West Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany ( FRG ), is a Technocratic Authright nation located in Western Europe, It currently spans an area of 270,348km², between the North Sea on the Northern Coast and the Alpine Region in the South. The state was established by The United States, The United Kingdom, and France on May 23rd 1949 from their three respective occupation zones to act as a bulwark against communist expansion, and for eventual reunification at a later point in time.

Three southwestern states of West Germany merged to form Baden-Württemberg in 1952 and the Saarland joined the FRG in 1957. In addition to the resulting ten states, West Berlin was considered a *de facto* eleventh state. While legally not part of the FRG as Berlin was under the control of the Allied Control Council, West Berlin politically aligned itself with West Germany and was directly or indirectly represented in its federal institutions. The foundation for the influential position held by Germany today was laid during the economic miracle of the 1950s (*Wirtschaftswunder*) when West Germany rose from the enormous destruction brought by World War II to become the world's third-largest economy. The first chancellor Konrad Adenauer, who remained in office until 1963, worked for a full alignment with NATO rather than maintaining neutrality, and secured membership in the military alliance in 1955.

Following the collapse of the United States and NATO itself in ( TBA, NEED DATE ) and subsequent Soviet Expansion, West Germany attempted to maintain its current status in Europe, and as communism slowly spread around the world, West Germany began a policy of local intervention. The state occupied Luxemburg and Elsaß-Lothringen in 1990 following a series of attacks on German citizens by members of the Red Army Faction based in the region, and the failure of joint French-German cooperation to resolve the crisis.

Following the Inner-German War in 1994, in which a smaller but technologically superior West German army managed to fend off the majority of an East German invasion, the relations between the two states are tense, as both states officially recognise the other as illegitimate, and a state of war still technically exists between the two sides, however the two sides have agreed to limited cooperation and travel to the other.

Currently, The West German government is held in majority by the Vorauspartei ( ENG: Advance Party ), a Technocratic Party which came to power following the observation of how technology saved the West, places a great emphasis on science to stop the Authleft, and focuses on the advancement of the state through technology by any means. As a result, German technology in both military and civilian capacities are at the bleeding edge, greatly enhancing all aspects of West German life and protection. However, religion and traditional practices has mostly died out in the nation, and while the government tolerates some religious beliefs ( Some religions are banned and suppressed entirely ) it does not tolerate its use in any state of power barring religious institutions, as the government actively enforces secularism in places it deems to not require religion.
