Disclaimer: this approach is rooted in Domain Driven Design, which is a common approach to NoSQL structuring. This is a super-rough look at entities vs value types in DDD.

I'm generally in agreement with @lw@zi, but it depends on your use case of states. If a data structure needs to be a domain-level entity, or is going to be directly referenced by multiple domain models, then it should have it's own store; otherwise it should be nested in a parent; it really has nothing to do with how much data is being tracked by an individual data structure.

If you will only ever present states in conjunction with countries, such as form fields and address resolution, without additional selection vectors then there is no reason to make it a reference and give it its own table.

If states are important on their own in the domain model or if multiple vectors might be used to access the data, such as if you have references to specific state agencies (NY DMV vs NC DMV, etc.), then you should make it a reference.
