## History

### Deutschland era (November 2021 - present)

#### Rivalry with SPQR

Since November 2021, Deutschland has been the biggest rival of SPQR, the other great nation in Europe, also controlling pieces of Asia and some lands of the real life Roman Empire. Despite the rising tensions, not many encounters happened, but the romans sieged Lugano (a german town in Switzerland) in late November. Throughout the month of November, the German Empire extended its borders to Switzerland, Poland and even Slovakia.

In 4 December 2021, Poland was created and Wroclaw casually left Deutschland while the town of Dusseldorf in Western Germany officially joined the empire. In the same day, the Kingdom of Bavaria agreed to merge with the condition of keeping its autonomy over the claimed lands. Thus, the Kaiser grantykied established a network of kingdoms within the empire, first naming DrCope as the King of Cornwalls and Cerzius as the King of Bavaria.

In 5 December 2021, the German Army invades Hungary and the Battle of Budapest happens, ending in a strategic victory and a military defeat. Peace is then signed with SPQR, so Laibach is ceded to them and Kazakh is handed to Deutschland.

## Territory organization

In 4 December 2021, the Kaiser grantykied had established a territorial organization based on four kingdoms and two overseas duchies.

**Notes: Bold** means the capital of that kingdom or duchy, *Italic* means the town is not controlled yet claimed as part of the territory and Underline means the town's lands are claimed and managed by another town.

## Political organization

As of 20 December 2021, the Reich has an established system of ministers which help the Kaiser in different tasks:

* **Bundeskanzler Ministry**: helps the other ministers and supervises. Current head: te3t (Feldkirch)
* **Ministry of Foreign Affairs**: helps in relations with other nations and diplomacy. Current head: Held by Kaiser (Leipzig)
* **Ministry of Infrastructure**: helps in improving ways of transport and building. Current head: Tomatoh757 (Linz)
* **Ministry of Propaganda**: helps in advertising the nation through propaganda. Current head: None
* **Ministry of Defense**: helps in preparing the nation for war. Current head: snivyxox99 (Linz)
* **Ministry of Engineering**: helps in tasks related with redstone. Current head: UtahJazz

This is the hierarchy of the Empire:

* ***Kaiser [Emperor]*** - leader of the Empire
* ***Konig [King]*** - leader of one of the kingdoms composing the Empire
* ***Erherzog [Archduke]*** - leader of the dukes and second in command
* ***Herzog [Duke]*** - mayors of the towns
* ***Attentater [Assassin]*** - elite members of the army
* ***Reichsfreiherr [Baron]*** - comayors of the towns and trusted people
* ***Bewohner [Resident]*** - residents of the empire

The emperor, konigs, archduke, dukes and barons are all part of an **Imperial Council** where important decisions are taken. There is also a **Senate** only for the emperor, kings and archduke.

## Army

As of 20 December 2021, the ***Große Armee (Great Army)*** is led by NimbKied, being composed of the following ranks:

* ***General*** - leads the army
* ***Oberst [Colonel]*** - leads the regiments composed of volunteers
* ***Soldner [Soldier]*** - volunteers who fight for the empire

## Infrastructure

*(Outdated map)*

Due to the continuous state of war, the German Council is not focusing on developing the infrastructure, but there are plans to make it a more relevant topic as a good iceroad network would definitely have benefits on the nation. The Line A is complete and the Line B is partially functioning.
