If I get the code correctly (code/Widget/country_select.widget  contains the
state_select), it does:
        if(! $sel) {
                my $n = $opt->{name};
                my $pre = '';
                if($n =~ /^([a-z]_)/) {
                        $pre = $1;
                }
                $sel = "${pre}state_widget_container";
        }
