None of them use the "state" field, although some of them annotate the "city" field with a province. Some may have to be tracked down using the latitude and longitude given. For example: CYUY;--;---;Rouyn Airport;;Canada;4;48-12N;078-50W;;;301;; That's presumably a general aviation airport serving Rouyn-Noranda, QC, but I only know that because I've been through the town and was aware it was in close proximity to CYVO in Val D'Or, which allowed me to double-check the coordinates. There are several thousand people for whom CYUY is going to be their nearest weather station, though, so it doesn't seem right to leave it out. E.
