The defaults are based on the values in the active configuration file. The active configuration file for “most” openssl subcommands is either:

1) Filename specified on command line with the –config option (man req in your case), or
2) Filename specified in OPENSSL_CONF env variable, or
3) /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf (if installed from Debian package -- specified at compile-time)

By design, either you, or your administrator, should change these to whatever is most appropriate for your site.

man config will give you more details.

Change these lines in your config file:
countryName_default = AU
stateOrProvinceName_default = Some-State

Note these two lines limits the countryName_default to exactly two characters
countryName_min = 2
countryName_max = 2

I recommend this bug be closed.
