affairs/matters of state formal His diary included comments on affairs/matters of state (= information about government activities).”

To bad for you, it’s all just grammatical nonsense!
This exceeding trifling witling, considering ranting criticizing concerning adopting fitting wording being exhibiting transcending learning, was displaying, notwithstanding ridiculing, surpassing boasting swelling reasoning, respecting correcting erring writing, and touching detecting deceiving arguing during debating.
But countries like Romania can?
Yes. Single state. Although Spain complicates things a bit. I just find saying “States is a state” extremely weird. Like saying “Ducks is a duck”.
