Thanks Eric and Jochem,
I realize that many countries don't have states and some have "state" like
items that go by another term.
The reason that I need the Countries and their States is to create a form
that will be used by a worldwide
organization and they want to be able to query and sort the data down to
that "state like" level and they
currently let people free form type the "state like" area and that causes
obvious problems with the data.
