Before you send me to another URL that addresses this, just note: I have tried those solutions. Select State is missing at checkout in the user details. Checking firebug console showed no errors.

Joomla Version: 2.5.8
VM Version: 2.0.20b
What I have done.. I edited the vmsite.js as stated on another post to allow the vmSiteurl undefined even though mine is.
I've tried unchecking the jquery and eliminating all other possibilities on my page. Currently all default options have been restored.
I tried the language javascript fix with no success.
I even set the siteurl to a local path.
I've added the shopping group anonymous to the list.
I've check the country and states all are published.
I've disabled all other modules and plugins without success.
I've installed jquery easy and disabled all others without success.
Each time i've made a change i've ran Ccleaner to make sure my history is cleared.
IE10 debugger shows your scripts stop running at
//<![CDATA[
jQuery( function($) {
$("select.virtuemart_country_id").vm2front("list",{dest : "#virtuemart_state_id",ids : ""});
});
//]]>
and there is no AJAX update to load the states.
The script you are loading that bothers me is
<script src="/joomla25/components/com_virtuemart/assets/js/chosen.jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
ISTR this has an effect on selectors and drop down elements. So whatever module or plugin is loading that, try disabling it.
Looks like Virtuemart is loading the: <script src="/joomla25/components/com_virtuemart/assets/js/chosen.jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
I renamed the file in FTP and did a refresh. Still no states..
Looks like I approached the debugging the wrong way. Yes you do need chosen.jquery, but it seems to be in conflict - and at a second look it could be with an interraction with script from mod_maximenuck
See if disabling that module helps.
I tried that one first. Figured it out. Ended up being System - ARTIO JoomSEF plugin! Is there a better SEF plugin available?
Artio causes too many problem with VM. There is nothing wrong with Joomla 2.5's inbuilt SEF which works well with VM2
