Deutsches Reich
Germany, officially the German Empire, is the successor state to the North German Confederation. With the fall of the NGC, Chancellor Christian Lindner was able to rally German Nationalists in the south who supported King Wilhelm III, when it was decided, he would march his Army north and claim much of the former NGC. King Wilhelm III was crowned Emperor Wilhelm I of the German Empire. A Unitary Parliamentary Constitutional Monarchy in central-western Europe. It covers a very large area, and has a largely temperate seasonal climate. With about 120 million inhabitants, Germany is the most populous nation in Central Europe. Germany's capital and largest metropolis is Berlin, while its largest conurbation is the Ruhr, with its main centres of Dortmund and Essen. The country's other major cities are Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Düsseldorf, Leipzig, Bremen, Dresden, Hannover, and Nuremberg. Germany is therefore making major strife to be the next major world power, especially in Europe.
The flag of Germany has horizontal colors, them being Black, White, and Red all representing a different value with the Coat of Arms embroiled in the middle.
It shows the imperial eagle, a comparatively realistic black eagle, with the crown of the Holy Roman Empire. The eagle has a red beak, tongue and claws, with open wings and feathers carrying a shield in the middle.
The dark green areas is the central German Empire which is officially governed and administered by the Parliament of the German Empire. Light Green areas are lands claimed and occupied by the German Empire but not recognized by the United Nations as provinces of the German Empire, these lands are currently administered by the Armed Forces of the German Empire.
General Information,
The German Empire is a large nation in central Europe which ideals reflect those of major right wing policies socially, while the Economy mainly the major industries are under government control through the use of government corporations. Socially, from the start of school, students are taught and raised to be extremely nationalist, to put the state above all else, including themselves. The hard-nosed, hard-working population have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often. The large government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Spirituality, and Environment also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of, Berlin. The average income tax rate is 41.5%. The strong economy, worth 1.43 trillion Reichmarks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry which is administered by the Government itself, with significant contributions from Tourism, Gambling, and Mining. Average income is 46,449 Reichmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a very well-funded military police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Empire's national animal is the Black Eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity. Firearms, though legal to bear arms has major restrictions in terms of ways to acquire weapons.Government:

The Economy of Germany follows a Socialist Ideology, a mixed economy that combines a free market with central planning. Somewhere in between the command economy of the Soviet Union and the capitalist system of the United States. Major industries are controlled by the government through government held corporations. The economy is on rapid rise and with the nations new policy of very little importation, the German Empire is almost 100% self reliant. While exports are higher than ever, along with the nation in zero debt. Currently the budget is not even in full use with the nation’s expenditure leaving 10% out of spending entirely. Of the 90% used, the two biggest being, 39.3% goes to Military and Defense, 16.5% goes to Law and Order, with Industry coming in third at 7.2%
Politics,
Germany is a Constitutional Monarchy, unitary state, parliamentary, representative democratic republic. The German political system operates under a framework laid out in the constitutional document known as the Grundgesetz (Basic Law). Amendments generally require a two-thirds majority of both chambers of parliament.
The Emperor, Wilhelm I, is the head of state and invested primarily with most powers but exercises them through Parliament, in which powers are delegated to. The second-highest official in the German order of precedence is the Bundestagspräsident (President of the Bundestag), who is elected by the Bundestag and responsible for overseeing the daily sessions of the body. The third-highest official and the head of government is the Chancellor, who is appointed by the Bundespräsident after being elected by the Bundestag. Both positions currently are held by Christian Lindner.
Military,
The unified armed forces of the German Empire, called the Wehrmacht. This includes the Heer (army), Kriegsmarine (navy), and the Luftwaffe (air force) Members of the armed forces are required to pledge an oath of unconditional obedience to Emperor, Chancellor and declare allegiance to the constitution of the German Empire and its lawful establishments. The Wehrmacht replaced the old Reichmacht of previous establishment.
The Wehrmacht is made up of Volunteers and Conscripts, totaling up at:
1.875 Million Ground Forces
37,500 Armoured Vehicles
6,750 AircraftForeign Relations,
The German Empire exercises it's strength in Foreign Affairs through a militaristic approach, also with a nearly completely self sufficient economy. Though trying to keep peace by signing Non-Aggression Pacts with the Austrian Empire and with France. Currently under discussions with joining the Eastern Overlords.

