Today is German Unity Day. But how unified is Germany? To celebrate, I want to share some data from a project with @lenamasch.bsky.social@jos38.bsky.social and Antonios Souris on how "popular" people from different German states are - and how this evaluation differs. Here is it for everyone:

A map of German states with the average evaluation of people from each state.
