Norway and....Maryland. I've lived abroad most of my career and unwisely lived in Maryland for a short time. When I left to go abroad again, Maryland insisted on taxing my earnings, despite the overseas domicile. I found trying to fight Maryland over taxes was exasperating and futile.

protip: if you live in Maryland, and plan an overseas life, establish a domicile in a tax friendly state beforehand. Then leave. Otherwise, Maryland will own you. A pox on Maryland.

You can renounce your statehood without renouncing your citizenship. Former Virginian here and I renounced my Virginia statehood for the same reason. It's common for American states to continue to tax their citizens after they leave. And there aren't really any downsides to not being a resident of any state.

That's also true for California. I established tax domicile in Nevada before expatriating.
