Not really. The one example that jumps out from memory is in Germany (when I lived there, anyway) was every male was required to spend 18 months in the military. We don't have a national conscription anymore.
(Note that this may have and probably has changed)
Way OT - but we have certain freedoms of movement, freedoms of language (do European schools bend over backward to teach classes in other languages? I took two courses at a local university, and had to bone up on German REAL quick)...the list goes on forever.
Plus, as far as I know, there aren't a different set of laws in Hesse than there are in Bavaria - they are pretty well all national laws, and as you know, we do things a tad differently here.
Again, round holes, square pegs. They are both right, but one size does not fit the other.
