The song peaked at #10 in Sweden and #1 in Italy.[1] It also became a big hit in the Philippines.{{citation needed|date=September 2014}} In the US, the song peaked at #81 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[2] "State of the Nation" is also ranked as one of the most favorite songs of the United States Armed Forces. Music videoVersion 1: WarshipThe band performs the song on an aircraft carrier/naval ship while being surrounded by uniformed members of the United States Navy and a military or naval band, all who dance to the song. Parked fighter jets are also evident in the video. The lead singer, Jon Carin has a rack of keyboard instruments with a synthesizer and a Fairlight CMI, Rudy Perrone plays a Steinberger bass guitar, Brian Unger plays a Fender Stratocaster and Mercury Caronia plays an acoustic drum kit with Simmons hexapads.[3] Most of the dancing extras in navy uniform are actual U.S. Navy officers and personnel. (It is noted that some of the dancing naval soldiers are real members of the U.S. Navy while some are only actor/dancers. The navy uniforms indicate a Plebe at Annapolis. It is also presumed that Plebes (freshmen) are actors while some are real plebes, since the song indicates a kind of innocence in the Navy personnel, that are going off to war. It is easy to tell the rank of U.S. Navy uniforms which Annapolis plebes would wear. This is because of the shoulder boards, which are present but have no stripes and because a Midshipman's hat is different than both officers and an enlisted man. The actors don't wear Midshipman hats.)Version 2: MansionThe band plays outside an elegant mansion at its grounds. Jon Carin plays a Korg Poly-800.[4] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.hitparadeitalia.it/indici/per_interprete/ai.htm |title=Hit Parade Italia - Indice per Interprete: I |publisher=Hitparadeitalia.it |date= |accessdate=2012-06-23}} 2. ^{{BillboardURLbyName|artist=industry|chart=Hot 100}} 3. ^https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtGwJo4vadE 4. ^https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nn_NSecr90 External links
