Talk:A World of War: World Revived/@comment-29825777-20160704163759

Federated States of Germany
 * Government: Merkel continues following her policies of building up the economy and infrastructure while also expanding Germany's borders. However, many people are upset over the fact that one person had so much power over the government, and riots begin occurring in Berlin. They become extremely violent, and rioters devastate the Reichstag. As a result, the Senate moves to Cologne as the military is called in to bring order to the streets. In the riots, 28 rioters are killed and 3 MPs are as well. Merkel also decides to move to Cologne as well, making it the national capital, as it is a nicer and better strategical city than Berlin. This year, many new political parties are formed as people take advantage of the political strife in Germany. The states of Holland, Tyrol, Bohemia, and Moravia are also added to the Federation as States, leading to 150 seats up for grabs in the Senate elections.
 * Political Parties: The first political parties in Germany are formed for the first elections, as groups with similar views join together. By December, five main political parties have formed. The first is the Federation Party. Currently the government is controlled by this party, which Merkel is in, and it promotes the current federation government and a strong economy, but is moderately Anti-Islamic, and promotes self funding countries and is expansionist. Second is the Conservative Party, which is strongly anti-Muslim, promotes a strong self-sufficient economy, and an isolationist policy. The Democratic Socialist Party has the beliefs of a global economy, open borders, weaker military, and equal opportunities for education from all classes. The Communist Party believes in no classes, a global economy, powerful state governments, and no difference between culture. Finally, the Christian Democratic Party, which believes in a life modeled after the Commandments and wishes for no class difference, equal economic opportunity, a religious state, and a weak military. Early polls place the Federation Party at 37%, the Conservative Party at 32%, the Christian Democratic Party at 13%, the Democratic Socialists at 10%, and the Conservatives at 6%. The other 4% vote for smaller parties.
 * Munich Car Bombs: On March 25, 2017, explosions are heard in Munich. A total of 4 bombs explode from passing cars, and one is stopped before blowing up in a crowded plaza. One explodes in a plaza, 2 by restaurants, and one more by a local fire station. The death toll is 72. The 3 terrorists captured leads to arrests of 35 more people who helped the terrorists obtain the bombs and get into Germany. The people eventually trace to Boko Haram and the Nigerian government. This attack leads to two major changes in Germany. One, immigration is cut massively. The immigration that remains takes forever, similar to the process to enter the United States today. Secondly, diplomatic ties between Nigeria and Germany collapse, leading to war.
 * Research: German scientists manage to make solar power almost as cheap as regular sources of power, and thus hundreds of thousands of people in Germany begin to buy solar power. By December, the estimated number of clean energy users in Germany is 20,340,000, which is 1/6 of the population. Car companies like Volkswagen have created electric cars, but look so hideous no one buys them. In space, Germany has over 80 satellites in orbit, and the German Space Program (GSP) decides to begin construction of a German space station. The design uses multiple rooms, each with its own piece, that can be locked on to the other pieces. This allows for modernization of the GSS (German Space Station) without having to scuttle it. Construction begins in October of 2017, but is extremely limited due to little funding as the focus is on reaching the moon. An attempt is made to make it to the moon in December, but an issue with the controls forces the pilots to turn around and make an emergency landing in the Indian Ocean, where they are rescued by an Indian coast guard and sent back to Germany. The problem was fixed in late December, and a new moon launch is planned for January 3, 2018.
 * Analytics: Germany is continuing to grow, even as political conflict wrecks the nation.
 * Economy/Industry: The economy reaches 3.8 Trillion USD, and unemployment is only at 4%. Germany now produces mostly military equipment, cars, and alternate energy. Private small corporations dominate the market, and trade with other nations such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Romania, and Iran increase, while trade with Russia, Poland, Hungary, and France starts to decrease. Germany has begun exporting more than it has been importing, and most citizens are middle class, with only 6,204,000 people beneath the poverty line. Many oil companies have started investing into Nigeria, as German occupation allows for safer conditions to drill and refine oil. Another market opens up in construction, as many urban planners are disgusted by Nigerian cities and begin designing modern flats and skyscrapers to put in cities in Nigeria, and modernize the colony's infrastructure.
 * Infrastructure/Public Services: In Germany itself, high speed rails are being built to and from major cities such as Cologne, Berlin, and Frankfurt, and many highways have been repaved. The states that made up former Austria and Luxembourg are also repaired. In the states of Bohemia, Moravia, and Holland however, reconstruction is still not at German standards, but is expected to be complete next year. The economy is doing so well that German citizens under 18 do not even have to pay for train tickets, and free healthcare is provided to about 30,000,000 people. In Nigeria, infrastructure and public services have sprung to a halt. Damage from the war and terrible roads in general have led to major German road companies investing in Nigeria and starting to reconstruct roads. Some companies also begin bringing in modern medical equipment and build clean hospitals for Nigerians.
 * Demographics: Due to terror attacks in Munich, immigration is extremely limited, and since Nigeria is not annexed German territory, its population does not count. In 2017, 640,000 people are born inside German-owned territories, 1,030,000 immigrate to Germany (down by 1/3), and 27,540,000 are conquered and become German citizens. As a result, German population this year is 120,170,000 people. The population of Germany is 68% German, 16% Other Europeans, 6% Middle Eastern/Turkish, 2% Nigerian, 2% Indian, 2% Chinese, 2% Brazilian, 1% American, and 1% Australian.
 * German Military: This year, Merkel forces ALL refuges to join the military. While about 1/3 manage to avoid the draft, an additional 180,000 soldiers are recruited. Of these, 40,000 become reserves and the rest become active. A ton of new equipment is imported from the PRE, and German factories are almost producing equipment at wartime levels. New equipment designs for every branch in the military are ready, and production begins on them this year. Also, 98% of Germany can read or write, but this number is slowly declining due to Muslim immigration from impoverished areas such as Syria and Nigeria. Religiously, Germany is 40% Atheist, 25% Roman Catholic, 23% Protestant, 8% Muslim, and 4% Other Religions.
 * Military Research: On January 1, 2017, files relating to designs of next generation German equipment are declassified and released to the public. The AR-17, short for the Assault Rifle 2017, is the new gun to be used by German soldiers. It is much more accurate than the weapons currently used by the military, and has a fire rate of 210 per minute. It is difficult to jam as well, and can withstand small amounts of pressure and water. Infantry also receive Kevlar body armor and this allows soldiers to take 1 shot before the armor is penetrated. Next up is the T-17, which is short for the Tank 2017. It is able to withstand 3 shells before it gets disabled, can hold 20 shells and 17,000 bullets for the LMG, and is very maneuverable, reaching speeds of up to 76 MPH and can turn on short space. The new infantry transport vehicle, the ICTV-17, which stands for Infantry Cargo Transport Vehicle 2017, can transport up to 30 soldiers and hold up to 27 tons of cargo, and can reach speeds of 93 MPH, and has an LMG on the top. Artilery designs relating to the Railgun I model will be finished next year. Due to design flaws, new air force and naval designs will not be complete until next year.

