"Ohio is a state in the Midwestern United States. Ohio is the 34th most extensive, the 7th most populous, and the 10th most densely populated of the 50 United States. The state's capital and largest city is Columbus. The name "Ohio" originated from Iroquois word ohi-yo’, meaning "great river". The state, originally partitioned from the Northwest Territory, was admitted to the Union as the 17th state (and the first under the Northwest Ordinance) on March 1, 1803.
Although there are conflicting narratives regarding the origin of the nickname, Ohio is historically known as the "Buckeye State" (relating to the Ohio buckeye tree) and Ohioans are also known as "Buckeyes"."

And i quote:
This is Neuschwanstein, this is the castle they modeled the Disney Castle after.
as a german: this is not germany - its bavaria
As a German, you fail at being a German. Bavaria is part of Germany, whether you like it or not.
As a northern German:Yes,but the whole world seems to think Germany=Lederhosen,Oktoberfest and Neuschwanstein.That's Bavaria, not Germany!

I think it may be the Germany region of Bavaria...Could be wrong...LOL.
