Germany

== The Mappers: ==
* Gamingdamson: Most of Germany
* Ralseiness: Sorbian Republic
* CaptainTopHatMan: East Frisian Republic
== Humble Beginnings: ==
=== Xenvox Rework: ===
Before the Ralseiness takeover, Post-Apoc saw a previous community rework directed by Xenvox. During this rework, when states were still small, Germany was made over the course of several days, as it required cautious consideration. The amount of details in the map ranged, with North-Rhine Westphalia and the East turning out more detailed and well explained than other parts of the map. However, it was still a decent beginning from the very old Post-Apoc map for Germany, which saw a lot of open spaces without any centralized state. However, good chunks of Germany were still unorganized states. The rework initially received criticism as it was one of the first ones to be added during the Xenvox rework, which made Germany look a lot more filled than everything around it. It also included the Netherlands, which should be added on a Sidenote.
== The great rework: ==
=== The map itself: ===
With the arrival of the Ralseiness takeover, Gamingdamson has been keen on establishing himself as the continued mapper of Germany. A decision that would prove as the right one. Having done all the work within 2-3 Mega Rework Sessions to consolidate his own progress within Germany, the map itself was finished quite quickly. This time, it would not include the Dutch lands. The German map would be considered a "model" for other Post-Apoc reworks by Ralseiness himself. 
=== The return of old States: ===
The Federal Republic of Germany, The Sauerland Confederation, The Free State of Bavaria, the Cooperative State of Airmen, and a few more; States previously mapped out in the Xenvox find their way back into the Ralseiness rework. Simply put, some of those states cannot be ignored. The FRG is now centralized in Berlin, rather than being spread thinly. The Sauerland Confederation is now the Federal Republic of Arnsberg, and even less stable than before! And the spirit of NATO is not dead yet, as remnants of NATO continue the fight in the Palatinate region of Germany. 
=== Notable Deviations from modern maps: ===
==== Stettin Takeover: ====
Stettin would see itself be cut off from the rest of Poland following a nuclear explosion in the City which also affected infrastructure connecting it to the rest. As the only major city west of the Oder-Neisse Rivers which is not part of Germany, a German expeditionary force occupied the city and managed to hold control over the city, with the Poles having either fled to the east of the river or having scrambled into the West Pomeranian countryside in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, scattering the old population around. 
==== The Schleswig Question: ====
With the Danish population spread more sparsely than the German one and more largely concentrated on the islands off of Jutland, German Nations in southern Schleswig were able to largely occupy parts of northern Schleswig. While ethnic compositions are still largely the same, German consolidation over the region in the next few decades is not unlikely.
==== The Meusse River and the Liege Question: ====
Embroiled in civil tensions between Walloons and Flemish, the regions closer to the German Border started to align more closely toward the states in the Rhineland, hoping to gain protection and access to remaining coal deposits in the Rhine Valley. This would have shaped the region politically and resulted in some deviations.
==== The debate over Sorbian culture revival and how it made Alsace Alsatian: ====
The Existence of a Sorbian State kind of irritated Gamingdamson initially, as realistically speaking, Sorbians, post-war, would only make up 1-2 Thousand people. However, with Ralseiness holding control, and a Sorbian Culture Revival being argued, there has been a compromise established, that in return for a Sorbian State being allowed to exist, Alsatians would have similar Culture Revival capabilities. This would be justified via- a nuclear explosion in Straßburg, which decimated the areas with a reduced amount of Alsatian speakers, and more French speakers. With Alsatian being spoken by 40-45% of the Population fluently pre-war, and over 60% having a basic understanding of the Language, a cultural revival of Alsatian in Alsace felt realistic, especially with the provisions of the Ernst Z. Schulte Line.
==== The end of Luxemburg [kind of]: ====
Luxemburg, being a rather tiny nation with a low population amount, would quickly become a nation desired by both the French and Germans. The Germans, who, before the Ernst Z. Schulte Line established itself, already managed to kick out the French from Alsace, would seize the chance to occupy the state of Luxemburg. While a Grand Duchy still exists outside the core land, the prospect of Luxemburg is demoralized, and with high German-speaking percentages of over 85%, the region is now somewhat assimilated into the Moselle-Franconian Culture.
=== The urge to remove the Volkswagen State: ===
Having attempted to contact Ralseiness a bajillion times about this, the Corporate State of Volkswagen, was still not removed. The label was only removed and the nation was then removed on April 30.
