Interestingly, Bavaria has an almost identical history as Texas: both are formerly independent countries that had close ties with their southern neighbor (Austria / Mexico) until their northern neighbor (Prussia / the United States) fought a war (Austro-Prussian War / Mexican-American War) that ultimately resulted in them being annexed. Both have considerable natural resources, including the majority of their nation's cattle, have a staunch conservative Christian political base, and are famous for a regional costume (''Lederhosen'' / cowboy hats) that many foreigners associate with the country as a whole.

* '''Frankfurt an der Oder:''' Not to be confused with the bigger and more important one in Hesse, Frankfurt an der Oder unsuccessfully applied to become Brandenburg's capital, and is divided by the Oder river from its eastern suburb, now the Polish city of Slubice. Brandenburg is home to an old university, which in 1810 was moved to Breslau (now Wroclaw) but which was founded anew in 1991. The dramatist Heinrich von Kleist was born here. And the boxer Henry Maske as well.

* '''Dresden:''' State capital and largest city. Infamous as the target of a controversial Allied air raid in 1945 with a high civilian death toll (albeit recent evidence not only dials down the death toll to at least 25,000, in contrast to 200,000 as propagandized by the Nazis -- basically inflating the count by a power of 10 -- but also shows that the raid was justified by the existence of actual military targets), which is still commemorated annually (and, sadly, attracts a lot of Neo-Nazis). Having been part of East Germany, it took some decades longer than elsewhere to rebuild several famous sites that got bombed during the war. This is especially true for sites like the Semperoper and even more so for its Church Of Our Lady (Frauenkirche).
