Deutsches Reich

[Christian Lindner]

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.

Economy,

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%

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.

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 is made up of Volunteers and Conscripts, totaling up at:

1.875 Million Ground Forces
37,500 Armoured Vehicles 
6,750 Aircraft
