    Our automated systems recently attempted to pass "N/" as a "State"
    field for a registration to a London, UK address. The API returned a
    500 error, E_UNSPECIFIED, rather than returning
    400/E_ENTITY_VALIDATION, or something more explanatory. This
    temporarily led us to believe it was a problem with the service
    rather than a problem with the data.<span style="font-family:
