Lists of states for your store's 'active' countries can be adjusted using the 'States Management' section of the administration back-end (Management menu->States).
This section contains a dialog box titled 'States'. Depending on whether you imported any states into your store during installation, the dialog box will either be empty:
or will contain states of your active countries:
In the latter case, you will only see the states of just one country - the one whose name link at the top of the dialog box is selected. To view the states of some other active country, click on the name link of this country.
The 'States' table provides the following information:
CODE - State codes (must be unique on a per-country basis). These codes are used for X-Cart's inner processes and also appear in customer addresses on the invoice.
STATE - State names.
COUNTIES - Number of counties in a state (n/a is displayed when no counties are defined).
Note: COUNTIES column appears in the table only when use of counties in the store is enabled. Check the option 'Use counties' in General settings->General options.

| 1. | Go to the 'States Management' section (Management menu->States). |
| 2. | In the 'States' dialog box, scroll down to the 'Add new state' section. |
| 3. | Provide the necessary information about the state being added: state code, state name and the country to which the state needs to be added. |
