Germany is a friendly person mostly, but they're difficult to handle most of the time. They believe that respecting appointments is out of respect for the person's self they're waiting for, they care about time a lot, yet they allocate a lot of it to entertainment and humor; just as football plays an important role in their lives; they're one of the countries most known for the extent to which their people frequently attend matches, on the other hand, they love their work; they take it seriously and are devoted to it; as their global progress in the scientific; technical; medical; economic; and other fields didn't come from pure chance. They're also very passionate and hardworking. They're so honest in talking and dealing in various matters and they expect others to be honest with them too. They thank for any service/help that's provided to them even if it's something small that isn't worthy of it, they always address everyone with respect; and respect the beliefs and ideas of others as long as they don't aim to harm others/oneself in any way. Just like their people in general; they don't go overboard in wealth; rather prefer to wear clothes that don't reflect their financial situation They love pets; especially cats and dogs; they take care of them well; even some of their own people consider their pet/pets as their own child/children. They also love to travel around; to learn and aspire to know the other and everything new and weird, and they love to eat (fried) sausage; as there are more than 600 types of sausage on German lands. They're determined to fight climate change, as they want to protect the planet with the power of bikes and recycling, they also shut down their nuclear power station (but they still buy electricity for their neighbors). One of the negative traits that they have is that they're rarely generous; they do respect others; laugh with some of them; and even befriend them; but it's not the same when it comes to material matters; it applies to their family members as well; for example; if they went to a restaurant with one of their acquaintances/friends/family members, they would only pay for their meal and wouldn't ask the others whether they have money or not. Plus the fact that they don't like to talk about their personal stuff; yet they sometimes ask others about theirs. They're distinguished by their economic and political power; their ability to influence on other people, and the adherence to the word of distinction and mastery of it. Interests They love work but also love drinking beer, eating sausages (they have several sorts of differents sausages) and pretzels in general They also love ice hockey, American football, basketball, and handball They're really proud of their zeppelins Breeding dogs They enjoy playing instruments, as a lot of classical musicians were from there. (Beethoven, Bach, Necke, Brahms, Handel, etc.) The colors of the flag of Germany somewhat resemble the colors used in the Roman Empire, which were just black and gold. Germans associate the colors of the modern flag with freedom and unity since they were adopted by the first attempt in the united German republic. In the Weimar Republic, following the First World War, the colors black, red, and gold represented the colors of the centrist, republican and democratic political parties. which had formed a coalition to avoid ascension to power by war-mongering or pacifist extremists. The animal that represents Germany is the Black Eagle (that you can also see on the coat of arms). The Motto is Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit (Unity and justice and freedom). Anthem is "Das Deutschlandlied", talking about the proudness of the country and the importance of unity, justice, and freedom (just like the motto) German belongs to the West Germanic group of the Indo-European language family, along with English, Frisian, and Dutch (Netherlandic, Flemish). The recorded history of Germanic languages begins with their speakers first contact with the Romans, in the 1st century BCE.

Golden color symbolizes the freedom of the sun. People like to call them "Germoney" because they are very productive, and so make a lot of money. Also because they want the country that has a debt to pay them quickly. Sometimes, they are also called “Germonie” "Germ" is also a nickname that is sometimes used for Germany. "Ger" is another nickname that is used occasionally The land of poets and thinkers Across the Rhine The Land of the Teutons Niemcy (polish for Germany) Workaholic Deutschland German Ale Deutsch guy German Empire, Weimar Republic, Third Reich There were a lot of things that led up to the start of World War One, but what inevitably started the war was the assassination of the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand on 28 June, 1914. This led to Austria-Hungary, backed by the German Empire, declaring war on Serbia. In the first days of the war, many Germans saw this as a good thing and there was an enthusiastic support of the war. Germany went through Belgium to get to France, wanting to overwhelm them and knock them out of the war early as according to the Schlieffen Plan. If it went to plan, then France's eastern industrial region would be occupied in six to eight weeks and Paris would be surrounded so that Germany could focus on Russia. The Western Front turned into a war of attrition, with around 35,000 miles (56,327 kilometers) of trenches were built from the Swiss border to the English Channel. On the Eastern Front, with the help of Austria, Germany was able to inflict costly defeats to Russia, though they weren't knocked out of the war until 1917 during the October Revolution. In August of 1918, Germany suffered a major defeat in France, and a new more liberal government was installed. They were informed that the war was virtually lost and that they should seek armistice as soon as possible. Revolution broke out in Germany in November which led to the abdication of the Wilhelm II and the creation of the Weimar Republic. The Weimar Republic's start was rocky, as they had to deal with the armistice and the Treaty of Versailles in the first year, which made many citizens blame the Social Democratic government. They also were not viewed as an equal by their former enemies, and rather as an outcast to Europe. Germany was not apart of the negotiations and was forced to sign the treaty with the threat of furthering the war. Germany had to give up over 10% of its land to bordering countries such as France, Denmark, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Belgium. They were also to give up all of their overseas possessions. The War Guilt Clause had Germany taking full responsibility for the war and they had to repay the allies all war reparations, of which they didn't finish paying off until 92 years later in 2010. In 1933, Hitler was elected chancellor and with the Enabling Act came the creation of the Third Reich's regime. After this the siblings East and West Germany became the Adopted childs of a rivals; being the United States and the USSR. They both wanted to reunite, but the USSR wouldn't let them live a happy life as one capitalist country. There was a wall in the way known as the Berlin Wall. The wall separated kids, families, friends, workers, etc. And more commonly, West and East Germans were also separated. Many demanded for the wall to fall down. However, people who tried to cross The Berlin Wall, either did it in dangerous ways, or weren't so lucky. Some may have made it. It was this way for a while before USSR along with several others finally allowed everyone to be free and Germany reunified in 1990 after The Berlin Wall fell on November 9, 1989, due to too much pressure. So far Germany hasn't had any big problems except for recently Article 13 (and they can no longer make their German memes).
