Research direction

Locate the State model, its table, related fixtures, and the migrations that create or depend on them. Read those references first, then verify that a migration removes the table and that tests no longer rely on the State fixtures or model.

Description

refactoring

From @stephenfin on June 29, 2015 15:9

I have been unable to find any users using non-standard "states". The State table and its reliance on fixtures makes tests more complex than is necessary. Therefore, it would appear that there are few benefits to keeping the State table around. We should remove it, making use of migrations to do so
