Summary: Palau is a soverign nation and should not be included in the USStateField → Palau, Federated States of Micronesia and Marshall Islands are soverign nations and should not be included in the USStateField

New patch to remove all three Sovereign nations which are currently listed as US States. These nations have independence in foreign policy, and citizenship.

Triage Stage: Unreviewed → Design decision needed

And yet... under the Compact of Free Association they are still -- though sovereign -- "associated states" of the US. Which makes things somewhat trickier because we are currently including other states which have varying degrees of trustee or protectorate relationships/agreements with the US. Bumping to DDN, though a more correct stage would be "diplomat needed".

(In [8550]) Fixed #8425: removed the independant nations of Palau, Marshall Islands, and Micronesia from localflavor's list of US states.

...

Man, commit messages like that are incredibly fun to write.

(In [15029]) Refactor the choices for localflavor's USStateField, and add new US postal code support. Fixes #14937 and #9022, refs #10308 and #8425.
