first of all, Shenxi should be Shaanxi, and there's no reason why 'state' and 'surname' have to be capitalized

in addition,

【现代汉语词典】

Guó
①周朝国名。西虢在今陕西宝鸡东,后来迁到河南县东南。东虢在今河南郑州西北。
②姓。

it's not only Shaanxi and Hunan, but also Henan etc

I suggest we simply change it to 'ancient state', like in ABC and 漢語大詞典 (『古國名。』)

Editor: There was no single "ancient state" known as either 虢 or 虢國. Wp says that the two Guo dukedoms of Eastern Guo and Western Guo "provided the Zhou Kings with a protective barrier on both sides of their territory" and that there were "a total of five states called Guo", including 西虢國 and 東虢國.
Diff:
- 虢 虢 [Guo2] /ancient feudal State in Shenxi and Hunan/Surname Guo/
# + 虢 虢 [Guo2] /ancient state/surname Guo/
+ 虢 虢 [Guo2] /Guo, a kinship group whose members held dukedoms within the Zhou Dynasty realm, including Western Guo 西虢國|西虢国 and Eastern Guo 東虢國|东虢国/surname Guo/
