"State" has multiple meanings, and each of those meanings can be used in analogies. Some examples are listed below.

State as a condition of being:

  • Her mood shifted states like ice in hell.
  • When I asked her if I could play Poker with my friends instead of going to the furniture store with my in-laws, we went immediately to a state of war.

State as a political territory:

  • The Patriot Act began America's decline into a police state. [This is analogous because America isn't (yet) technically a police state.]
  • I may look like the State of California, but I feel like the State of Iowa.

State as an adjective meaning ceremonial:

  • We had the new neighbors over. Instead of being fun, my wife treated it like a state dinner.

State as a verb meaning present:

  • He started dancing as if stating his profound love for the song, the night, the expensive drinks, the velvet ropes, and the world, all at once.
