Pretty easy when you grow up learning a thing
Really? Have you learned about German states at school?
Edit:
USians downvoting, what a surprise 😂
Nope, but I think there may be Bavaria, Westfalia, Saxony? Can’t think of any others at the moment but I assume there are a couple more.
It’s a bit trickier, since Germany was still divided when I was in grade school.
Yea, there are 13 more
Ok, some of those must be around county sized for the US.
Many of states of the United States (especially outside the 13 colonies) are bigger than most of Europe’s countries. Which is really a better comparison to memorizing the states.
The Saarland, Berlin, Hamburg and Bremen are smaller than the average county, but especially the latter three have a bit of a special status because they're essentially just cities.
The next-smallest one, Schleswig-Holstein, is more than 5 times larger than the average county. Bavaria, the largest one is more than 24 times as large as the average county.
I take the average here, because some US counties are absurdly large. The largest proper county, San Bernardino, is larger than 4 states combined.
The median county size btw is 5 times smaller than the average size. Only Bremen is still smaller than that.
