The pre-built option list of U.S. states uses postal abbreviations for the states and D.C. and insular areas, but omits those for military/diplomatic mail. I would wager this list is usually used for forms collecting contact information, and there are likely to be more military/diplomatic addressees than those in Palau or the Marshall Islands, I think it would be useful to add them to the db.

AA|Armed Forces Americas
AE|Armed Forces Africa
AE|Armed Forces Canada
AE|Armed Forces Europe
AE|Armed Forces Middle East
AP|Armed Forces Pacific

4 of your options all use the abbreviation "AE". That doesn't look right and would prevent Webform from showing them as separate options. That said, I'd be happy to include these in the default list. Seems like a good idea to me.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_mail, it looks like AE is indeed used for Africa, Canada, and the Middle East as well as Europe. We'd need to put these all on one line, i.e. AE|Armed Forces Europe, Africa, Canada, Middle East, though that makes for an awfully long option.

Closing for lack of activity, although this probably still applies to 7.x-4.x. If someone really wants this, please reopen with a patch.
