This is about corruption in the government. Shakespeare uses the word State. Not country or nation, but State. He is referring to the organization. The politicians and their institutions. The idea of something being rotten is metaphor to the idea that something is no good inside of the State. If the State is supposed to work for the people, someone inside the State is not. There's a force or a person that is not working to fulfill the interest of the people. If it's rotten, it might be much worse than that. It might mean that someone might be even working against the people.

In Romeo and Juliet, another possible reason for the Prince's reluctance to follow through on the sentence of death that he has proclaimed for anyone who disturbs the peace of the streets of Verona is that he may reason that his putting of Romeo to death may ignite more feuding and simply perpetuate the hatred between the Montague and Capulet family. For, since he knows that already three civil brawls have erupted from only "an airy word" and caused Verona's senior citizens to take out their old weapons and resume their fighting, the Prince may feel that banishment for Romeo is preferable.
