Correct. I have been thinking about simply adding a state called "unknown state/province/territory" to the backend - not even providing a translation so people really get hit over the head when using countries that don't yet have state information. Actually, I do have a file listing states for many countries. It's just a task for someone with a little time on their hands (say, 3-5 hours) to make those suitable for import into GNUmed. Anyone interested ? This isn't hard.
