No one here is on Trump's side, so I'm not defending Google, but it is common parlance to refer to the government of a nation as "the state" even when the nation has no states.

Cool but provincial parks are not run by the state. National parks are. Try pushing the narrative for Google and trump somewhere else.

They have a separate category for national parks. This is specifically referring to sub-national governments.

Except we had terms prior for google and openmaps to consider actual state vs province because provinces are a different type of designation in a country. I.e. Canada has provinces and territories, and are not fully autonomous like a state. This is google purposely changing a system to suit US use, while other map systems maintain the preestablish parlance.
