The word "State" is built on words that mean "to Stand-, Make- or Be Firm." 
Leaders would inform the nation's citizens of the "'state' (or Condition) of the |Country," and I suppose the listeners would take that title and use it to refer to their "|Semi-|Independent Political |Entity under the leaders' |Federal |Authority, One of the |Bodies Politic which together made up a Federal Republic."
States:
Oklahoma, Oregon, Wisconsin, New York, |Alabama, Alaska, |Arizona, |Arkansas, California, Colorado, |Connecticut, |Delaware, |Florida, |Georgia, Hawaii, |Idaho, |Illinois, |Indiana, |Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, |Louisiana, |Maine, Maryland, |Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, |Mississippi, Missouri, |Montana, |Nebraska, |Nevada, New |Hampshire, New |Jersey, |NewMexico, New |York, the |Carolinas (North & South), the |Dakotas (North & South), Ohio, |Pennsylvania, |Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, |Utah, Vermont, Virginia (not 'East Virginia,' even though there's a West Virginia), Washington (not Washington |D.C., which is a 'district' that might soon become a State), |Wyoming
