 ====== Geographic Setup ======
-Admin menu category for setting up main regions (aka countries) and sub-regions (aka states if in U.S.)
+Admin menu category for setting up Countries and States/Provinces.  These are used for display purposes, and optionally for tax purposes as well, and are used in billing info for certain payment gateways.
-This software offers you the ability to set up geographical regions specific to your target market. Once set up, these regions will show up as Pre-Valued Dropdown choices for your visitors to select from during the Registration Process, as well as, when they place and manage their listings.
+<tip c n>**Note:**  Since the country and state/provice drop downs are used for tax purposes, and also used in the billing info sent for certain payment gateways, we recommend keeping it for use as countries and state/provinces.  If you wish to use more //flexible// geographic location information, you might consider the Geographic Navigation Addon, as the information collected for that addon is not used for taxing or payment gateway purposes, and allows for unlimited levels of sub-regions.</tip>
-The States / Provinces and Countries forms also give you the ability to specify a tax that will be assessed specifically for registrants located in a particular region. You may enter either a percentage, or a flat tax for each region.
-<tip c n>The "States / Provinces" and "Countries" fields are two independent fields. They have no relationship to each other. In other words, if a visitor selects a Country from the dropdown, the States / Provinces field will NOT automatically populate with the selected Country's states or provinces.</tip>
