Attached is a patch to populate Egypt states (governorates) select list.
I wish I could provide a standard keys (i.e. 'ALX' => 'Alexandria' instead of 'Alexandria' => 'Alexandria', but unfortunately Google Geocoder (by means of D7 Geocode module) does not understand ISO codes.

Can you help me understand why geocoding wouldn't work with the ISO 3166-2 code? In pretty much any instance, we prefer to use ISO codes for abbreviated country / administrative area names. It would be better to find out why another module / service isn't working and use a compatibility layer than it would be to have some administrative areas use the ISO codes and others the full names.

For example, it could be that when rendering an Egyptian address for geocoding we simply determine the full name instead of just passing in the code while still using the code for data storage.

Yeah, ISO codes need to be used here.

Here's Google's list: https://github.com/commerceguys/addressing/blob/master/resources/subdivi... in case anyone wants to look at it while rerolling the patch.
