It's Germany. There are underground homeschooling groups there. I have 
learned that families who insist on homeschooling are treated horribly, 
sometimes the fathers are accused of keeping their daughters home for ugly

reasons. Not everyone is against the idea, but there's no outrage that
there 
would be in the US. Homeschooling is either not done there, or you go 
underground. Or risk the terrible accusations and having to defend
yourself.

I also am hearing that Germany is slowly turning their medical system into

something like the US system, requiring private insurance. I am not sure
of 
the details but I was told the change is very slow and people aren't
seeming 
to realize how bad it's going to be when they have to pay for medical 
treatment. Nicole, can you enlighten me on this? I heard about it 
second-hand so I'm sure I got it wrong.
