Bug Description

When installing Ubuntu 13.10 on an x86_64 platform, selecting "Detroit" during the timezone setup will set the locale of the machine to Canada. Detroit is the most populous city in Michigan, which is decidedly one of the states that constitutes the United States of America.

Please fix this annoying inconvenience.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop ISO of the development release - Trusty Tahr. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

I believe this is a duplicate of #997737. I was able to reproduce it by installing 14.04 final in a VirtualBox VM and selecting Detroit, MI, USA as the location at install time.
