This is a bit embarrassing, but I'm again having problems adding new venues. In the past couple days I've been getting this for any new venue (all in the US):
Invalid parameter Can't add a venue in the unknown country name 'United States'. Here's a sample post: "name" value="Electric Cloud" "address" value="676 W. Maude Ave" "city" value="Sunnyvale" "region" value="CA" "postal_code" value="94085" "country" value="United States" "venue_type" value="Office Building" "app_key" value="xxx" "user" value="FullCalendar" "user_key" value="xxx" I tried United_States and United+States; this was working fine for weeks. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I'm glad that solved it for you. Geography lookups like that can be tricky. We have a complex system to guess locations based on their names, which means that you can make pretty significant errors and still end up with the answer you intended. Refinements to the geographic data sometimes push a mistake out of the "guessed correctly" pile, but the corrected name will definitely work from now on.

But oddly, that was hard-coded, and I must have submitted hundreds of venues like that. In case that's helpful. Thanks again, Nancy