The residence of Riga awoke to a thunderous shock. An explosion followed by richoche and echoes of bullets rang across the city. The Latvian Region had seen sparks in Pro-secessionist movements. An explosion rocked the provisional government Governors Mansion, confirmed the Latvian resistance had grown in its opposition to The Kiev Central Government.
Outside the Governors Mansion, chaos and calamity took place as people rushed to get away. The State Security Forces rushed to the scene. They were met with a hail of bullets as armed militants ambushed the Security Forces. Killing the security forces, militants stormed the Governors Mansion taking the Governor and his family hostage.
Ukrainian Soldiers moved and encircled the governor mansion, littered with burnt and dozens of dead bodies scattered. The Mansion was fully surrounded by Security and Government Forces.
The Siege ongoing has been reported a Terror Attack, and have closed off all access to the city, with government tanks and aircrafts moving in from the east.

"We do not know why Reubenia exactly took Yemen. Their nations actions do not directly involve yours and as such we feel half of you do not even have the right to question Reubenia in this matter. So when things like "Unail then, you have no place at the table with the other adults." This is completely childish and has no place in world discussions. We are here to have civil diplomatic discussions and yet all you do is threaten with embargo's and travel bans for whatever reason. We will not get in the way of your nation, nor do we judge your nations choices. So all of you may condemn him at your pleasure. But ask yourself truly why, because after hearing these questions and such, all I can think is seeing monkeys throwing their shit around at eachother. We also do not believe the videos are True, and in our opinion, if Reubenia wants to claim Yemen they can. Thank you all for your time but I have other things to be doing that are much more important. Have a nice night ladies and gentlemen."

As Barry Allen reached the gates and showed the papers to the Guard.
They called the command post to verify the appointment. Once approved Mr. Allen was allowed in with one guard and a guide to show him around while the Prime Minister was busy with a meeting.
When the Prime Minister finished and met with Mr. Allen to discuss business they shook hands and walked into the office.
"Thank you Mr Allen for getting here on such short notice. This is a historic event, if we could align our nations and open up trade this would be the first time in forever that Spain has opened up relations with a foriegn nation. We have many things to discuss today, His Majesty wishes to meet with you aswell, so he's invited you and I to Dinner at the Royal Palace.

Kingdom of Spain
Flag of the Kingdom of Spain
Royal Coat of Arms
Spain (Spanish: España [esˈpaɲa] officially the Kingdom of Spain (Spanish: Reino de España), is a sovereign state located on the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe, with two large archipelagoes, the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea and the Canary Islands off the North African Atlantic coast, two cities, Ceuta and Melilla, in the North African mainland and several small islands in the Alboran Sea near the Moroccan coast. The country's mainland is bordered to the south and east by the Mediterranean Sea except for a small land boundary with Gibraltar; to the north and northeast by France, Andorra, and the Bay of Biscay; and to the west and northwest by Portugal and the Atlantic Ocean.
Spain is the largest country in Southern Europe, the second largest country in Western Europe, and the fourth largest country in the European continent. By population. Spain's capital and largest city is Madrid; other major urban areas include Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Bilbao and Málaga.Modern humans first arrived in the Iberian Peninsula around 35,000 years ago. Iberian cultures along with ancient Phoenician, Greek and Carthaginian settlements developed on the peninsula until it came under Roman rule around 200 BCE, after which the region was named Hispania, based on the earlier Phoenician name Span or Spania. In the Middle Ages, the area was conquered by Germanic tribes and later by the Moors. Spain emerged as a unified country in the 15th century, following the marriage of the Catholic Monarchs and the completion of the eight centuries-long reconquest, or Reconquista from the Moors in 1492. In the early modern period, Spain became one of history's first global colonial empires, leaving a vast cultural and linguistic legacy that includes over 500 million Spanish speakers, making Spanish the world's second most spoken first language, after Mandarin Chinese.
Spain is a parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy. The current Spanish king is Felipe VI, who took the throne following his father's abdication in 2013. It is a middle power and a major developed country with the world's fourteenth largest economy by nominal GDP and sixteenth largest by purchasing power parity.
History
Iberia enters written records as a land populated largely by the Iberians, Basques and Celts. Early on its coastal areas were settled by Phoenicians who founded Western Europe's most ancient cities Cadiz and Malaga. Phoenician influence expanded as much of the Peninsula was eventually incorporated into the Carthaginian Empire, becoming a major theater of the Punic Wars against the expanding Roman Empire. After an arduous conquest, the peninsula came fully under Roman Rule. During the early Middle Ages it came under Germanic rule but later, much of it was conquered by Moorish invaders from North Africa. In a process that took centuries, the small Christian kingdoms in the north gradually regained control of the peninsula. The last Moorish kingdom fell in the same year Columbus reached the Americas. A global empire began which saw Spain become the strongest kingdom in Europe, the leading world power for a century and a half, and the largest overseas empire for three centuries.Continued wars and other problems eventually led to a diminished status. The Napoleonic invasions of Spain led to chaos, triggering independence movements that tore apart most of the empire and left the country politically unstable. Prior to the Second World War, Spain suffered a devastating civil war and came under the rule of an authoritarian government, which oversaw a period of stagnation that was followed by a surge in the growth of the economy. Eventually democracy was peacefully restored in the form of a parliamentary constitutional monarchy.
Geography
Mainland Spain is a mountainous country, dominated by high plateaus and mountain chains. After the Pyrenees, the main mountain ranges are the Cordillera Cantábrica (Cantabrian Range), Sistema Ibérico (Iberian System), Sistema Central (Central System), Montes de Toledo, Sierra Morena and the Sistema Bético (Baetic System) whose highest peak, the 3,478-metre-high (11,411-foot) Mulhacén, located in Sierra Nevada, is the highest elevation in the Iberian Peninsula. The highest point in Spain is the Teide, a 3,718-metre (12,198 ft) active volcano in the Canary Islands. The Meseta Central (often translated as "Inner Plateau") is a vast plateau in the heart of peninsular Spain.There are several major rivers in Spain such as the Tagus (Tajo), Ebro, Guadiana, Douro (Duero), Guadalquivir, Júcar, Segura, Turia and Minho (Miño). Alluvial plains are found along the coast, the largest of which is that of the Guadalquivir in Andalusia.
Politics
The Spanish Constitution of 1978 is the culmination of the Spanish transition to democracy. The constitutional history of Spain dates back to the constitution of 1812. Impatient with the slow pace of democratic political reforms in 1976 and 1977, Spain's new King Juan Carlos, known for his formidable personality, dismissed Carlos Arias Navarro and appointed the reformer Adolfo Suárez as Prime Minister. The resulting general election in 1977 convened the Constituent Cortes (the Spanish Parliament, in its capacity as a constitutional assembly) for the purpose of drafting and approving the constitution of 1978. After a national referendum on 6 December 1978, 88% of voters approved of the new constitution.As a result, Spain is now composed of 18(Including Portugal) autonomous communities and two autonomous cities with varying degrees of autonomy thanks to its Constitution, which nevertheless explicitly states the indivisible unity of the Spanish nation. The constitution also specifies that Spain has no state religion and that all are free to practice and believe as they wish.
The Spanish administration approved legislation in 2007 aimed at furthering equality between genders in Spanish political and economic life (Gender Equality Act). However, in the legislative branch, as of May 2017 only 140 of the 350 members of the Congress were women (40%). It places Spain 12th on a list of countries ranked by proportion of women in the lower house. In the Senate, there are only 101 women out of 263 (38.0%). The Gender Empowerment Measure of Spain in the United Nations Human Development Report is 0.794, 12th in the world. As well recently Portugal and Spain united under a common flag.
Government
Spain is a constitutional monarchy, with a hereditary monarch and a bicameral parliament, the Cortes Generales (General Courts). The executive branch consists of a Council of Ministers of Spain presided over by the Prime Minister, nominated and appointed by the monarch and confirmed by the Congress of Deputies following legislative elections. By political custom established by King Juan Carlos since the ratification of the 1978 Constitution, the king's nominees have all been from parties who maintain a plurality of seats in the Congress.The legislative branch is made up of the Congress of Deputies (Congreso de los Diputados) with 350 members, elected by popular vote on block lists by proportional representation to serve four-year terms, and a Senate (Senado) with 259 seats of which 208 are directly elected by popular vote and the other 51 appointed by the regional legislatures to also serve four-year terms.

Spain is organisationally structured as a so-called Estado de las Autonomías ("State of Autonomies"); it is one of the most decentralised countries in Europe, along with Switzerland, Germany and Belgium; for example, all autonomous communities have their own elected parliaments, governments, public administrations, budgets, and resources. Health and education systems among others are managed by the Spanish communities, and in addition, the Basque Country and Navarre also manage their own public finances based on foral provisions. In Catalonia, the Basque Country, Navarre and the Canary Islands, a full-fledged autonomous police corps replaces some of the State police functions (see Mossos d'Esquadra, Ertzaintza, Policía Foral/Foruzaingoa and Policía Canaria).Military
The armed forces of Spain are known as the Spanish Armed Forces (Fuerzas Armadas Españolas). Their Commander-in-chief is the King of Spain, Felipe VI.The Spanish Armed Forces are divided into three branches:
Army (Ejército de Tierra)
Navy (Armada)
Air Force (Ejército del Aire)
In-Depth Information:Command Structure
Frigate Cristóbal Colón (F-105) of the Spanish Navy.
Eurofighter Typhoon of the Spanish Air Force.
The commander in chief of the Armed Forces is the King of Spain with the title of Capitán General. While the king is formally entrusted with the "supreme command of the military" by the constitution, in practical terms military decision-making is responsible by the President of the Government. Also, there exists another civilian official after the President, which is the Minister of Defence. In addition to this, there is also military commanders, the Chief of Defence Staff and after him, one chief of staff for every branch. The structure is:Coat of Arms of Spanish Monarch.svg Commander in chief: General Captain of the Armed Forces H.M. The King of Spain, Felipe VI.

