How to leverage SFDC out of box State pick list for custom field?

I was able to enable country and state picklist based on https://na15.salesforce.com/help/pdfs/en/state_country_picklists_impl_guide.pdf for account and contact. But when I create a custom field, there is no address type or state type to choose, nor I can create a lookup relationship to leverage SFDC out of box State pick list values. How can I create a custom field to use SFDC out of box state pick list value? It really doesn't make sense to create a text field and code those state values again giving that the SFDC state picklist is already available

Unfortunately there is no country and state picklist feature available for Custom objects at this time. I came across one of the idea posts of salesforce where many of the users have requested for this feature. https://success.salesforce.com/ideaView?id=08730000000kxcNAAQ

The only go at this minute is to manually code the state values and show it in the picklist field on a visualforce page.
