You can use -egen, seq()- to set up a
structure of identifiers. Recall that this
was an answer to one of your previous questions.
Alternatively, if you want to mimic the structure
of the USA, just borrow a real dataset with
existing identifiers and then create your
"random counts" according to whatever precise
recipe you have in mind.
