map = {"country1": ["state1", "state2"], "country2": ["state1", "state2"]}

OR dynamically

var map = {};
map["country1"] = ["state1", "state2"];
map["country2"] = ["state1", "state2"];

Here a java and javascript coder.

//Variable map, contains a instance of Map with a constructor of String and Array of String.
let map = new Map([[String.prototype, [String.prototype]]]);

//Put values in map.
map.set('Country1', ['State1', 'State2']);
map.set('Country2', ['State1', 'State2', 'State3']);
map.set('CountryN', ['State1', 'State2', 'State3', 'StateN']);

//Iterate map and print the content of this.
map.forEach((value, key) => {
  console.log(`Country: ${key} States:[${value}]`);
});
