Germany (Deutschland) is a Constitutional Monarchy, consisting of thirty states, known in German as Länder (singular Land). Since Land is the literal German word for "country", the term Reichsländer (imperial states; singular Reichsland) is commonly used colloquially, as it is more specific, though technically incorrect within the corpus of German law. Speaking of the relationship with each other, the states in Germany are called Bundesländer or (singular) Bundesland.

| - Germany (Deutschland) is a Constitutional Monarchy, consisting of thirty states, known in German as Länder (singular Land). Since Land is the literal German word for "country", the term Reichsländer (imperial states; singular Reichsland) is commonly used colloquially, as it is more specific, though technically incorrect within the corpus of German law. Speaking of the relationship with each other, the states in Germany are called Bundesländer or (singular) Bundesland. The citizens of the states form the nation of Germany, and have the right of abode within the states. The area covered by the 30 states is completely and solely the territory of Germany. The governments of the states form part of the government of Germany. The cities of Lübeck 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 27 states are termed Flächenländer (area states). Berlin and Vienna are not city-states, but hold special status as, and have rights roughly equivalent to the city-states.
