jquery :

    <script>

        $(function() {
            $( "#selectable" ).selectable();
        });
        $('.ui-state-default').mouseenter(function(e) {
// here when i hover over this state all citys show i just want the cities for this sate
            $('.citys').toggle();
        }).mouseleave(function(e) {
// here when i leave  this state li all theese citites should leave
            $('.citys').toggle();
        });;

    </script>

You need to add context when finding the cities, like this $('.citys', this).toggle();
This will search for .citys elements located inside this which in this case is the hovered .ui-state-default element.

        $('.ui-state-default').mouseenter(function(e) {
            $('.citys', this).toggle(); // added this 
        }).mouseleave(function(e) {
            $('.citys', this).toggle(); // added this 
        });

See how to use the context parameter at http://api.jquery.com/jquery/#jQuery1

Alternatively you can use .find()

$(this).find('.citys').toggle();
