How do you refer to cities, towns, villages, whatever of the same name, but in different places? For example, here in the US, if we mention Springfield, we would say the state, not Springfield, USA. (FYI, there are 93 Springfields in 34 states) Kansas City, we would have to mention Kansas or Missouri. Using Germany as an example, while you may say Frankfort am Main or Frankfurt an den Oder, would you ever say Frankfort, Hesse or Frankfort, Brandenburg? Leipzig, Germany or Leipzig,Saxony? Hmmmm.
