Where can I get the list of worldwide state/prov that Tableau recognizes?

I was unable to find the list on GeoNames.com. I change individual names when I try to Edit Locations. But I would like to compare my entire list of state/prov to Tableau's.

The map data is stored as Tableau Data Sources. Just open C:\Program Files\Tableau\Tableau 7.0\Local\data\state.tds (or C:\Program Files (x86)\Tableau\Tableau 7.0\Local\data\state.tds on a 64-bit machine) and you can browse the geocoding data. You'll want the State/Province field.

We do update this data in many maintenance releases, so be sure to upgrade to the current one.

Thanks! Really appreciate the quick response.

Additional question -- are the country and state names case-sensitive?
