In theory, one with high enough yield could destroy whatever one wanted to. However no device has ever existed with enough yield to destroy a whole state in one blast (with the possible exception of Rhode Island, the full yield 100 megaton version of the USSR's Tsar Bomba might have just been able to, but even this was never actually built).
Note: above a yield of a few hundred megatons their use as weapons to destroy things becomes somewhat impractical as the majority of their blast energy is simply wasted in blowing the atmosphere above the detonation off into space.
