Ease of acquiring residency is pretty high on that list. Economically it's more sound than just about any other country on the continent. They even have "beaches" and a Navy... quite the rarity for a land locked country. The only thing they're missing is mountains.

The population size makes that even more interesting, but they probably had to fight very hard to keep their country on the maps for extended periods of time.

Immediately after reading this, I had to think of all those feral predators, spiders, and snakes native to your surroundings. There are very few dangerous beings (besides humans) in Bavaria, that's something I appreciate.

sounds really good!
