History
Pre-Swedish Germany
Takeover
Germany was an independent nation until Sweden attacked it on 1 May 2008. This event is called the Sweden-Germany War. Germany lost most of its territory and was heavily controlled by Sweden.
After the election of Popolo as the German President (whose ascent to power was tainted by accusations of fraud), the German Government cancelled many trade and Mutual Protection agreements with other nations. The cancellation of a four-month mutual protection pact with Sweden had thrown into doubt the continued legality of the German State, as the protection pact stated that if the pact's conditions are not maintained or met by Germany, then Germany, along with its treasury, belongs to Sweden. The situation escalated into the Second Sweden-Germany War.
Independent Germany
Rebirth of Germany
On November 19, 2008, rebel groups in Germany, along with another force from the Czech Republic, began the first multi-region resistance war in Erepublik, known as the German Independence War. Germany would regain control of five of its original territories. Swedish soldiers had strict orders not to fight against the German resistance, as the war was approved of by the Swedish congress. On the 2nd of December the Swedish Congress halted the German resistance war after the president of Germany threatened Sweden with a trade embargo[1] if they didn't return the German Marks (DEM) that they had in their possession.
In a close presidential race, Freie Deutsche Demokraten candidate DKN beat Federal Social Democrat Party candidate Justin Tyme by a margin of 6 votes in the December 2008 election.
Federal Social Democrat Party Controversy
The Federal Social Democrat Party came under attack shortly after the December 2008 presidential election when a user named Citizen Ruth wrote an article exposing that the majority of the party's members come from a forum called Facepunch Studios. Citizen Ruth's article focused on negative comments from the forums' users, which pertained to racism and war. An argument followed in the comments section of Citizen Ruth's article between mainly Citizen Ruth and Facepunch Studios' members, in which many members pointed out that Citizen Ruth had not acknowledged the many positive comments and ideas made on the forum.
Restored Germany
Operation Burning Spirit
On January 10, 2009, resistance wars were started in all 6 remaining German territories controlled by Sweden in Operation Burning Spirit. With the help of PEACE GC, Germans were able to regain their original territories and restore the country to its former size. The wars were started in response to stalls from the Swedish government in giving Germany its territories back. Swedish officials were upset by Germany's actions and Misho, Sweden's Minister of Defense, wrote several articles comparing eGermany to Nazis and spreading propaganda that Germany held plans for imperialism.
Isy vs. Nolan
There were two candidates for the February presidential election: Isy (FDD) and Nolan Pitler, who lost the party president seat to Isy, but was allowed to run for president by Lhasa, president of Open Mind Germany. Despite many political leaders discouraging Pitler from running, he and his supporters pressed onward to the election, with the objective to "ensure democracy in Germany." Isy would win with 94 votes to Pitler's 41.
Germany-Austria
Austro-German Union
On 27 February, 2009, Isy, president of Germany, and Chicco, president of Austria, both signed an agreement to go to induct Austria into Germany, forming a peaceful union in eRepublik, which would be called Germany-Austria. Austria would join through peaceful and regulated war, and the conduct of the union was determined by a pre-written contract signed by both presidents.
Splitting of the Union
Shortly after uniting with Austria, Austro-German people began talks of joining an alliance. After a couple weeks of deliberation, Germany-Austria joined ATLANTIS, and PEACE GC countries Italy and Hungary began the resistance effort known as the Austria-PEACE Resistance War throughout the Austrian regions in an effort to "liberate the oppressed Austrian people." The war would result in a PEACE-despising Germany, and a free Austria, where Italy, Hungary and Slovenia kept most regions until Austrian resistance leader Metallon could organize government and population in Austria.
Post-Austrian Germany
Continued Swedish Aggression
In the May 2009 presidential elections, Swedish candidate Kalle Holm promised the Swedish people a war with Germany if he was re-elected. Holm won the election and posted a second article announcing his intentions to persuade the rest of the ATLANTIS members to vote Germany out of the alliance. Germany, a passive member of ATLANTIS hoping to become an active one, pleaded the rest of ATLANTIS to vote against kicking Germany out.
Kalle Holm stated that after voting Germany out of the alliance, Sweden would declare war on Germany and attack it to "show the world Sweden's might." This was only a little over a month that Sweden agreed to let Germany into the alliance as temporary trial member originally.
Declaration of War
On May 18 2009, after weeks of diplomatic attempts to gather support for either side of the Sweden-Germany conflict, Sweden declared war on Germany and began the Third Sweden-Germany War. Much of ATLANTIS sided with Germany, however after some time the United States of America and the United Kingdom both officially declared neutrality, though many citizens still supported the German war effort.
Polish Political Takeover
Partly through the war, citizens of Poland moved to Germany and ran for congress. Many candidates made it in, and after some research, it was discovered that many of them were multis. They were then reported and mostly banned, allowing Germans to once again control their congress.
shoot's Betrayal
shoot, a half-year veteran "German" politician, ran for president as the only candidate besides Gobba. shoot received additional support from Swedish and Polish citizens who moved to Germany to vote him into office. After illegitimately winning the presidential election, shoot began to hand over German regions to the Swedish, and published an article disclosing his infiltration of the German state.
With only the region of Vorarlberg left to Germany, the Swedes started a resistance war that would return the region to Austria and destroy the remainder of the German state, and succeeded.
PEACE Liberation of Germany
PEACE Frees Germany
Just a few days following the complete conquer of German lands in the Third Sweden-Germany War, PEACE forces from Italy, Hungary, and France would push Swedish and Polish troops out of occupied Germany, escalating the conflict into the Central European War.
After the liberation of Germany, Hungary, Italy, and France made negotiations on the returning of German regions to Germany. Hungary and France would give back the regions uncontested, with the exceptions of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Hesse for discussed purposes. Negotiations with Italy led to a contract, in which Germany would pay Italy for war costs in return for the Italian-occupied regions.
Germany during the Second Polish Political Takeover
Polish Political Takeover
In July the Takeover Unit (PTU) - a team lead and organised by aVie - attempted and succeeded in PTOing Germany in the July 2009 Congressional Elections. After that, a new party - intentionally misleading called PEACE Party - was founded and it was attempted to also win the presidential elections. This failed and Gobba secured his office. But a few days before the August 2009 congressional elections the PTU successfully impeached Gobba (22:11) and the polish candidate Adam Blayer was president of Germany for 7 days, before successfully being impeached by the August 2009 congress, which was without any PTU members.
500.000 DEM Coup
During the time of the Takeover the polish raised over 3000 Gold and in an outrageous act printed 600.000 DEM. Instantly the German Congress started blocking this Money and with the Help of Hungary it was possible to secure half a million DEM. In the end the poles successfully got 100.000 DEM out of it and Germany received 500.000 DEM. The costs for this operation in which Hungary attacked and occupied Germany, with the exception of the Saarland, were about 400g and again 400g for the Revolutions which followed afterwards when the regions were given back. All costs were covered by Medal Auctions, which in the end even brought a large surplus of gold!
Germany as a part of PEACE
Under the presientship of The German Eagle in September and October 2009, Germany was permitted to join PEACE Global Community and has since been a full-hearted Member of the Alliance and a large contributer to the PEACEkeepers.
