Please advise that this package supports a JSON file structure of an array of objects with keys "short", "name", and "legalAge".
The first object in the array will ALWAYS be disabled and used as the pre-selected option of age gate on load.
Below is an example for Canada.

{ "short":"AB", "name":"Alberta","legalAge": 18 },
