[edit] History
[edit] Establishment of the Empire
The German Empire was founded on March 19, 2008 by Emperor Kristoph and about fifty loyalist followers. These fifty-one people centered the Empire in the independent city of Berlin. Within the first day of its nationhood, the flag was selected and the constitutional monarchical government was established with the Emperor being Kristoph of the House of Württemberg. A couple hours after its founding, the Empire also joined the Christian Coalition of Countries. In late March the nation began to enter a deep recession, though to avoid a full depression, interest rates were lowered and depression was avoided.
[edit] Germany's First War
On March 29, the Empire entered war with Ionicion in defense of an ally in the CCC. The first battle of the war resulted in 315 German casualties and 314 Ionicion casualties, and it was a German victory. The second attack of the day resulted in a larger victory for Germany, 145 casualties and the Ionicions had 217 casualties. The next day, two more German offenses were made. The first attack was a victory with 189 German casualties and 223 Ionicion. Before the second offense, two cruise missiles were launched into Sea City, the capital of Ionicion. The second ground attack was a victory for Germany too, though there were 303 German casualties and 162 Ionicion. Following the second offense, a cease-fire was declared with Ionicion and the war then ended on April 6.
[edit] Liberal Reformation
In May 2008, the government of Germany was reformed and made more democratic; removing the monarch from having any powers or privileges, other than being a symbol. The government reforms involved a sort of Americanization of the ways of the nation. Along with this government reform came a liberal reformation of the nation's views.

The current government of the Empire is views that fall under the category of the liberal. The military of Germany is completely voluntary and a draft has been made unconstitutional. Immigrants to the Empire must take mandatory English classes and then pass a citizenship test and language test in order to become a citizen. Once they do become a citizen, it is encouraged by the government that they also learn German, the second major language of the nation. The school system of the nation is made of public and private schools; with the majority of students in public schools. Private schools usually have a tuition and, in most cases, are religious. Nearly all the universities are private, though many of them receive government support, lowering tuition costs and allowing more citizens attendance. Creationism is taught in schools alongside evolution. Abortion is legal in most cases. Gay marriage is legal. Cloning is legal. Gun ownership is legal with background checks and waiting periods. Assault weapons, though, are outlawed for the civilian population. Recreational drugs are illegal, though marijuana is legal. Affirmative action is illegal. Citizens can get licenses to drive at the age of sixteen. The age of suffrage for all citizens is sixteen. The government maintains a system of national parks. The Empire's energy is largely reliant on solar, hydro, and other alternative sources. The only source not used is nuclear, which is outlawed.
