Germany (Long live the Qing)

Founded in 1871, the German Empire is one of the main powers in Europe. Her colonial aspirations in Asia and the Pacific could never be fulfilled, but its huge industrial and military potential is indeed impressing. Nowadays, Germany has alienated itself greatly from Great Britain, France and Russia due to her aggressive foreign policy, and only Austria-Hungary remains her faithful ally. Economic co-operation with the Ottoman Empire and Northern China are also working well, and it can be argued that Northern China is Germany's most important ally.
