This mod requires Brave New World.

## Overview

### Germany

The Empire of the German Nation (German: Reich Deutscher Nation, Polish: Imperium Narodu Niemieckiego, Czech: Říše německého národa) is the official successor state to the German Confederation, but in a larger political sense, the Kingdoms of Prussia and Austria. Formed out of German nationalism in the mid-1800's, the superstate finally unified the Germanic peoples under an elective constitutional monarchy, similar to that of the Holy Roman Empire's system of Prince-Electors combined with democratic and libertarian freedoms similar to both Britain and the United States.

Friedrich Wilhelm I, also known as King Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia, the eldest son and successor of Frederick William III of Prussia, reigned as King of Prussia from 1840 to 1861 and Emperor of the Germans from 1848 to 1861. Also referred to as the "romanticist on the throne", he is best remembered for the many buildings he had constructed in Berlin and Potsdam, as well as for the completion of the Gothic Cologne cathedral. In politics, he had been a conservative but turn into a liberalist and nationalist during the revolution of 1848, and in he 1849 accepted the title of Emperor of the Germans offered by the Frankfurt Parliament
