I know Hanover has one n in English, two in German. What's the story with Baden-Wuerttemberg?
Thanks!

baden-württemberg is the correct spelling

Yes. Unlike Bayern, which translates as Bavaria, there is no english translation, thus you take the german spelling which is Baden-Württemberg OR Baden-Wuerttemberg (depending on whether you can type the umlaut)

I'd say yes, because the U.S. State Department spells it with two Ts.
