Not sure if I understand your question.

Normally either in the controller you add the list of countries to a smarty variable, or if you have a module , you can do this in the function:

 

public function getContent()

 

Where you can get all countries and all states. Then you need some javascript in the tpl file to filter the states according to the country chosen.

 

I think it's all in the controllers/front/AddressController and the themes/<your theme folder>/Address.tpl files, as well as the javascript file themes/<your theme folder/js/tools/statesManagement.js',

 

 

In AddressController, get the countries, and assign to smarty variable:

protected function assignCountries()

{

  $this->id_country = (int)Tools::getCountry($this->_address);

  // Generate countries list

  if (Configuration::get('PS_RESTRICT_DELIVERED_COUNTRIES'))

    $countries = Carrier::getDeliveredCountries($this->context->language->id, true, true);

  else

    $countries = Country::getCountries($this->context->language->id, true);

 

  // @todo use helper

  $list = '';

  foreach ($countries as $country)

  {

    $selected = ((int)$country['id_country'] === $this->id_country) ? ' selected="selected"' : '';

    $list .= '<option value="'.(int)$country['id_country'].'"'.$selected.'>'.htmlentities($country['name'], ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8').'</option>';

  }

 

  // Assign vars

  $this->context->smarty->assign(array(

      'countries_list' => $list,

      'countries' => $countries,

      'sl_country' => (int)$this->id_country,

  ));

}

 

 

And in the function:

    protected function processSubmitAddress()

They check if the country has states, and if so, if a state was chosen etc. Have a look in the file for this code how they do it.

 

 

 

In the Address.tpl file,

they use the assigned variables:

 

{if $field_name eq 'Country:name' || $field_name eq 'country'}

  <div class="required form-group">

    <label for="id_country">{l s='Country'} ^*</label>

    <select id="id_country" class="form-control" name="id_country">{$countries_list}</select>

  </div>

{/if}

 

 

Same for state:

 

 

{if $field_name eq 'State:name'}

  {assign var="stateExist" value=true}

  <div class="required id_state form-group">

    <label for="id_state">{l s='State'} ^*</label>

    <select name="id_state" id="id_state" class="form-control">

      <option value="">-</option>

    </select>

  </div>

{/if}

 

 

The javascript glues the country an state lists together (i.e. make them dependent)

 

 

If this is not what you needed, please explain one more time more clearly what you need.
