Germany
 * Goverment & Politics: In early March, the current president of Germany, Joachim Gauk, dies from a heart attack, a big funeral is made and it is transmited in the German national TV, with thousands of people present in said funeral. The sudden death of Joachim leads to a crisis regarding how the next president should be choosed, with some people thinking that ir should appointed by the Bundestag and some others suggesting a vote. Angela Merkel proposes a bill that would merge the powers of Federal Chancellor and President of Germany into one office temporarly, with the excuse of stabilizing the goverment until the goverment decides how to elect the next president. The Bundestag passes said bill with an extremly small margin, since the SPD and other opposition parties such as Die Linke (The Left) voted against said bill. Eventually, Merkel is named Bundeskanzler und Bundespräsident der Bundesrepublik Deutschland" (Chancellor and President of the Federal Republic of Germany) or Kanzler und Präsident der Deutschland (Canchellor and President of Germany) for short. The movement becomes very controvertial, as Merkel now has absolute power, opposition parties compare her to Hitler, claiming that she is trying to become a "Führer". Later on, the SPD breaks relations with the Coalition Goverment of Angela Merkel as a result of this move, leaving the "Grand Coalition" formed earlier. In order to counter this, the Christian Social Union in Bavaria (CSU) merges with Merkel's party, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), still hoding a majority in the Bundestag. As for the attacks launched at Merkel, she responds by stating that the merging is only temporal, but that she will still run for Chancellor and President next year, but leaving the President office as soon as she is elected in order to leave someone else hold the charge once again.
 * Großdeutschland: After the entire drama about the President and Chancellor offices merging, Merkel begins to apply a bunch of brand new policies. Syrian refugees recieved in 2015 and early 2016 will be allowed to stay and earn german citizenship but Germany will not recieve more refugees from now on. Merkel states that this is done to prevent Islamic extremism from entering Deutchsland, quoting the November 13 and March 22 attacks in Paris and Brussels as examples. The refugees recieve economical aid and most of them are able to afford a decent home and life by the end of the year, however, the german goverment seeks to "germanize" and "integrate" the refugees, so all of them are forced to learn German and follow German traditions, although they are still allowed to follow their own religion, but Christianism is promoted among their communities as an alternative to Islam, especially for children. Nationalist and patriotic propaganda also becomes increasingly common as a New Imperialist Era begins in the entire world, the propaganda is secretly used to brainwash the german population, in order to make them feel proud of their country and encourage them to join the Armed Forces. This propaganda is mostly secretly placed in social media. At the same time, the german goverment tries to stop demonizing concepts such as "Reich", "Großdeutschland" and "Führer", using a variety of arguments, such as saying that the concepts are misunderstood and that they are not "evil" themselves, but that nazis made them bad. Merkel also makes a series of speechs promoting pangermanism, stating that all germanic people should be united into one banner, as they're all brothers.
 * Military: Merkel increases the military budget in response to imperialism rising all over the world. Compulsory conscription is also reinforced after it was suspended in 2011. Merkel hopes to increase the number of military effectives with the use of propaganda and the enforcement of compulsory conscription. The Navy and the Air Force also recieves huge quantities of funding.
 * Heer (Army): The number of active military personeel is quickly raised to 210,000 after enforced conscription was put in effect. Germany prepares to massively increase the number of military personeel by movilizing the German population, since the current number of the military is not enough to cover German ambitious. As for the reserves, they are increased to 50,000 and plans for making them active begin. Land military vehicles are also increased, with the Schützenpanzer Puma being mass produced. The Puma is one of Germany's most powerful and recent tanks, they are expected to renplace all old german tanks in order to increase their military strenght.
 * Luftwaffe (Air Force): Although the Luftwaffe is among the best-equiped Air Forces around the world, aircraft unserviceability is a common issue. Because of this, the Lieutenant General (and current commander of the Air Force) Frederik Von Sttugart begins a program for modernizing the Luftwaffe by renplacing the old and not-functioning aircraft with brand new aircraft. After recieving increased funding from the Federal Goverment, the modernization project begins, and old aircraft is being gradually renplaced and modernized.
