When in Deutschland do as the Germans do

People tend to forget that Germany was at the forefront of the civilised world at the beginning of the XXth century, leading the scientific world in nearly every field of human knowledge. If Spain has 17 autonomous communities present-day Germany has 16 bundesländer among them Berlin, Bremen or Hamburg;Lower Saxony,whose capital is Hannover...Now try to find the 12 remaining German states.

As of 2014 there are 196 countries in the world: 40 are in America
                                                                      45      in Europe
                                                                      55      in Africa
                                                                      53      in Asia
                                                                        3      in Oceania

 We owe  the Germans all these items:
