Hi,
Please edit the "country" address custom field.
The default country in the database might be "France" but because you unpublished all countries, the only visible country is "united states of america".
You have to save this value in the database because the "state" address custom field read the default country in the database to display his states.
Because "France" is unpublished, there is no state to display.
We introduce some patchs in order to resolve this problem but I guess that it does not resolve every cases.
So you just have to open the custom field and save it in order to store the right default country in the database.
