?

      Basically nil. Both the federal Constitution and Georgia law define treason very narrowly as waging war or giving aid and comfort to the enemies of the US/State of Georgia.
