Zones incorrect for Malta

Hi, For Malta, the States are not technically correct. Villages and Towns have been used as States. There are two Islands:
Malta and Gozo. Country is Malta, but Gozo is a Region - also important as there are a few town names in each island which are identical. e.g. Rabat, Malta and Rabat Gozo, Mgarr Malta, Mgarr Gozo, Zebbug, Malta, Zebbug, Gozo

So, either the States need to be reduced simply to:
Malta
Gozo

Or

The Gozo town names are suffixed as follows:

Gharb, Gozo
San Lawrenz, Gozo
Ghasri, Gozo
Zebbug, Gozo
Marsalforn, Gozo
Victoria, Gozo (also known as Rabat, Gozo)
Fontana, Gozo
Xaghra, Gozo
Nadur, Gozo
Qala, Gozo
Ghajnsielem, Gozo
Mgarr, Gozo
Sannat, Gozo
Munxar,Gozo
Xlendi, Gozo

I think that's all the entries. The ones in bold are the biggest issue as they are towns in both islands.

However, surely it would be simpler to have 3 tables: Countries, States, Cities, linked with country code and country-state codes respectively? then the states for Malta can simply be: Malta and Gozo

Also, some names with incorrect spelling:

Gaxaq - should be Ghaxaq
Xagra - should be Xaghra
Melliea - should be Mellieha
Xgajra - should be Xghajra

These would need to be changed in the product. Thoughts?

Hi Nicolas,
Each council in Malta and Gozo is essentially representing a Town or Village. There are no Council taxes in Malta. So essentially the answer is No to all 3 points. The primary issue is GOZO, which is a separate Island, which 'Could' affect shipping costs, not in my clients case, but certainly for others, particularly abroad. So on that basis, I suggest you use GOZO and MALTA as the States.

Ideally, someone would either select a Blank State (i.e. their address is in Malta), or Select GOZO (their address is in Gozo) as this better reflects the real situation, otherwise 'Malta' gets repeated twice in an address. Is this possible? It would need to be optional.

Have you thought of implementing Cities as being selectable in future? Or is the intention to let people type these into a text field on registration (as currently)?

I know I can change the zones myself for now, but these would get wiped with upgrades, etc, so the changes would need to be implemented in the product as standard.
