Germany is a Tier V nation located in Western and Central Europe 
. It is renowned as one of the most powerful and well-known countries in Europe, making it a favorable option for many players due to its vast national attributes.
Germany consists of many natural features that establish its formidable capacity, such as its abundance of populated cities, strategic location, and a thriving economy. Due to its mass capabilities, Germany can rapidly expand economically and militarily, giving the potential to swiftly dominate its international neighbors and eventually conquer the entirety of Europe.
However, despite its considerable amount of benefits, Germany is placed in the center of geopolitical conflict, prone to rival several notable foreign powers such as 
Russia, 
France, 
United Kingdom, 
Spain, and 
Italy, making the country challengeable and competitive to operate.
Background[]
|
The Federal Republic of Germany, also known as "Bundesrepublik Deutschland" in German, is a country present in Central Europe. It is the second most populated country in Europe behind Russia and is a significant part of Europe and its affairs. After World War II, Nazi Germany was carved up into four occupation zones between the Allies and the USSR. In the late 20th century, USSR President Mikhail Gorbachev started rapidly reforming the USSR and leading to its satellite states to start moving farther apart from the Soviet Union. The first free elections were held in the Democratic Republic of Germany which led to talks of reunification between the Democratic Republic of Germany and the Federal Republic of Germany. Eventually, they signed a treaty that would unify the states into one nation. Present day Germany is a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO, and is the de facto leader of the European Union. Germany is a stable nation with the largest nominal GDP in Europe, a region associated with wealthy countries but it is also the fourth-largest economy in the world, only behind Japan, China and the USA. Their industry is very strong and mainly based on high-quality goods. The GDP per capita in Germany is $47,000 which is quite high and puts Germany in 14th place for GDP per capita. Overall Germany today is a great power with the strongest economy in Europe. |

Economy[]
The German economy produces a national income of $2,431,100 at the start of the game; $2,256,135 revenues from tax collection while the remaining $174,965 roots from natural resource production. However, due to its starting home guard, it raises its economic expenses through increasing the military upkeep by $360,000, which in exchange, deducts its final balance to $2,071,100.
Resources[]
Germany does not produce a significant variety of natural resources, however, it reserves a moderate amount of 
Oil and a limited production of 
Copper and 
Iron.

Germany begins with two homeguard divisions, each comprised of 90,000 infantry, stationed in the cities of Berlin and Stuttgart.

Threats[]
Germany is not subject to many threats, being stronger than most of its neighbors, however there are special cases and exceptions.
- France requires a lot of Germany to form the Napoleonic Empire and all for the Frankish Empire.
- United Kingdom could launch a naval or ground assault into the German mainland by landing in nearby nations such as the Benelux region or France.
- Italy holds significant power to maintain a stable economy and military strength, giving the opportunity to expand into the northern regions of Europe, which includes Germany.
- Russia could expand into Europe with or without forming either of its formables.
- Most European countries are a threat to Germany, as they need the land to form European Union.
- United States, or to a lesser extent, Brazil, may establish a foothold in Europe, which threatens a pending invasion against Germany.
Strategy[]
Starting Moves[]
- Start off with building one electronic, one steel, one motor, and one fertilizer factory. Make sure to get all the resources you need for these factories!
- After that, justify on both Liechtenstein and Luxembourg. Declare war on both countries after you have finished your justifications and use your home guard to annex them. Make especially sure that you seize their treasury.
- After that, build 2 consumer goods factories and justify and declare war on Austria, Poland, Czech Republic, Netherlands and Belgium.
French Conquest[]
By now, you should've taken over all of Benelux and the Czech Republic, Poland, and Austria. If you were unable to secure some of this territory like the Benelux, it doesn't matter all that much.
- Build 4,000 tanks and while doing this, make sure your economy doesn't go haywire. However, you can tank a deficit just below $2 million if you have enough treasury. You will be disbanding the tanks after the French war anyway.
- Once you have made all the tanks and have justified war on France, declare war.
- Form all your tanks into many lines, send all your tanks to auto-capture France.
- Make sure that at least 800 tanks surround Paris from the front and back. Now with both 800 tank divisions, destroy their home guard by moving both tank divisions into their capital at the same time. This will cause flank bonuses for your tanks to easily wipe out Paris.
After French War[]
By this point, your tanks should've caused France to collapse, so you should annex them. After the French war, many possibilities are open to you. You can attack Italy, 
Switzerland, 
Slovenia, and 
Liechtenstein to form the 
Frankish Empire, or perhaps even form the German Empire or the 
European Union. But by this point, you should develop some strategies yourself to defeat your enemies. Germany is a country where you can steamroll the entirety of Europe with ease if you play it right.
Ideology[]
The number one ideology that fits Germany most is Fascism, valued for its significant military upkeep reduction and support for rapid expansion and wars. This makes it an optimal choice for Germany, which already starts as one of the most powerful countries in Europe. Germany's limited resource stockpile also makes Fascism an attractive option.Trivia[]
- Germany starts with the most amount of square cities in Europe. (Excluding Russia's major cities in Siberia.)
- Germany is one of the only few nations in the game that has an exclusive canal, which is located in the city of Kiel.
- Germany is one of the only few nations in Europe (and in the game) that automatically begin with Tier II developed cities.
- The Socialist/Communist flag for Germany is the same flag used by East Germany[1] in the Soviet Bloc back during the Cold War
