ANSWER: Geography

16



Germany (Deutschland) is a Federal Republic consisting of sixteen states, known in German as Länder.

The citizens of the states form the nation of Germany, and have the right of abode within the states. The area covered by the 16 states is completely and solely the territory of Germany. The governments of the states form part of the government of Germany.

The cities of Berlin and Hamburg are states in their own right, while the State of Bremen consists of two cities, Bremen and Bremerhaven. These three are termed Stadtstaaten (city states). The remaining 13 states are termed Flächenländer (area states).

Matt: WRONG
Record: 61-39
