== Territory in geography section ==
The country's name is Deutschland and nothing else. Therefore articles like this should use exactly this name. A name is a name and can not be changed or decided by other parties. It is outrageous that people from wherever are using made up things like „Germany“ and are also spreading those made up nonsense like it realy exists. For example the former USA president Barack Obama is called everywhere „Barack Obama“, because thats his name. It does not matter where he is, lives or travels through or where a text is written or a speach is told about him. His name is his name. His name is not „Obamany“ or whatever made up stuff comes to other peoples mind for whatever dumb reason. The same goes with names of states or cities. They have all their own names and everyone else should use exactly those names (or official(!) transcriptions(!) if you can not write them). If a person cant pronounce it right, he should just learn it instead of creating, learning and using some exclusive fantasy. So offical texts and especially dictionaries should use the name of the states as they are. And the name of Deutschland is Deutchland and not „Germany“. A country named „Germany“ does not exist.] (]) 17:41, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
:Boy, I wish I'd been taught all these principles a half century ago, when my junior high school and high school French teachers kept calling me Etien. And come to think of it, I'm trying to remember if when I studied in Poland (almost as long ago), the language class teacher was calling me Szczepan. So now, when we get EVERY ONE of the "official" texts and dictionaries to say Deutschland and not Germany (or Allemagne or Niemcy or ...), then Misplaced Pages can follow along. Then we can work on Warszawa, Magyarorszag, 'Ellados, Crnogorska, ... ] (]) 18:09, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

In the last sentence of the first paragraph of the geography section, Germany's area is mentioned as {{convert|357600|km2|sqmi|0|abbr=on}}, which is obviously the rounded figure, as opposed to the exact figure given in the infobox.
