You might want to educate yourself about the term 'state'. Here, try the wikipedia entry for State:

"State commonly refers to either the present condition of a system or entity, or to a governed entity (such as a country) or sub-entity (such as an autonomous territory of a country)."

Are you one of those people who think that the term 'state' only applies to U.S. states? If so, consider yourself corrected.

Now, did you have anything to actually add to the topic at hand? Other than calling the lady harassed by the police a 'screaming bimbette'?

FYI those are known as "countries" -- not states.

And you want us to take you seriously???
