Province Argument Title problem

I created a view using province as an argument and using %1 for the title when using this argument. The province name never showed up as my page title. The problem is in location_views_handler_arg_province

case 'title':
      return empty($query) ? LOCATION_VIEWS_UNKNOWN : $provinces[$country .'-'. $query];

The $country variable is empty. I set mine to 'us' and solved my problem but obviously this is not a universal solution.
