(thread continuation to list) Karsten,
As one example, United Arab Emirates (ISO code "AE") had no states defined in the files that you supplied, so per our offline discussion, I provided a default state value of "AE-1".
But suppose now we have a user in AE who creates a patient, and enters an address, which could now carry a default state value of AE-1. We know AE-1 has no meaning. Would the user be permitted to edit the value to two blanks (" ") or to input a new value, or will the client software (or back end) disallow the entry of anything except a value that already exists in the back end?
If the back end *would* permit the bootstrapping of default state codes of " " (two blank spaces), why not supply this instead of "<iso 2-char country code>-1" for countries for which we no state codes?
