I just do not get it. Just because logically the province is usually written before the country, it does not imply it is a good idea to blindly follow convention when implementing an address capture form.

Forcing people to first select a province (which is defaulted to the list of provinces based on the defaulted country), is meaningless for everyone not living in the defaulted country. And no America - you are NEITHER the only country in the world NOR the biggest. I always have to scroll past province, then select my country, then scroll back up to province and change it.

Country should be first. Then province. Stop this madness.
