No a country is like Australia or England, a state is like Sydney, Queensland or Western Australia....................

No that answer is not fully correct, A country is a nation, such as America and Australia etc. that part is correct, But we must know also that the word state is another word for country, the United States is a nation made up from 50 united countries, with 50 different names, that can govern themselves, but we in America never think of states as countries, this is why we are called the "United States" we are many countries United together as one big nation, many Americans do not know that some, perhaps all states have the right to separate from this union, Even though we look at other continents, and see other countries such as the State of Israel, the State of Jordan, & the state of Egypt etc., States such as these may be on the same continent, but they are not United as nations, they govern themselves as separate nations, unfortunately this means that they can go to war with each other causing harm and death against each other, Check our history we were once at war with other States at one time with separate governing bodies, hating one another, resulting in thousands of deaths, thousands of injuries & crimes against each other, Some one once asked, ( Why is it that American's don't understand simple English, I've watched people argue, get upset, fight and even killed, simply because they thought they understood words that they did not! )

What is the relationship between a country and a state?

Sometimes the word "state" means an independent, sovereign nation such as France, Germany, Italy, the US, People's Republic of China, etc. If you use that meaning for "state" then a country and a state are the same thing (in most cases) Sometimes the word "state" means a semi-sovereign constituent member of a political union. For example, the State of Arizona is a part of the country called the United States of America. It has some elements of sovereignty on its own, because of the way the United States was formed, but it is not an independent sovereign entity. Occasionally, the terminology is reverse. For example, The United Kingdom is considered to be a Sovereign State consisting of separate countries - England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
