my hot reunification take is that they should have split east germany into 3 states instead of 6

• Saxony: Saxony, Saxony+Anhalt, Thuringia
• Brandenburg: The unnamed part of Saxony-Anhalt, Brandenburg, Mecklemburg-Vorpommern
• Berlin: Berlin

failing that, halle (saale) should have become capital of saxony-anhalt

@charlotte north-rhin westfalen is already too big though
