Details

The location region on profiles is currently a text input. In order to make the data consistent (and avoid entries like OR versus Oregon), I suggest we provide lists of regions for countries with known regions. For countries without regions, the field would simply have a "---" value. Let's start with special cases for Canada and the United States, and use the regions listed below, sorted alphabetically.

We're going to tackle this in bug 976330, with an input method we've been prototyping there.
