I’m a little confused about what states in US are. Are they more like their own countries united in alliance, or are they districts of one country?

    States are explicitly prohibited by the Constitution from “enter[ing] into any treaty, alliance, or confederation” with foreign states, but there are plenty of cases of state and local governments joining economic partnerships and initiatives.
