<h2>How to Enter States</h2>
|

|
| 8 |
With <i>states</i> we mean administrative divisions of a
|
| 9 |
country. Depending on the country, these may be federal states,
|
| 10 |
provinces, regions, territories, etc.
|
| 11 |
<p>
|
| 12 |
The general rule is: please use abbreviations of states when these
|
| 13 |
are common, otherwise write the name in full. We will try to harmonize
|
| 14 |
notation, but to make it easier for us, please check the entries of
|
| 15 |
other people in your country and follow their practice.

In particular, please use the following conventions:
