I can't think of any country that would try to run such (decades long) projects under the remit of a few years' government.

They would report to but be independent of government ministers, and likely span multiple governments.

'State' is what was meant. (Country, nation, fine; bit less accurate perhaps? But I wouldn't have batted an eyelid.)
