But that doesn't solve the little problem he is describing, which is 
logging out (which clears the country value) within the same session, then 
returning to the checkout page. In that case, just add something like this 
to the top of ord/checkout.html:

[value name=country set="[either][value country][or]US[/either]" hide=1]

... you could also use the default country variable from the variable table 
as the settor instead of 'US'
