You can use transparent images and negative margins. The simplest way to set this up would be to use a program like Fireworks (which lets you move stuff around freely and gives you an x and y).
Cut up all of your states into separate images with transparent backgrounds. Then you can bring them all into a Fireworks file, position them properly, then use the x and y it gives you to figure out the negative margins for them.
