The Federal Republic of Germany
 * Government: On June 29, a scandal is leaked onto the Internet via whistle blower Edward Snowden that involves President Joachim Gauck. He is impeached and ousted from office by the Bundestag (German Congress) and Angela Merkel becomes the official executive leader of Germany. Merkel declares a "state of emergency" even though it really is not needed, and uses this to gain power for herself, claiming it is for the good of the German people. Merkel takes direct control over the military, foreign policy, and parts of the economy, while the Bundestag has control over public services and immigration. Merkel decides to make the Bundestag more efficient and secretly plans to kill most members of the legislature. Twelve Muslim immigrants are hired by Merkel to attack a meeting of the Bundestag in Berlin. They do this, and 48 representatives are killed, and the terrorists manage to flee before Merkel can "catch" them. Over the next few weeks, 300 MPs resign over fear of another attack, and Merkel declares the Bundestag dead. In its place, she proposes the German Senate. It will be filled with 10 senators from each state, and will have the same powers as the Bundestag did after Merkel took complete control. Merkel also reorganizes the states a little, and as a result the new states of Germany are Holstein, Hanover, Westfalen, Rhineland, Hesse, Anhalt, Saxony, Mecklenburg, Brandenburg, Bavaria, and Baden. This leads to 100 seats in the Senate, and with territorial changes, Austria is added as the 11th state and Luxembourg is absorbed into Rhineland, resulting the the German Senate having 110 seats. Elections will be held in 2018, and will continue every 4 years, while Merkel is in indefinite power.
 * Research: German scientists begin designing an electric car that can be sold at prices that the average German can afford, and is estimated to be complete in 2018. More scientists also begin to follow the Paris Accords, and begin cutting on oil imports from the Middle East in favor of harnessing wind, solar, and water power. Construction of the Remagen Dam, on the Rhine River, begins. The dam will be the largest in Europe and will provide power to the entire Rhine Valley and areas west of it. The dam will be complete by 2020. More wind farms are built in Bavaria to obtain alternate energy sources there.
 * Space Program: Merkel orders the beginning of a German space program in order to give Germany influence above the Earth as well. Designs for the V3 Rocket are completed and the first German astronauts are sent into space. Dozens of satellites are put into Earth orbit by the German military and private companies. A moon mission is planned for 2018 and designs for a German space station are beginning.
 * Analytics: Germany is now beginning to grow in most areas as the economy and population boom allows for more growth in other sectors.
 * Economy: The German economy begins growing as more people allows for more labor to do more work. German GDP grows from $3,460,000,000,000 to $3,610,000,000,000, and unemployment is at 4.3%. Wind energy, military equipment, and services are the main parts of Germany's economy.
 * Infrastructure/Public Services: By now, public transport is available for relatively cheap prices around Germany. Roads, bridges, ports, and airports are maintained and kept modern, so Germany does not face infrastructure problems like the United States or People's Republic of China. Healthcare, however, is not free. The economy needs to improve a bit more for this to happen. It is estimated to occur by 2022.
 * Demographics: German population in 2016 grows from 80,220,000 by 310,000 naturalized inside Germany. Conquered lands give 9,110,000 growth to Germany, and 1,320,000 people migrate to Germany. This leads to a total of 90,960,000 people living in Germany. The nation is 40% Protestant, 20% Catholic, 30% Atheist, 5% Sunni Islam, and 5% of other beliefs.
 * German Army (GA): The German military begins growing and improving itself, with new land and air equipment models to be in use next year. A new law is passed by Parliament that allows refuges citizenship if they join the GA. This year, 120,000 soldiers are recruited (98,000 are refuges). 20,000 of these soldiers are put into the reserves, and 100,000 of the reserves become active soldiers.
 * Military Research: Designs for new land and air equipment is complete. The blueprints will be designed and used next year.
 * German Ground Forces (GGF): The GGF consists of:
 * 345,000 Active Soldiers
 * 65,000 Reserve Soldiers
 * 434 Tanks
 * 5,921 Light Combat Vehicles
 * 195 Artillery Batteries
 * 54 Rocket Systems
 * German Air Force (GAF): The GAF consists of:
 * 712 Fighter Jets
 * 371 Helicopters
 * German Navy (GN): The GN consists of:
 * 10 Frigates
 * 10 Submarines
 * 14 Coastal Defense Craft
 * Logistics: Germany has:
 * A military budget of $41,000,000,000
 * A labor force of 54,000,000
 * Oil Usage of 2,430,000 Barrels a Day
 * 13 Major Ports
 * 689,000 miles of roads
 * 46,000 miles of railroad tracks
 * 542 Airports
 * Conflicts:
 * Operation City: Invasion of Luxembourg (7/4/2016 - 7/7/2016): German forces numbering about 8,000, with 13 tanks, cross the border between Germany and Luxembourg on July 4, and reach the outskirts of Luxembourg City on July 5. Moderate fighting occurs as the 1,000 strong Luxembourgian army (yes, they have an army) tries to defend the city. Fighting ends on July 7, when the Luxembourgian troops not captured or killed surrender. Casualties are 80 German soldiers and 105 Luxembourgers. Luxembourg is annexed into Germany.
 * Operation Rising Eagle: Invasion of Austria (8/12/2016 - 11/23/2016): On August 12, German forces numbering at 97,000, with 138 tanks, invade Austria. Salzburg is seized in the first week, and after 3 weeks of fighting Linz and Innsburck are taken. Austrian resistance slows down the German advance a bit, but it cannot hold off Germany due to the invading army's massive numerical and technological advantage. German forces begin a march on Vienna and Graz, and Vienna is taken on October 13. Graz is taken on November 2, and the entire country is occupied by November 22. The next day, Austria is annexed into Germany.
 * Diplomacy:
 * Peoples's Republic of China: Merkel requests an alliance with the PRC. (Accepted)
 * United States of America: Merkel requests an alliance with the USA.
 * France: Merkel requests an alliance with France.
 * Denmark: A request is made by Merkel to buy the German dominated Holstein region that is owned by Denmark for $2,340,000.
