A state can include geography, but it is something more that that. To prove it ask yourself two question.

Does the prosecutor represent a piece of land as absurd as that would be, or does he claim that there's something more?

Where was the State of Wyoming in 1889? (It didn't exist even though the land did)

People regularly say that they "live in Wyoming" or are "traveling to Wyoming," and all of those statements make sense, because it's common to refer to the area of land that is governed by a particular state by the name of the state.

Obviously, a state government represents the people of the state and not the land, but the government only represents the people who live within the borders of that piece of land. A prosecutor in Wyoming doesn't represent the people who live in Kansas, but only the people who live in, or are citizens of, the land area we call Wyoming.

Asking to prove whether someone is in "Wyoming" makes no sense to me, because the borders of Wyoming seem pretty clear. They might have been different 100 years ago, but we all know where Wyoming is now, and I don't understand why there's any question about it.
