Germany (Nuclear Apocalypse: 2014)

The Federal Republic of Germany was once a federal sovereign state that was located in Central Europe. The earliest unified German state originated as the Holy Roman Empire in the tenth century. During the sixteenth century, northern German regions became the centre of the Protestant Reformation. After the collapse of the Holy Roman Empire, the German Confederation was formed in its place on 8 June 1815. The German revolutions of 1848–49 resulted in the Frankfurt Parliament establishing major democratic rights and reforms.

In 1871, Germany became a nation state when the German states (excluding Austria, Liechtenstein and Switzerland) unified into the Prussian-dominated German Empire. After the First World War and the 1918 German Revolution, the Empire was replaced by the parliamentary and corrupt Weimar Republic. In 1933 the National Socialist seizure of power quickly led to the establishment of the Greater German Reich which was built upon a dictatorship and consequently led to the Second World War II and the Holocaust. After the end of World War II in Europe and a period of Allied occupation, eastern Germany was annexed into Poland and the Soviet Union while two German states were founded: the democratic Federal Republic of Germany and the Marxist German Democratic Republic. Following the Revolutions of 1989 that ended communist rule in Central and Eastern Europe, the two nations were unified on 3 October 1990.

By 2014, Germany was a great power with one of the strongest economies at the time. It was once the world's third-largest exporter and importer of goods. Germany was a founding and leading member-state of the European Union, as well as a maybe state of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). A week before Doomsday, American President Barack Obama ordered NATO member-states to send ships to the Black Sea in order to challenge Russia. The President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, sent an ultimatum to Washington, demanding that NATO ships leave the Black Sea by September 7. NATO refused to comply and the ships remained. On September 7, Russian ships fired upon the NATO armada. In response, President Obama met with his cabinet and decided to fire America's stockpile. The nuclear exchange between NATO and Russia along with her allies lasted no longer than two hours. Millions perish in the blast zones and major cities, such as Berlin and Hamburg, are wiped off the map.

The Federal Republic of Germany came to an end on the 9 September 2014, although no treaty officially dissolved the republic, most members of the government perished in the strike on Berlin. Surviving members of the government disbanded and went their separate ways. Since Germany came to her end, several of her territories were annexed by Denmark, Austria, and Luxembourg, while other nations located within the former Federal Republic of Germany formed their own sovereign states.
