The State is the apparatus of power, the institutions that either serve us or deprive us of liberty. The Country is the actual land you live on and where you derive your sustenance and all of it's bounty. A Nation is a people, bound together by shared history, common values , and, for lack of a better term, destiny.
I've found that these distinctions can be useful in clarifying who people are, where they are going, and what they value.
