| A state in the southwest of modern Germany, consisting of the area of the former (Margraviate/Grand Duchy of) Baden, the (Duchy/Kingdom of) Württemberg, plus the former Prussian province of Hohenzollern. Also broadly consistent with (but not entirely matching) the traditional region of Swabia. In reality however, the state was created in 1952 as a merger from territories of the American (Württemberg-Baden) and French (Baden and Württemberg-Hohenzollern) occupation zones. | A state in the southwest of modern Germany, consisting of the area of the former (Margraviate/Grand Duchy of) Baden, the (Duchy/Kingdom of) Württemberg, plus the former Prussian province of Hohenzollern.

| Traditionally, Baden (being a predominantly Catholic area) and Württemberg (being a predominantly Protestant area), don't like each other much. By modern German standards, it is (along with [[Bavaria]]) regarded as a rather conservative area. Baden-Württemberg is also one of the place where the [[alternate history:German Techwank|German Techwank]] is reality. The state's motto is "We can do everything except speak Standard German". | Traditionally, Baden (being a predominantly Catholic area) and Württemberg (being a predominantly Protestant area) don't like each other much.
