The State list contains a list of the states or provinces of countries that are used by the agency. By default, all US states and Canadian provinces are already included in the database, but states/provinces from other countries may be added, if necessary.
If the Allow international addresses option is selected in System Settings - General, a Country list is first displayed, where a country can be selected in order to manage its states/provinces.
If the option is not selected, only the default list of US states and Canadian provinces are displayed.
