And it is out of alpha order

From the wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_and_territories_of_the_United_States, it's not.

The Federated States of Micronesia is not a state nor a territory, but is associated with the US.

The regions listed under US in this lib match the 59 State/Possessions and 3 Military "States" listed by USPS. https://pe.usps.com/text/pub28/28apb.htm