 * Conflicts: Germany conquers the Czech Republic and Austria to soothe the increasingly nationalist German society
 * German Invasion of the Czech Republic (8/3/2017 - 8/28/2017): German forces cross the border from all directions in a push towards Prague. After a few weeks of fighting, Prague falls, and the Czech Republic is annexed to Germany as the two states of Bohemia and Moravia.
 * German Invasion of the Netherlands (1/1/2017 - 2/3/2017): On New Year's, while everyone in the Netherlands is celebrating, German aircraft fly over the border and begin carpet bombing major cities and military bases. The German navy begins a blockade of Dutch ports, and land forces begin moving across the border. German forces become bogged down in urban areas, but still manage to seize Amsterdam, and Holland surrenders. The Netherlands are annexed into Germany as the State of Holland.
 * German War on Terror Against Nigeria (4/2/2017 - Present): After the terror attacks in Munich, Merkel declares a war on radical Islam, and has paratroopers land in Lagos, toppling the current regime, which falls into chaos as the remaining government calls on the reserves to defeat the Germans in the city. Naval support arrives a week later with the first wave of the 30,000 troops to be sent to Nigeria in 2017. By June, Lagos is proclaimed terrorist free, and is put under the authority of the new German Colonial Secretary, as Merkel believes the only way to keep Africa free from terror groups is to control potential breeding grounds for terrorism. German forces construct a new airstrip in the city and begin building refuge camps in German occupied lands to help those fleeing the northern government and Boko Haram. In August, with 13,000 troops in Nigeria, an offensive begins to secure the city of Ibadan, which falls on August 23. By December, with all 30,000 troops in Nigeria, the coast falls to German forces, and advances are made 50 miles inland. The war is set to last for at least 2 more years, as Nigerian numbers limit German advances.

 * Japan: An alliance is requested.
 * Spain: An alliance is signed.
 * Poland: Germany demands former German pre-WWI lands be returned to Germany or war will be declared.
 * Russia: Demands they withdraw from Japan.
 * Iran: Alliance is signed.
