By the images in DD40, I came to understand that a "state" is a group of provinces with a common factory cap. Can the control of a state be split between two countries, and how are factories distributed if this happens?

So who is getting the industry and facilities if say a four province state is split 2/2 between states DURING conflict? As I understand after conflict they will be unified by peace treaty right?

Very good question that has not been addressed publicly as yet. The same question applies to airfields and I think it is one of the potentially big issues of the game having switched from province specific buildings to state buildings.
Here's a related scenario:
A state is partly held by each of 2 nations that are at war. It would make sense that the airfields should be split between them in some fashion. One side decides to bomb the other's airfields and inflicts damage on them. As the airfields are only tracked at the state level I'm guessing it would be difficult to apply damage to a specific nation's airfields and so there's a good chance that bombing enemy held airfields could reduce your own airfield capacity. The same type of problem could crop up in trying to bomb enemy factories.

Well, the factories have to be located somewhere in the state to be bombed i assume. Other than that you can see little factories pop up in the state, but i dont know if they are just decoration. If they get randomly distributed in the state i would say you take controll over them once you controll the province. Otherwise it is probably just percentage based.

I guess the "Original Owner" will continue to control till the attacker takes control of the entire province/state, this is how it was as a Defensive army usually got the bonus.

I would think that it is not possible to use factories in a divided state as it is a combat zone and therefore way to hot to be used.

@Torran that would actually make the most sense. I doubt that people would work in an factory where just 10 km away the enemy is on the advance.

Didn't stop tank production in Stalingrad. Tanks rolled out right into the front lines.

I doubt someone attacking a state completely zeroes out production for the defender. It'd make it far too easy to defeat small countries through attrition; keep a large force within their only state or two to stalemate their production and wait for breaking equipment to do their army in.

This is just pure speculation, and I will try and confirm this later if its maybe right or edit/delete if wrong. But what if each "state" has a main city inside of it and this is where the factories are stored so once you capture the city you gain its factories.
