    The default 'state' dropdown for the UK contains a mixture of counties and cities, this seems to be because it is using a list of postal areas, rather than counties.

    It looks like this is taken from amember/sql-states.sql

    which is in the format:

    ('GB-ABD', 'GB', 'Aberdeenshire'),
    ('GB-ABE', 'GB', 'Aberdeen'),
    ... etc.

    Does anyone know where I can find a list of counties in this format, so I don't have to enter them all manually?

    Many thanks
    Dan

    Hi,

    Thanks for providing the list.

    You should also also add the 6 counties of Northern Ireland for the UK though.

    County Antrim
    County Armagh
    County Down
    County Fermanagh
    County Londonderry
    County Tyrone

    Hi, I have this problem also and I was wondering if there is a simple guide to replacing the county information in the SQL table. Relatively inexperienced....

    Thanks

    Can you provide a link to latest valid list? I will update this so future releases will include full list as well.
