States in Germany

[ExtraMint]

Hello!

I just noticed that there is a total number of 17 states for germany. Could anyone help me in finding out what "BYP" stands for?

Germany | DE | States: BB, BE, BW, BY, BYP, HB, HE, HH, MV, NI, NW, RP, SH, SL, SN, ST, TH

There are just 16 states in germany, see here, so I assume it may be a mistake?

Best regards

From the source code:

"Mariä Himmelfahrt" is only a holiday in Bavaria (BY) if your
municipality is mostly catholic which in term depends on census data.
Since we don't have this data but most municipalities in Bavaria
*are* mostly catholic, we count that as holiday for whole Bavaria.
We added BYP for the municipality in Bavaria with more protestants.
Here this is excluded.
