I want to know the answer to the following question:
What does Bavaria refer to itself as?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Three Länder call themselves Freistaaten (Free States, which is the old-fashioned German expression for Republic), Bavaria (since 1919), Saxony (originally since 1919 and again since 1990), and Thuringia (since 1994).". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
