By "they lose," I assumed this meant the user cannot complete the order. It 
looks
more like the user simply gets a list of all states (for all countries). How 
*should*
this behave?

I believe the code to change is at:
/browser/templates/country-selection-widget.pt
and, depending on the extent of the change, possibly:
/browser/resources/country-states-selection.js

A possible solution: Make the fields type="textbox". If there's javascript, then
change them into selection fields (with the existing js to dynamically change 
the
possible state values based on the selected country value).

A possible solution to narrow the affected audience: in the setup, let the admin
decide whether to accept international orders. If not, the widget limits orders 
to
the setup's Contact country (specified at @@manage-getpaid-identification). 
Perhaps
sites that choose to limit to national orders only can have a text message 
like, "For
international orders, please call our warehouse/fulfillment center at X."

it was fixed in #203. But the list available when you don't have javascript is 
a big
mess. We should at least order by alphabetical order.
