'die Regierung' and 'die Staatsregierung' can both refer to political leadership. 'Regierung' is the more general term. It can refer to a country, a state, or political leadership in general. 'Staatsregierung' is more specific when it refers to the government of a constituent state, for example a German federal state. In everyday German, people usually say 'Bundesregierung' for the national level, not 'Staatsregierung'. The words can be confused because both sound like official politics. If you do not mean a specific state government, 'Regierung' is often more natural.
