Rule 220 “State” means the State of California, unless applied to the different parts of the United States.

When you see the word "state" in California's evidence rules, it usually means California itself.

However, if the word "state" is being used to talk about different parts of the United States, it has a broader meaning. In that case, it covers all 50 states, Washington D.C., territories like Puerto Rico and Guam, and other U.S. possessions.
