That’s why area about Dresden is called Silicon Saxony and from my viewpoint is doing fine right now.

Lower Saxony is the only state where you still have to pay it and they're abolishing next year [1].

If you look, East germany former communists states were the biggest voters in favor of the AfD: Saxony and Thuringia.

The closure of the Saxony plant also seriously soured relations with local politicians [3].

Weirdly enough, even those from Saxony or Thuringia didn't realize the Stasi analogy.

What’s so different between Thuringia and Saxony that they both need separate administrations?

German has a number of distinctive dialects (Bavarian, Saxonian, etc.), and with Saxony in the east, there have been historical differences anyway.

Germany doesn't send Saxony and Bavaria to the world cup.

How much you have to pay depends on the university, I'm currently studying in Osnabrück, Lower Saxony and here we pay around 280€.

I also suspect Scotland, Wales etc would be more likely to table flip when dealing with a UK parliament than say Saxony would.

Look at the way Lower Saxony hampers Volkswagen's development.

> Look at the way Lower Saxony hampers Volkswagen's development That's kind of a weird example to pick, given Volkswagen's origins.

> A farm in Saxony has been left with 4,000 tons of potatoes in what Berliner Morgenpost is calling “a story about the absurdities of our food system”.

Another hint, Dutch comes from Deutsche, how the “Germans” refer to themselves, which is also where the “English” came from, Angles and Saxony, the latter still being a region of “Germany” today.

But guess what: People are migrating en masse from states like Saxony-Anhalt (118 inhabitants/km²) to Baden-Württemberg (301 inhabitants/km²).

But despite a recent amendment by the German federal government, the law still guarantees Lower Saxony’s veto.

That's also used in (and often a reference when making fun of..) the dialect in Saxony.
