What's also fun is that you often still encounter these boundaries today. Many of those splotches are now administrative districts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Districts_of_Germany

And up until 2023, you often couldn't travel by bus across multiple splotches without getting multiple tickets from the different regional providers. It was awful.

It was glorious. All Hail to the Holy Roman Empire of German Nation.
