Answer 1

Naming is always contextual. So in this specific case some name specifying the country to state mapping is appropriate.

if this was just a device for a loop within a larger context and then discarded, I normally just go with a short temp type var like...

var dict = GetCountryStateMapping();
foreach(var item in dict)
{
  //Something....
}
