California seems like a good example of where a separate organization
would make sense, because its laws tend to be quite different from the
rest of the states.

In the end, I think the most important question to answer first is the
one posed by Danny.  Why is there a need for incorporation in the
first place?

As for Free State Bavaria, I don't know the details, but if they are
just as independent as the US states (separate laws and courts,
separate taxes, separate incorporation statutes, the need to file as a
foreign corporation anyway), then I don't know of any reason not to
have a chapter there as well.
