> This form confused a lot of our German members, and they ended up putting any number of things in that field, just to be able to move forward. This led us to saved addresses like:
> Ets Y. Crafter
> 123 Main Street
> Berlin, Berlin 12435
> Germany
> In this case, the member just entered the city in the state field. This wasn’t the worst situation, and anything shipped to this address would probably arrive just fine.
Actually, "Berlin" is the correct state (Bundesland) for the city "Berlin". It's just not relevant in addresses in Germany most of the time.
