Schleswig-Holstein
The northernmost state of the Federal Republic of Germany, bordering Denmark and occupying the lower part of the Jutland penninsula.
Carlton Bach hails from Schleswig-Holstein, which he calls 'Occupied Denmark'.
Has a bewildering variety of names in different Germanic languages - which one is used, of course, can be somewhat political as it implies that country's ownership of the region. In summary:
German - Schleswig-Holstein
Danish - Slesvig-Holsten
The local Low German dialect - Sleeswiek-Holstain or Slewswig-Holsteen
Traditional English - Sleswick-Holsatia
Frisian - Slaswik-Holstiinj
