German Empire

The **German Democratic Republic**, **GDR**, commonly referred to as **East Germany**, was a shot-lived nation in Central Europe lead by Harpy, former commissioner of New Chicago and North Crimea. Much of the nation was claimed by the city of Berlin, and the nation borders the Galactic Republic and the German Empire. While claiming to be completely independent, the nation was seen by many as a Puppet State of the Soviet Union, as it was a part of the International Politburo, the Comecon, and planned writing a long term military alliance with the Soviets, which would've include building a Soviet Military Base in Berlin and a mutual defense treaty.

On May 30th, 2020, the nation had been under occupation from Solaris. The Soviet Union sees this occupation as illegal. Construction on the military base was intended on continuing, however, Harpy requested that the Soviets halt construction. However, Harpy then made Berlin join the Galactic Republic.

## History

### Formation

Harpy, who was Commissioner of New Chicago and North Crimea, wanted to create a German town to expand the influence of the Soviet Union. After agreeing to tight demands to stay closely allied to the USSR, Berlin entered a short period of Soviet Occupation before authority was transferred over to the German Workers' Party who then established the German Democratic Republic.

### The founding of Darklordism

On the same day the nation was founded, Harpy, with some help from Pip, established the state religion - Darklordism, an ironic worship of Darklord1980, a long time adversary of the Soviet Union and her interests. After holding mass in Rocket City and being killed by Darklord1980 multiple times, the religion was permitted in the USSR and made mandatory in the GDR.

That same day, xXDatMasterXx and Zimoc joined the nation and a Mob Spawner was built in Berlin.

### Solaris Takeover

Vohki, leader of Solaris, was able to convince Harpy to abandon the Soviets and join Solaris. Thus, the nation was dissolved

## Relations

### **Soviet Union**

The Soviet Union was by far the closet ally of the GDR. In fact, the international community had argued that the GDR is a Puppet or Satellite State of the Soviet Union, propped up to curb the influence of the Galactic Republic in Central Europe.

### **Italy**

As Italy is another Socialist Republic, they were closely allied with the GDR, and would've joined a mutual defense treaty with them and the Soviets.

### **German Empire**

As soon as both German States were founded, a Non-Aggression Pact was signed, labeling the lands that both nations could claim. The border between the 2 was the IRL West/East German borders. They were also allied.

### **Galactic Republic**

While not at war, the relations between the Galactic Republic and the GDR are not very positive, especially because of the religious persecution by Darklord1980, although Harpy's betrayal of his Soviet allies in favor of the Galactic Republic has seen a shift in their relations.

## Culture

### Religion

While the real life GDR was an Atheist State, the GDR mandated all citizens practice Darklordism, which is the ironic worship of Darklord1980. A church was supposed be built in Berlin for citizens to practice the religion.

### Politics

The politics of the GDR were very similar to the Soviet system. All citizens were required to join the German Workers' Party, although every citizen was either neutral or supported the party.
