**Early German towns and nation**

Separated communities have existed in Germany since the beginning of written records (When the server opened), these people had different cultures, leaders, traditions and goals. Some of these nations include:

-Berlin

-German League

-Bengburg

**Start of New Königsberg**

"I joined September 03. I walked across northern Europe as I wanted to settle on Königsberg but it was taken. I settled on a place where I found an abandoned shack. I invited my friend copycat\_ to the town then we both log off. Next day I join in for a sec to check my crops then I log out. I come back 15 mins later, log back in and I notice that my entire screen is covered by technoblade's face. It was Apsolution and Falcon. They told me to move out of there but I refused. The offered me 5k to delete my town but I refused again. They said that I was in "Polish land" to which I responded by saying that it was wilderness. The threatened to war me and my town. Even going as far as trying to declare war on #diplomacy; however, their war declaration was refused by Dan (the owner). They seem to have a problem against Germans existing. Aps called me and my other people "Nazis" just because we wanted to unify Germany. This lead the people of Munich to disband their old nation and Join the German empire" -Coopergam67 Kaiser of Germany.

**Unification**

The idea of German unification had been considered, but never completely implemented before New Konigsberg came into the picture. In fact, the towns of Berlin and Munich had unified once, but the leader of Berlin AidenOnPodcast claimed the Munich members had stolen the money he had placed in the nation bank. With Slavia Coopergam quickly talked to the leaders of both towns and offered unification. After long talks, the Leaders of Berlin and Munich agreed to unify. A meeting was held at Amnoon (Graddod acting as an intermediary) and the German Empire was proclaimed.

**Political instability and Civil war**

The political system in the new nation was really chaotic and with constant struggles of power. For example, AidenOnpodcast's friend Jstdanny was given the same rank as Coopergam67 and Retrofuture, despite him not leading any town in the nation.

About a week passed since the unification and leavvrest logs in to play a bit, just to notice all the stuff in their chests is gone. Cooper had recently toggled all nation perms on so that the new railway system they had built could work. A couple days before Jstdanny had told Cooper while on call that Aidenonpodcast had stolen their potions, jailed their pig 'technoblade' and was eyeing up Cooper's gear, but nothing was done about it. Therefore, all evidence pointed to Aiden taking their stuff. Retrofuture and Coopergam discussed the issue and agreed to revolt if the items were not returned. A pings were sent to the people of Berlin but there was no response. A revolt was declared.

> "@Supreme Leader Shiba, Obey! the towns of New\_Königsberg and Munich have decided to launch a coup d'État against the town of "Berlin". Items were stolen from New\_Königsberg by players from "Berlin" and as such we wish to retake them as well as restore order in the country. All other German states are free to join us in our revolution. We ask foreign nations to leave German affairs to the Germans and not intervene" -Coopergam67 in #diplomacy

The war started when one of the Berlin member came online. He escaped and only 1 siege was made. Later on, Aiden logged on and was quickly killed by Munich members in front of his palace. The so called "war" only saw Aiden die a couple of times. He denied all accusations of robbery until the end. The war ended with Aiden deleting his town and the Nation. People from all over the server looted the place as soon as it fell. Later on Dandose identified the robber to be a member of the town of Berlin.

#### **Duel to the death**

After ruling as co-Kaiser, the player Retrofuture felt really bored of the server; therefore attempted to start a second German Civil War and leave himself as the only Kaiser. A declaration was made on #diplomacy but the war was not started. Retrofuture needed $5000 to create a new nation and declare war; however he did not have the money required to do so. The solution was a duel to the death hosted in Munich! Both contenders geared up and headed to the battle pit. The result was a victory by Coopergam67; therefore, securing his place as ruler of the Germans. Retrofuture exiled himself, would return to the nation on the 13th of November.

#### **Expansion**

The nation continued to expand and after a deal with Slavia, it traded East Prussia for Berlin. With the acquisition of Berlin, the old town square and its walls were removed. The Berlin walls had fallen.

**Contested Legitimacy**

Recently, the legitimacy of the crumbling Empire has been questioned. With the quick rise of the "New Swabia", a town in Antarctica, claiming to be the true Germany, the legitimacy of the Empire is fading.

Pictured above in this piece of German propaganda is Germany's glorious Kaiser Cooper, Mino and some dude named Luckzo idk.

The nation continues to expand to this day, as it tries to claim all of Germany.

#### **Participation on The First Server World War**

The German Empire, although at first hesitant to join the fight due to a lack of gear sent a division of the Imperial German Army to fight by Alvera's side. The Kaiser himself took part in this expedition and let his troops into battle, achieving many kills. The officer and candidate to the chancellery TANK2264 was awarded the *Pour le Mérite* due to his dedication and bravery on both days of the war.

#### **Wars**

* German Civil war
* The First Server World War
