Karnataka or Kansas (5)

I believe the answer is:

state

'karnataka or kansas' is the definition.
(I know that Karnataka is a state)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for state that I've seen before include "Say; nation" , "Say; condition" , "Claim" , "Condition; nation" , "Declare: condition" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
