This question obviously is unlikely to have an answer, but someone has to ask: does "nation-state" include the Western countries, namely the US/EU and friends?

I once received this alert from google, a few months later had a run in with the FBI.

I don't see why any non-Western countries would be interested in me, so yeah.

Sounds like quite a story; any details you can share?

I received the alert around Dec 2012, big red bar at the top of my screen (which interestingly enough caused a reflected XSS vulnerability in gmail) just randomly popped up as I was eating dinner a few days before christmas.

Didn't really think much of it, account logs showed no access from outside of my own IP addresses and analysing all the emails I had received in the past few months found nothing out of place. Leads me to believe (Well, hope.) that the attack was detected and blocked by google.

About 8 months (had to double check that, since it sure felt like less) later I flew over to defcon and the FBI searched my hotel room, seizing my throwaway phone and laptop. On my way out of the country I was again stopped at JFK by a bunch of agents holding a grand jury subpoena.

Ended up being asked a bunch of rather silly questions regarding some ORNL hack(and others) that I couldn't really answer.

Wasn't arrested, got to spend an extra day in the states and flew out.
