Also, with regards to my question about the France geoIds not matching
those of ISO codes, the same incompatibility exists for USA state geoIds
so it isn't really an issue either unless the community agrees they
should match which entails more geo work.

I suppose populating the state/province list isn't really necessary so
long as the country doesn't have cities that are named the same such
as in USA. Therefore if France doesn't have more than one city named
the same then my question can be disregarded. If the same rule
applies to the other geo JIRA issues I created, which I assume is the
case for Israel being so small, then they may potentially need to be
reverted. The service doesn't require the state/province field so
leaving the list empty doesn't cause any problems.

When choosing France as the country for creating contact info for a
party, the state/province field is not populated. One reason for
this is that the FRA record in the CountryAddressFormat entity does
not have the geoAssocTypeId set. However, even when the
geoAssocTypeId is set to REGIONS, the list is still not populated
because the the corresponding Geo records geoTypeId is not set to one
of STATE, PROVINCE, COUNTY, or MUNICIPALITY as required by
getAssociatedStateList service. Instead they are set to REGION and
COUNTY_CITY.
This http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:FR explains France has
22 metro regions and 96 metro depts within the regions. Can someone
advise how to correctly populate the state/province list? Should only
the 22 regions be listed or should the 96 depts be listed with the
region also indicated? Also should the REGION and COUNTRY_CITY
geoTypeIds be added to the getAssociatedStateList service as
compatible types?
Also, the geoId of the France regions appear to be incorrect
according to the wikipedia article above. For example, the GeoId of
Alsace is FR-ALS however it is indicated as FR-A in the wikipedia
article. Should these also be correct for consistency with ISO?
