Have you edited the zone codes, or the paypal plugin ?

To be specific, If I am in Australia and I choose New South Wales as the country in my drop down. I proceed to Paypal payment page and the State code at the bottom of the page is Blank. I'm stuck as to why this is happening (I have Hikashop essentials, latest update and a Joomla 1.5.26 site) Another note - USA addresses work just fine. It's the Australian states I seem to be having trouble with. All other info comes across okay.