Branches
The Spanish armed forces are a professional force with a strength in 2017 of 101,900 active personnel and 4,770 reserve personnel. The country also has the 77,000 strong Civil Guard which comes under the control of the Ministry of Defence in times of a national emergency. The Spanish defence budget is 5.71 billion euros (7.2 billion USD) a 1% increase for 2015. The increase comes because of security concerns in the country.Army
The Spanish army consists of 15 active brigades and 6 military regions. Modern infantry have diverse capabilities and this is reflected in the varied roles assigned to them. There are four operational roles that infantry battalions can fulfil: air assault, armoured infantry, mechanised infantry, and light role infantry. The Spanish army has the latest technology at its disposal to preserve the territorial integrity of the Kingdom of Spain.[13]
Navy
Under the command of the Spanish Chief of Naval Staff, stationed in Madrid, are four area commands:
Cantabrian Maritime Zone with its headquarters at Ferrol on the Atlantic coast
Straits Maritime Zone with its headquarters at San Fernando near Cadiz
Mediterranean Maritime Zone with its headquarters at Cartagena
Canary Islands Maritime Zone with its headquarters at Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
The current flagship of the Spanish Navy is the amphibious assault ship Juan Carlos 1 which is also used as an aircraft carrier. In addition, the fleet consists of: 2 amphibious transport docks, 11 frigates, 3 submarines, 6 mine countermeasure vessels, 23 patrol vessels and a number of auxiliary ships. The total displacement of the Spanish Navy is approximately 220,000 tonnes. As of 2012, the Armada has a strength of 20,838 personnel.Marines
Spanish soldiers in Afghanistan.
The Marines, in Spanish, Infanteria de Marina, are the marine infantry of the Spanish Navy, the oldest in the world. It has a strength of 5,000 troops divided into base defense forces and landing forces. One of the three base defense battalions is stationed with each of the Navy headquarters. "Groups" (midway between battalions and regiments) are stationed in Madrid and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The Tercio (fleet — regiment equivalent) is available for immediate embarkation and based out of San Fernando. Its principal weapons include light tanks, armored personnel vehicles, self-propelled artillery, and TOW and Dragon antitank missiles.Air Force
Spain currently has 10 fighter squadrons, each with 18-24 airplanes. The air force also has 15 operational air bases around the country. The air force operates a wide-ranging fleet of aircraft, from fighters to transport aircraft and passenger transports to helicopters. It maintains some 450 aircraft in total, of which around 130 are fighter aircraft, including a number of Eurofighter Typhoons. The Spanish Air Force is replacing older aircraft in the inventory with newer ones including the recently introduced Eurofighter Typhoon and the Airbus A400M Atlas airlifter. Both are manufactured with Spanish participation; EADS CASA makes the Eurofighter's right wing and leading edge slats, and participates in the testing and assembly of the airlifter. Its aerobatic display team is the Patrulla Aguila, which flies the CASA C-101 Aviojet.Its helicopter display team, Patrulla Aspa, flies the Eurocopter EC-120 Colibrí.
Economy
Unemployment stood at 7.6% in October 2006, lower than many other European countries, and significantly below Spain's early 1990s unemployment rate of at over 20%. Perennial weak points of Spain's economy include a large informal economy, and an education system which OECD reports place among the poorest for developed countries.By the mid-1990s the economy had recommenced the growth that had been disrupted by the global recession of the early 1990s. The strong economic growth helped the government to reduce the government debt as a percentage of GDP and Spain's high unemployment rate began to steadily decline. With the government budget in balance and inflation under control Spain was admitted into the Eurozone in 1999.
Since the 1990s some Spanish companies have gained multinational status, often expanding their activities in culturally close Latin America. Spain is the second biggest foreign investor there, after the United States. Spanish companies have also expanded into Asia, especially China and India. This early global expansion is a competitive advantage over its competitors and European neighbours. The reason for this early expansion is the booming interest towards Spanish language and culture in Asia and Africa and a corporate culture that learned to take risks in unstable markets.
Education
Concepción Arenal, krausist and pioneer of the Asociación para la Enseñanza de la Mujer.
State education in Spain is free and compulsory from the age of six to sixteen. The current education system is regulated by the 2006 educational law, LOE (Ley Orgánica de Educación), or Fundamental Law for the Education. In 2014, the LOE was partially modified by the newer and controversial LOMCE law (Ley Orgánica para la Mejora de la Calidad Educativa), or Fundamental Law for the Improvement of the Education System, commonly called Ley Wert (Wert Law). Since 1970 to 2014, Spain has had seven different educational laws (LGE, LOECE, LODE, LOGSE, LOPEG, LOE and LOMCE).Institución Libre de Enseñanza was an educational project that developed in Spain for the half a century of about 1876–1936 by Francisco Giner de los Ríos and Gumersindo de Azcárate. The institute was inspired by the philosophy of Krausism. Concepción Arenal in feminism and Santiago Ramón y Cajal in neuroscience were in the movement.
Health
The health care system of Spain (Spanish National Health System) is considered one of the best in the world, in 7th position in the ranking elaborated by the World Health Organization. The health care is public, universal and free for any legal citizen of Spain. The total health spending is 9.4% of the GDP, slightly above the average of 9.3% of the OECD.Religion
67.8% Roman Catholicism
27.5% No religion
2.2% No Answer
2.5% OtherRoman Catholicism has long been the main religion of Spain, and although it no longer has official status by law, in all public schools in Spain students have to choose either a religion or ethics class. Catholicism is the religion most commonly taught, although the teaching of Islam, Judaism, and evangelical Christianity is also recognised in law. According to a June 2016 study by the Spanish Centre for Sociological Research about 68% of Spaniards self-identify as Catholics, 2% other faith, and about 27% identify with no religion. Most Spaniards do not participate regularly in religious services.

