State/Province dropdown when no State configured

[woodhouse]

Hi there,
I'm using VirtueMart 3.0.18 and Joomla 3.6.4.

The State/Province drop-down in the cart is working fine, but I would like to change the behavior when there are no State/Province to select.
I would like to change the string "Please select" to something like "Default" or "No selection needed".
I made some search, but I was not able to find the file to modify.

Another (better) solution would be to have the drop-down shown only when a selection is required.

Can someone tell me where to find the code responsible for the drop-down and, maybe, tell me if the second solution is feasible?

Thank everybody for the help.

it is a loop

perhaps test for a state value (although complicated by the fact that it is fetched by ajax) and if none hide by css

Thank you for the hint.
I'll try and I'll post the results asap.
