title: Webservice to create account, country state list?
body: <p>I have a webservice that a developer can use to create a user account, apart of the create user account form, it requires an input of the user's "Postal Address"</p>
  
  <p>The Postal address has "Country State Id"</p>
  
  <p>Normally, I would provide a list for everything else, but when it comes to country state list it contains thousands and thousands of states/regions and its too much to list in a API specification document.</p>
  
  <p>So my question is, </p>
  
  <p>1) do you create a web service for the developer to retrieve the country state id? </p>
  
  <p>or </p>
  
  <p>2) provide the developer with a database file, with the list of country state id?</p>
  
  <p>I'm thinking #2 would be best.</p>
