Germany
1789 shows the structure of the country at the end of the Holy
Roman Empire of the German Nation. The purpose is not to document any
territorial claims.
Many customs, traditions and even architecture or landscape have their
roots in history. This version offers direct links to the relevant
information about the territories in the online encyclopedia Wikipedia.
A simple example: why is carneval celebrated in one village but not in
the next one only 5 miles away? One was probably part of a catholic
territory and the other part of a protestant territory.
