> Addresses will have a street > An address will include a state These two are quite annoying whenever I have to write my address somewhere that presumes them. Here an address is city, city area (by name), block inside the area (by number, sometimes a letter). Blocks are numbered in the order they're built, so their numbering doesn't follow any pattern. And while there is a street passing by and it does have a name, the building itself doesn't have an address on the street. And no, we don't have states. From the description above, you might think that the city:city area might be used like state:city, but no. City is city-sized, city area is neighbourhood-sized. Additionally, there are addresses on streets, but those are not the same places as area-block numbers. Sites around here that need to get your address either include every possible field and ask you to only fill in the applicable ones, or give you a free-form text area after asking for which city and post code you're at. I think amazon gets it right - country, administrative area (state in the US, something else in other countries, maybe nothing in some), city, postal code, two freeform lines.
