You can probably use an apex trigger and make a callout using the @future annotation to the external app and get the state and country details. This is however asynchronous and the update does not happen immediately. here's how: http://www.greytrix.com/blogs/salesforce/2014/10/30/invoke-future-methods-through-apex-trigger-for-web-service-callout/
