Hi, if you don't mind having 50 layers to start with, then WMS is there to give you what you need, without the need to configure a group layer. In the LAYERS param of your WMS GetMap request, you just provide a comma separated list of the names of your 50 states layers.
Other than that, the SQL view is a viable and easy to configure option. Andreas.
