So in American usage nation-state means what exactly?

In any case, no matter how Americans call their political entities, the word "nation" in the term "nation-state" has a clear, unambiguous meaning, referring to a race/tribe/nation.

Nope see my reply above. It has no relation. Nation has a very politically precise modern definition that is independent from race/tribe.
