Germany is a Federal Republic consisting of sixteen states, known in German as Länder (singular Land). Since Land is also the German word for "country", the term Bundesländer (federal states; singular Bundesland) is commonly used colloquially, as it is more specific, though technically incorrect within the corpus of German law. The citizens of the states form the nation of Germany, and have the right of abode within the states. The area covered by the 16 states is completely and solely the territory of Germany. The governments of the states form part of the government of Germany. The cities of Berlin and Hamburg are states in their own right, while the State of Bremen consists of two cities, Bremen and Bremerhaven. These three are termed Stadtstaaten (city-states). The remaining 13 states are termed Flächenländer (area states). After the end of the Second World War, the states in the western part of the former German Reich were constituted as administrative areas first and subsequently in 1949, federated into the Bund or Federal Republic of Germany. This is in contrast to post-war development in Austria, where the Bund was constituted first, and then the individual states were created as units of a federal system. In Austria, the states are also referred to as Länder in the Austrian constitution.
