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.
