I would say "California". I have an image of this dialog,
http://w1.611.telia.com/~u61107843/mozilla/cert.png
that shows the details that are being displayed to the user. "L=", 
"ST=" and "C=" seems to mean location, state and country.

"State" is not really applicable in Sweden, e.g. Stockholm is not a 
state, so in our help file we mention country instead of state as an 
example of the details displayed.
