## History

### The Confederation of the Rhine

Before Germany existed as an independent state itself, it was split in 2 main nations under the CEE: The Free State of Saxony and the Confederation of the Rhine. Both were established on the 9th of March 2021. The Confederation of the Rhine consisted of the modern day states of Niedersachsen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Rheinland-Pfalz, Saarland, Hessen, Bremen and parts of Schleswig Holstein. The Free State of Saxony was made up of the modern day states of Sachsen, Thüringen, Sachsen-Anhalt, Brandenburg, Berlin, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and parts of Schleswig-Holstein.

### Founding

Suddenly on the 20th of March 2021, Intaerna announced his future departure from AE, thus disbanding the Free State of Saxony entirely, leaving East Germany empty. One day later, Emmettaaron decided to unite Germany under one state. This saw an influx of people moving to Germany. Most notably the disbanding of Galicia whose people moved to Germany to create towns there.

### Post Release
