All countries are states, and a good handful or so countries are federations which call their largest constituencies states, so Germany for example has states, as does Malaysia, as does Australia.
Edit: just reading now that there’s no consensus on what a state is exactly, so, fuck knows.
Why didn’t they just say “in all states…” puzzles me. What other states can we be talking about?

Your neighbour, Mexico, has states for one.
Yeah, but no one actually lives there, right? And if they do, they’re certainly not on the internet.
