Ok, I know in the US we use the following:
state
city
country
zip

Canada uses province, I've got that -- but what options should I for all, if not most, countries? There are alternatives, but what are the names?

Zip is to BLANK as State is to Province:)

Address
City
Postcode/ZIP
County/State
Country

But do other countries have those terms? Or do they call it something other than postcode, county, state... etc. Where's all the non-US users on this site:)?

Google is just so good to me. :D Zip Code for the U.S and Postal Code for the others it seems.

Street No. Street Name,
Suburb/City
State Postcode (4 digits)

Well there's always one exception isn't there??

In The republic of Ireland, they do not yet have post codes or zip codes. IN Dublin, the closest you'll get is Dublin No. ie Dublin 4 for example. Outside of there and possibly (I dunno) including the other Irish cities, you'll find that they use a townland such as: -

Name: Mr joe soap
Townland: ballynuisnance
County: Name of county
Country: Ireland.


To clarify: A townland is an area of land; like a small region within a county/state (to use more familiar terms), which segment the county into smaller areas. I dunno from where they originate but they are shown on local maps too.
In case you need this for validation purposes, the UK and Northern Ireland uses six and seven digit post codes. perhaps SW18 0AB or BT1 2AB.
