I agree with Andrew. I'd find it far less confusing to enter my country
first, rather than in the middle of the address. (Personally, I also
find having state before city very strange.)

How vital is it to have states available as a pull-down, rather than a
simple text field? If the pull-down is non-negotiable, my suggestion
would be to move the country choice to the top of the address section: I
think that might be a little less jarring than placing it in the middle.

I did conduct research before I posted my message.
Here are the problems:
1. I have difficulty to locate sites in different countries that the
web forms have address. Google is not useful in this case.
2. web forms that have addresses and they are mostly eCommerce sites,
and it seems they all use templates that come with the eCommerce
system, and they are generic, more like tagsoup address and country
field is placed at the last (exclude phone/fax fields). I checked over
30 sites from 10 countries, no exception.
