Bavaria is very well connected with the rest of Germany. This is the
main reason why they don't need a separate chapter. Bavaria has its
own Supreme Court, as well as they have a distinct conservative party
from the rest of Germany (imagine California with something like "New
Republican Party of California", which makes a coalition with
Republican Party at the federal level; of course, without any office
of RP in California).
