In particular for countries for which the backend does not
contain *any* state...

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.
