The same problem is true for most countries. The proposed wording is the most common in such situations and we can hope that citizens of countries with weird subdivision schemes already know how to cope with this (so no need to point them back to ISO-3166-2...). > (It seems to me that the number one fact people need to know about > OpenVAS is that it's effectively FreeNessus, now that the Nessus3 > license has gone proprietary.

I indeed ignored that OpenVAS is the free fork of Nessus until Justin mentioned it and I would have welcomed to leanr about it.
