*largest by area, second biggest by population

Also the state most friendly with US corporations, the most conservative (not equal to the most reich-wing), and usually the one most at odds with everything that doesn't come with thick layers of proprietarity and intellectual property.

This is to say that Microslop is royally fucked when EVEN BAVARIA drops them.
