What are the "rare" states from your country? People you never meet

>Germany
>Saarland
I've never met a single person from Saarland. Sometimes I forget the state even exists

northern territory

people from aosta valley, because most people there are immigrants, natives are really few and/or mixed

then again they arent really germans. more like butthurt french who want to be part of france

Alaska and Hawaii. People in the mainland are always surprised when they find out I'm from Hawaii. I assume Alaska's even rarer because it's population is way smaller.

They are basically piemontesi, there are a lot of them in Torino

Saarland should be independent.

I see Alaskan license plates once in a while

Maduras = mature
Maspalomas is a town and beach in the Canary islands

we have a strong regional identity and are Saarländers before Germans but no one here unironically says they are french lmao

Zambezi

Probably people from the Scottish highlands or one of the islands in the north, that's mostly because they're isolated and sparsely populated though

Rutland. Didnt even know it existed as a county for a long time

saarland has produced some of the finest men that ever lived

Well, that's the Saarland

>the forbidden black fruit is popular in Paris metro
Honhonhon

>Rutland
never heard of it

Yeah mate I'm not a fan of 'muricans either, we call them yanks though

Bremen, why is THAT even a state

Saarland and Stadtstaaten should be absorbed into nearby Bundesländer.

I thought the same. I wonder if I will ever go there if I can go to Hamburg instead heh

>When Napoleon was defeated, dethroned, and exiled for the second time in the summer of 1815, Ney was arrested on 3 August 1815. After a court-martial decided in November that it did not have jurisdiction, he was tried on 4 December 1815 for treason by the Chamber of Peers. In order to save Ney's life, his lawyer Dupin declared that Ney was now Prussian and could not be judged by a French court for treason as Ney's hometown of Sarrelouis had been annexed by Prussia according to the Treaty of Paris of 1815. Ney ruined his lawyer's effort by interrupting him and stating: "Je suis Français et je resterai Français!" (I am French and I will remain French).[15] When the Peers were called to give their verdict, a hundred and thirty-seven voted for the death penalty, seventeen for deportation and five abstained. Only a single vote, that of the duc de Broglie, was for acquittal.[16] On 6 December 1815, he was condemned, and on 7 December 1815 he was executed by firing squad in Paris near the Luxembourg Garden. He refused to wear a blindfold and was allowed the right to give the order to fire, reportedly saying:

>Soldiers, when I give the command to fire, fire straight at my heart. Wait for the order. It will be my last to you. I protest against my condemnation. I have fought a hundred battles for France, and not one against her ... Soldiers, fire![17]

>"Je suis Français et je resterai Français!"
>ja natürlich sind wir keine franzosen

pretty much the entirety of the east coast between essex and humberside i just see as wasteland

Himachal Pradesh

I am from one of those rare states. We are only 5 million in population too :(

Thankfully, it is illegal for non Pahadis to buy land or housing here

Does Walvis Bay have unique identity compared to the rest of the country?

Colima
There are other states also that are "who gives a fuck about them" like Campeche, Nayarit, Tlaxcala, etc. but none other like Colima
Colima it's the state most forget about it, it's very small, few people live there, there's nothing interesting happening inthere as far as I'm aware, like, I don't even know shit about it, all I know a out it is that it's the most "who cares about it" state of them all

Guess I've never actually met anyone from Troms or Finnmark

Do you shit on those mountains?

Isn't Sikkim the ultimate unknown state in India though?

I've never met anyone from Shandong idk its weird

yea, i live there. Its very industrial compared to the rest of the country. Only Windhoek is slightly similar (but they are very German whereas Walvis doesnt really have a majority nationality).

Do you have HIV?

Looks really beautiful desu

Jura is rare by Swiss standards.

USA
Ummm maybe Idaho, Nebraska, Iowa, Arkansas
I've never met anyone from any of those states.

>Saarland
But it had it's own national football team in the 50's. How can other states compete?

Åland

we're too small for rare states
>birthplace of the car
>one of germanys economic drivers
>drivers
heh.

NRW 2.0. It's best days are long over, but the people living there still haven't realize it and think they're a big number. Nature there is beautiful, cities are utter shitholes.

Aosta valley is french clay

Neuschwabenland :p

cities are full of new germans
smaller towns and nature are top notch though

I happened to live in the smallest county in the country, it's even smaller then Gotland, but Blekinge have a higher population.

Why isn't it independant?

it is! baden-wurttemberg is trulyamazing. from the black forest to swabian jura to allgau, to lake constance.
So many beautiful cosy villages and small towns like Tubingen, Schwabisch Hall, Ulm, Reutlingen, Konstanz, Freiburg.
Also swabians make amazing food, and they are very friendly. they do not fit the german stereotype whatsoever.

That's funny because all my time in Reutlingen and hearing from friends there at uni I found Swabians to be the rudest, meanest, most stuck up Germans I've ever met.

Wyoming

not delaware?

It's close to the capital and kind of known of it's small size, although Rhode Island is smaller. Only 500k people live there and its literally just a rectangular so it's not distinguishable from its neighbors.

The state of Acre is often the target of memes and jokes about how it "doesn't exist" because we rarely hear about anything from there. But all the Northern states are pretty forgotten overall, aside from Amazonas and Pará.

Lol they unironically hate you because of the whole not recognizing mount blanc peak as shared thing. You also killed Arpitan is savoy

the german blood is strong on this one

What? Swabians are to germans what germans are to foreigners. They are hyper-germans. Stuck up, obesessed with rules, cleanness, saving up money on every occasion possible and showing everyone that they are virtuous while acting like you committed murder if you didn't sweep the sidewalk.

Holy mother of based, how were we so kino back in the days?

Nice proxy, Hans.
>Freiburg
Lel

and that's so fucking awesome! God i wish i had born an Spießer swabian, living in a comfy village at Swabia

Probably The Chatham Islands with a total population of 600 people. I have met someone from there though.

What about Morelos? What happens in Morelos?

But at least there's a reason to go to Wyoming, with its nature
Delaware seems just boring

I don't think there are any rare counties, there are so few universities in the county that if you go to one you are guaranteed to meet someone from everywhere.

Quantitatively it would be Finnmark and Sogn og Fjordane though.

I saw a car with Hawaiian license plates down the road from me a year ago.

I live in Missouri.
