Does state_province with id 1018 is part of your default country?

We are using JS to load states based on country selection. So might be possible something is resetting. So I think setting defaults using JS might be easier.

Seems like you could use tpl override, or use drupal_add_js() in the hook.

Civi uses jQuery, which has great online documentation.  Note that where jquery normally uses $.(), Civi's implementation of jQuery normally uses cj.(), but otherwise the docs at jquery.com will be your bestest-est friend.

BTW, something like this is decent for setting values field after the page has loaded:
cj().ready( function() {
    cj.('#id_of_your_form_element').val('foo');
})

Tricky part is whether civi is probably calling the state list via ajax, in which you have to somehow wait until after that fires before you can set the value on the state field.  In that case you might have to find the JS code that makes that AJAX call and insert your state-setting code after that.  Not sure where that code is -- maybe in the template?
