Description

Avalara requires for 2-3 character state/region/province abbreviation for all countries but currently we only have them available for US, Canada, Germany, and Australia.

Probably just generally a good thing to have anyway. Not sure if there is one consolidated place where you can get these. (or even better, import them)

Research direction
Investigate how regions are currently implemented for US, Canada, Germany, and Australia. Look for a reliable data source that provides state/region abbreviations for all countries (e.g., worldstate or a maintained JSON dataset). Check the Comments section for any previous discussions about data sources. Implement a solution to import this data into the appropriate database collection or GraphQL schema.
