When you set up an account with Godaddy they force you to set a US state or Canadian territory even if you are not in the US or Canada. Anyone in the UK will scroll looking for "UK" and the closest is probably Yukon Territory. My Godaddy account has me listed as in "Alabama" so if I ever bought a domain from them Alabama would appear in the whois entry because they prepopulate the registration form with the account address details.