Recent polls and surveys have revealed that atheists and agnostics comprise anywhere from 20% to 27% of the Spanish population.
Culture

Spanish culture is marked by strong historic ties to Catholicism, which played a pivotal role in the country's formation and subsequent identity.

The centuries-long colonial era globalised Spanish language and culture, with Spain also absorbing the cultural and commercial

Can confirm multiple ships have been hit by the Pirate Confederacy. The Ireland and the rest of the Confederate States will no longer tolerate this kind of insolence. We demand all ships be turned back over and reparations be paid for stolen cargo at once or we will be forced to intervene.

Sorry was still on my brothers account

Georgia Federation's fall and the rise of a new Nation
​Failed Presidential Election
A couple days ago, the election commenced, Miles Matheson won the election by a small percentage. President Foster was not pleased and called for a recount on the votes. After the recount occurred it was clear Matheson would be the next President. Immediately following this, out of no where an airborne pathogen hit a small town outside the capital. President Foster ordered Martial Law and a cancellation to the election.
Military Coup
People were scared and did not think about what had even happen, they just accepted Foster's words as the truth. Miles Matheson, still a General in the Army secretly ordered a small squad to go and investigate. When they came back with evidence that the whole incident had been faked to stop the election, they realized what had to be done. Matheson ordered the Army to ignore the Executive Orders and most troops did. The Army marched through the streets and forcibly took the capital. Over live television, General Miles Matheson would Kill President Foster and declare himself President of Georgia Federation and President of the Monroe Republic, creating an official unity of the two Republics. Later that night he would give a speech from Atlanta and would again be appearing on National Television. He would then be delivering the most powerful speech the nation has ever seen.
Birth of the Confederacy
"I, Miles Matheson, elected leader of Georgia, rightful ruler of the Monroe Republic, declares Officially Today the dissolution of the Georgia Federation and Monroe Republic. To create a truly unified island in which our beautiful nation lives on. To ensure the continuation of peace and stability, the Georgia Federation and the Monroe Republic will be reorganized into the first unified nation this island has ever seen! Today I declare the birth of a new nation, one to stand the test of time. One which will become a major entity not just in Europe but throughout all of Orbis! The island has been divided up into different States which will be self governing but follow under the guidelines of the new Federal Government. We are now officially recognized as the Confederate States of Ireland. There are now twelve states in our new Confederacy, plus our capital city which will not be inside any state boundaries. The 1st Fleet within Navy and about 100,000 troops are under way to establish our first colony as well, in Australia. A new flag will also be introduced with this. As stated before each state will rule independently and have their own legislative bodies as well as their own Governors. But, the Federal Government will be comprised of Congress which will set federal laws and guidelines to other states. A Constitution will drafted shortly and be signed by each state. Normally a President will serve a term of four years. But I will only be serving two before I step down as the first President of the Confederate States of Ireland. This is a new day and age for us, we are small but powerful. But our resolve has never been stronger! Strength trough Unity, Unity through Faith! We are one nation under God and we shall stay that way! *Crowd Roars* So with our new government I announce the following as my Vice President, I announce Jefferson Davis, as my Secretary of State, I announce, Morgan Freeman, as my Secretary of Defense and Homeland Security, I announce, General Seabasstion Monroe, and finally as my Secretary of Treasury, I announce Aaron Rodgers. Have a great night, no, have an Irish Night!"
tl;dr: The Confederate States of Ireland is born, small coup, powerful speech etc. Also we now have a colony so that's something