 * Marine (Navy): A similar project is done for the Marine. Old ships will be gradually replaced by new models in order to catch up with the rest of Europe. Germany starts building more submarines, as they want to have an strong enough Navy.
 * Wars & Conflicts:
 * Invasion of Ghana: In early March, the german marine starts getting closer and closer to Ghanan coasts. The movement doesn't goes unoticed by Ghana, but before they can even do anything, 90,000 german troops land in Ghanan coasts along with 50 tanks and a couple trucks. The germans quickly seize coastal cities, taking Accra with Luftwaffe support by September. Since the germans are superior to the Ghanans in practically everything, around two thirds of the country are occupied by the end of the year, with only an small resistance in the northeast still in feet.
 * Intervention against the Islamic State:: The Luftwaffe conducts airstrikes against ISIS, mostly focusing in Iraq as a way of improving relations. 3,000 german troops are also sent to fight ISIS in Iraq under the command of Persian-Iraqi generals.
 * Economy: As the European Union has collapsed and the Euro is near collapse as well, Germany adopts the Mark once again. Everything else stays the same, with the economy growing at an slighty faster rate thanks to trade with members of the GL.
 * Diplomacy:
 * France: Germany asks them to only annex the french-speaking parts of Switzerland and to leave the remaining parts alone, as they're germanic as well.  Besides of that, relations remain friendly as the two countries are part of the Global League.
 * Switzerland: Since Switzerland is under French attack, borders are opened completely and humanitarian aid is sent to the Switz population.
 * Global League: Relations increase with all members of the Global League.
 * Luxembourg: Since Luxembourg is a fellow germanic country, Merkel invites them to join Germany in order to create the Germanic Federation. Merkel states that Luxembourg should do this because otherwise they could get conquered soon, quoting Belgium as an example.
 * Netherlands: Merkel visits Netherlands this year, signing a defensive pact with the Dutch leader in response to the recent events in Belgium. Germany also requests open borders, since the Schengen Area is probably not in effect anymore. In hope to increase relations further, Dutch is now being taught in German schools more often. The real motive for all of this is that Merkel plans to integrate the Netherlands into the Germanic Federation in a couple years.
 * Austria: Open borders, free trade agreement and alliances are signed. Germany also supports Austria in their invasion of Slovenia by sending some Luftwaffe forces to bomb Slovenian resistance.
 * Greece: Relations increase and an alliance is signed.
 * Persia: Merkel visits Persia to see the differences with old Iran and then signs an alliance.
 * Nubian Empire: Relations increase with the rising empire and an alliance is signed.
 * Japan: An alliance is signed and a "huge secret plan" is done along with Italy.
 * Islamic Caliphate: Germany is neutral to the Islamic Caliphate for now, although they do support Nubia and Persia, which are their rivals.
 * Angola: Germany asks to buy the Cabinda enclave for 40 million Euro, as it has no practical use for Angola. Adittionally, Merkel proposes a "personal gift" of 10 million Euro to the Angolan president if he accepts the deal.
 * Namibia: Germany sends a sudden ultimatum to Namibia demanding that they do not join the union proposed by South Africa, otherwise there will be war.
 * South Africa: Germany is not happy with South Africa trying to stop european expansion in Africa since they already had plans for Namibia. However, Germany decides to work out a deal rather than downright invading South Africa; Germany will withdraw their ambitions in Namibia and they will let them join the Federation if South Africa agrees to transfer an small portion of Namibia to Germany (around half of the Karas Region). Said land will become the nation of German Namibia, and all ethnic germans living in the rest of Namibia would be sent there, and the natives in German Namibia would be given the choice of staying or moving to the South African Federation. German Namibia would act as an overseas territory of Germany. Germany also states that if they do not accept the deal, anything could happen, since Germany could bring an entire European coalition to colonize South Africa. Another part of the deal is that South Africa should not expand into Tanzania or the DRC (they're free to expand anywhere else). If all the parts of the deal are accepted, Germany will increase relations, sign an alliance and possibly help South Africa in their effort of uniting the southern part of Africa by giving them some technologies.
 * Brazil: An alliance is requested after Dilma was taken out of from power.
