[ic] Need a fix for major tax problem

[David Etheredge]

I have a problem with interchange that is unique to my state.

Since I am in Alabama and Alabama shows up first in the state list in the 
US, interchchange automatically charges the applied state tax for all 
customers until they change the state. If they forget to change the state, 
they get charged tax. If a customer is from another country and changes the 
country, the state stays AL and they still get charged tax. Many countries 
do not have a state or province so they ignore changing the state. Then they 
get pixxed and cancel their order because they do not want to pay the tax. 
Customers in Alberta Canada get charged Alabama US tax!

How can I force the tax to be $0.00 when the country is not US?

How can I select a different default state?

Thanks
