But the errors are still there, there are 553 today. Anyway, I
will mention that in my FF (latest) when picking UK, it lists
regions of France. But then so does Turkmenistan and others.
Basically, it does not work, nothing particularly to do with
Safari. Follow the suggestion to fix up all errors.

Actually it is not clear what the whole context is? If it is
going to give you a big headache maybe do it simpler. Have at
least the regions and counties text boxes filled in by the user,
and perhaps use more general names for the categories. We don't
have counties here in Australia, there are states, cities, towns,
suburbs. Why not leave all at one simple box, "Full postal
address" and be done?
