The term "state" refers to the geo-political term of an area that has its own popular sovereignty. A country is a place that is recognized politically as its own area, which not all states have the privledge of being (albeit very few in our modern history). The term is being changed to classify them throughout the entire timeline, since states like Asmodean and Lucifenia have lost or gained their ability to make decisions within their own borders by a higher power (Beelzenia, the USE, etc.).

For a brief lession, the "Union State" of Evillious just means that the four nations came together and agreed to be recognized as one popular entity working together, similar to how the USA and the EU work today, more or less.
