INTRODUCTION
The country that I selected for the country report paper was Germany. Since I was last in the country, 45 years ago, many things have changed for Germany. The country was reunified in 1990, became Europe 's economic powerhouse, and is now the most important nation in the European Union. Germany is situated in northern central Europe and covers an area of 137,983 mi². Sharing its borders with nine other European countries, it is positioned in the middle of one of the world 's best access to the Nordic countries and the United Kingdom. The formal name of Germany is now the Federal Republic of Germany The capital of Germany is Berlin which is the largest city in terms of area and one of the most influential centers in European politics and culture. Today, Germany is divided into sixteen States and then the country is further divided into more than 400 districts and cities. The population of Germany is more than 81 million people with the ratio of 49% male and 51% female. Germany has the largest national economy in Europe, the fourth largest by nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in the world, and the fifth largest GDP per person based on purchasing power parity (PPP), and is a founding member of both the European Union and the Eurozone. Germany has a social market economy that combines capitalism with social policies favoring social insurance. Today, Germany 's economy is largely made up of a service sector (around 70 percent of the total GDP), a robust
In 2010 Germany became the 3rd most important countries in exporting goods in the world. some of their most famous are automobiles. germany produces 5.2 million cars a year. These companies consist of companies like Mercedes-Benz and Porsche. Germany make over $1.337 trillion a year. Over 80 percent of Germany’s land is used for agriculture and forestry. In the western, the number of farms decreased dramatically between 1949 and 1997 because of machinery and economic jobs opened up and offered more money. sence Germany's has a very diverse landscape types of produce agriculture will change from region to region. Like in the east of germany, where normally s is flat, plants such as Cereals and Sugar Beets are grown.Fruit orchards and vegetable farms surround almost all large cities. In the south and western part river valleys make great places to grow Rhine.Germany is probably most known for its beer industry. Though it isn't only made in Bavaria it is where most of all the beer is made. Germany is one of the world's biggest producer of agricultural
Germany, a country rich in culture and heritage, yet plagued by the fallout of World War I and World War II, has progressed to become the centerpiece of the European Union and the world’s third richest economy. The first German Empire dates back to the Roman Empire starting in the 8th century AD. During the Middle Ages the German Empire fended off many attacks against their soil from the Hungarians and the Slavs. Fighting and power struggles continued until the 1400’s, when the modern world gradually came into existence with intellectual, economic and political changes.
Germanys background is very unique and very engrossing. With Germany being the third largest country in the European Union, following the Boot, France and finally Spain, Germany has a lot of power. (Countries of the World) Germany also had a history of being divided, which means they are not very united but can make strong comebacks. A little after A.D. 436, Germany was divided and ruled by tribal leaders. Because of this, some of the tribes called themselves holy. By taking
In the years leading up to World War II, Germany was one of the most powerful countries in the world. Though physically small, the country gained power through a unifying force in 1933: the Nazi Party. It did not long for the Nazis, led by Adolf Hitler, to establish control over all of Germany. Before Hitler, the economy was so bad and the citizens were so unhappy that they were desperate for anyone who would improve their situation. Hitler became the perfect candidate when he promised them tax breaks and new social benefits. Of course, Hitler is now considered to be one of the most evil human beings to ever live, setting up concentration camps that starved, abused, and killed an estimated six million Jews.
In this essay I will consider to what extent the German economy has been central to change regarding the development of Germany over the whole period, 1890-1991. I will consider the German economy under the Kaiser in accordance with World War 1, during Hyperinflation under the Weimar Republic in 1923, in Nazi Germany under Hitler and in East and West Germany leading to the building of the Berlin Wall. It appears that the German economy to a large degree has been exceedingly central to change in the country over this entire period. It is evident though that the economy itself has not solely been the derivation of precise events over the course of the period. There have been other ideas and proceedings that must be taken into consideration
Major Historical Changes: Germany has one of the highest economic productivity, technological development, and education in the world.
Germany is a country in Western Europe, they are also wealthiest and most populated country in entire continent. Germany has the large amount of people in western Europe and also has the best economy system there.

The country enjoys a temperate and marine climate. The winters are cool, cloudy, and wet (31°F - 38°F) and the summers, while warmer, are also cloudy and wet (54°F - 77°F).
Germany greatly benefits from its location, in the fore-front of central Europe. It holds control of all European countries, strategically, and has access to parts of Africa, and Asia, not commonly enjoyed by other countries. Germans are possess a youth and
World War II caused many problems for Germany. Since the war, Germany has had to rebuild and clean up many towns. Germany did many tasks after the war to help with the war effort. Many citizens loved ones died causing many grievances within the country. The people of Germany all want to reconstruct there country because it is in ruins.

Throughout recent history, the United States is one of the most powerful nations on earth. We are constantly trying to maintain that number one position. To enable us to maintain our status we as a country and as a people must always know our competitors. The Federal Republic of Germany is one of those competitors. The best way we can know our competition is by analyzing the German politics, economy, and military. Germany is a country in northern central Europe. It is one of Europe’s largest countries, with various terrains. Germany has a large urbanized areas along the west, icy coastlines in the north, the world famous Alps in the south, and vast expanses of agriculture and rivers in the east. The capital of this beautiful
The transportation system is well structured and railways are connected with a network of ports and delivery points all over Europe. Besides having excellent transport the country is in the forefront in telecommunications infrastructure. Germany not for nothing took first place for infrastructure in the World Economic Forum‘s (WEF) Global Competitiveness Report 2008.
GDP per capita is also an important indicator of economic health. GDP per capita takes the total output of a country and divides it by the number of people in a countries population; this indicated the buying power of individuals. GDP per capita in Germany as reported for 2014 was slightly over 47,000 USD (“Countries with the largest”, n.d.). Looking at GDP per capita when compared to other countries in the Eurozone Germany is not fairing so well. Luxembourg leads the world wide GDP per capita and that of the Eurozone with a high rate of 116,750 USD (“Countries with the largest”, n.d.). Worldwide Germany ranks 16th in the Eurozone, Germany was beat out by Austria, Finland, Ireland, Luxembourg and the Netherlands in GDP per capita (“Countries with the largest”, n.d.). While the GDP per capita rate in Germany is stronger than many other countries it is not competitive with other countries which have economies comparable in size to Germany nor economies centrally located in the Eurozone.
As it began, our century drew to a close, with Germany once again the economic powerhouse and political hub of Europe. What is remarkable is how quickly this happened, how unbidden and unanticipated: the toppling of the Berlin Wall in November 1989; the reunification a year later; the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War in late December 1991; a resurgent impetus to West European integration in 1992; and NATO enlargement, which was consecrated in April 1999. Unquestionably, this chain of events has profoundly affected Germany’s situation over the past decades. For the first time since the establishment of the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) in 1949 and the painstaking process of
