Can there be a judgment against a state agency? Can they still get subrogation if they didn't file an answer within the time frame? Or are they precluded?

This would greatly depend on the Law of the State you are living in.
I would have to venture that some states allow it and there are probably others do not.
But usually a "Default Judgment" generally allows for a time frame in which the failing party has the right to "file" a pleading or answer. At least it does in Ohio and it allows a failing party 21 days after the Default Judgment to file a pleading or answer or longer depending on the circumstances.
Is there anyway you can check the law on this in your state by referring to your Code book?
Good luck in any event!

It's theoretically possible, but I cannot imagine a state agency not even appearing for the court hearing.

Depends on that state's laws.
