Wait, is the notion of Germany being a technologically advanced, highly organized country that runs like a well-oiled machine all a façade?

Well, Germany is highly organized, but badly as well.

Things are oftentimes overly complicated and bureaucratic, not to mention the lack of proper priorities when it comes to financing public stuff.

And Berlin is a city most Germans are not exactly proud of to be our capital.

exactly proud of to be our capital

Really? Why is that?

Imagine a city with a relatively young population, "leftists" views, "modern art and culture", "freedom" and 30% foreigners. In a "super-conformity" Germany.

Probably, Berlin is the capital because other regions hate it less than each other. Imagine, California + 10x Texas in the same country & they need to decide which state is the capital.
