 * I have customers who try to create an account or order from:
    Sweden, Germany,
   France (these for sure, maybe others too), but cannot, because during registration,
   there’s a “state” field that is marked as required, but not shown. I’ve been 
   searching, this looks like a common issue, but most of the posts was related 
   to specific payment plugins. This happens during registration and checkout. Please
   advise.

 * How are you handling registrations? Are you using an specific plugin such as 
   WooCommerce?

 * I try to use as much out of the box as possible. The only plugin related to registration
   is “Simple Registration for WooCommerce”.
    But the same issue appears when I 
   try to change shipping address for an existing account: “State / County is a 
   required field.”

 * Update:
    I solved Germany with this plugin: [https://github.com/jckronbauer/woocommerce-germany-states](https://github.com/jckronbauer/woocommerce-germany-states)
 * If I get the list of French states, could I, based on this one, add other countries
   like this?
 * `function wc_add_france_states( $states ) {
 *  $states[‘FR’] = array(
    ‘XX’ => ‘…’, ‘YY’ => ‘…’ );
 *  return $states;
 * }
 * add_filter( ‘woocommerce_states’, ‘wc_add_france_states’ );
