The New Germanic Empire, Empire or NGE is an imperialist nation made up of its original nations (Austria and Hungary) and its recently conquered ones (Czechoslovakia, Slovenija, Serbia and Bulgaria) and its partially conquered territories that were gained during the final wars of Jonas Boehm (the eastern half of Croatia and the western half of Romania). Its capitol city is Vienna located in the Austrian Province, it has a population of just over 61 million and is a leading developer of military technologies.
History
Before the Austro-Hungarian Confederation
The rejoining of the 2 nations took 39 years from the dissolution of Austria-Hungary in 1918. After WW2 both countries faced very different fates while Austria was devised into separate zones by the Allies, Hungary was completely occupied by the Soviet Union. Austria eventually earned its independence in 1955 and declared complete neutrality until its parliament was usurped by Jonas Boehm (aged 34), who was an anti-communist revolutionary, in April 1956. just 6 months later in October 1956 the general populace of Hungary revolted against the Soviet rule.
The Soviet Union responded by massing a large army and invading Hungary on the 4th of November, Austria responded by Invading on the 5th of November with a large portion of the Austrian army and a few militia forces. The fighting was along a bloody and violent stalemate line right down the center of the country. After a month of fighting and only a small amount of ground being surrendered by the Austro-Hungarians, the USSR's forces were being worn down and every day the casualty ratio of the freedom fighters to soviet troops swung more in the freedom fighters favour.
On the 3rd of January 1957 the soviet union pulled out, battered by frontline fighting with the Austrians and worn down by the Guerrilla tactics of the Hungarians. The Austrian troops retook the rest of the country and began repairing the damage done by the USSR, however it was no easy task and it took them until June to establish a stable government. After Hungary was back in working order Jonas proposed a union with them to show the solidarity of the two countries against those that would attempt to control them, Hungarys priminister agreed to the proposal and so began the Austro-Hungarian Confederation.
The Austro-Hungarian Confederation
When the Austro-Hungarian Confederation was formed both Jonas and the Hungarian Priminister (Imre Nagy) wanted to keep some Soviet aspects within the Hungarian system, of course this did not go down well with Jonas and on the 29th of December Imre went missing. It is unknown what happened to him but in the end Jonas blamed the Soviets and the Soviets blamed Jonas.
The new Hungarian Priminister was more geared towards Jonas's objectives and used the disappearance of Imre as the reason for an invasion of Czechoslovakia. First they went north in 1959 and conquered Czechoslovakia after a year long war, they divided it between Austria and Hungary and the two once small countries were developing into major european powers with their now more powerful economies. Then Jonas wanted to make another aggressive push this time to break up Yugoslavia and conquer however he faced strong political and public opposition and was forced to conserve himself.
Within the ten or so years he spent in the country watching the Confederation grow in power he grew both proud of the nation he had made and bitter of its inactivity but in 1971 he saw an opportunity to break Yugoslavia as it entered a economic crisis. He went back to the Hungarian Parliament with his body guards (who would later become the basis for the New Germanic Empires Army) and demanded that they take this chance, they refused and so Jonas had them shot. First he Pushed into Slovenia to test Yugoslavia, their response was minimal and weak, so he pushed into Serbia and annexed it.
Then he raided Yugoslavia's borders and broke the armed forces down but his troops were weary from such constant activity and so he was forced to stop and sign the Treaty of Belgrade in 1973 which detailed the dissolution of Yugoslavia into smaller states and the transfer of Slovenia and Serbia into Confederate hands. He soon set his eyes on Bulgaria when one of his military advisers commented on the lack of a Austro-Hungarian navy, he saw it as the perfect place to establish fleet production lines.
1975 saw the Invasion of Bulgaria and a war so quickly won due to the new Austrian StG 74 assualt rifle, it was won in just in just under two months, the day that Sofia was secured and the Austrian and Hungarian flags flew above the capitol became a national holiday called Sieg in Sofia Tag (Victory in Sofia day in German). The next four and a half years saw the production of a large and powerful fleet that would gain Jonas even more of a reputation as a man not to be taken lightly.
Unfortunately after this expansion serious threats came from a heavily nuclear armed Soviet Russia that stopped Jonas in his tracks. He again retreated to the country and stayed there thinking that his glory days were now truely over. In the eleven and a half years there he wrote a book called "Mein Traum" (my dream) in which he detailed what he had hoped for and what he had achieved, it was banned in the Soviet Union and Warsaw pact countries as it contained anti-communist writings. It became an instant best seller in Austria, Czechoslovakia and Hungary however while it sold well it did not get the reception it had in Austria in the new territories of Sovenija, Serbia and Bulgaria.
However it was not the end for Jonas in 1991 the soviet union fell apart and so now at the venerable age of 71 he started up his new four stage plan: the first stage was to aqquire designs for a nuclear missile from the US or from the reforming Russia, this stage was completed apparently with sucess due to the presence of nuclear weapons in the New Germanic Empire. The second stage was to conquer Romania and Croatia then Greece, this was as far as the plan got for while inspecting the Romanian front on 30th of March 1994 Jonas was assasinated along with his body guards. The third and fourth stage remain a mystery to everyone except the leaders of the New Germanic Empire, conspiracy theorists beleive that the four stage plan was destroyed but there are those that think it is still being followed through.
New Germanic Empire (1994 - 2003)
It was widely considered that Jonas had no offspring but it turned out that he did and that many of them were now his leaders of the Army or Businesses. There were at least 11 candidates for the seat of the leader of the Austro-Hungarian Confederation but on the 1st of April all but one died and he (Lukas Hoffmann) admitted it was he who had caused this to happen. He said that it was because he knew them all too well and knew what they would have done, he said that he was the only one who had seen through their fathers brain washing, with a quote from one of his speeches "do not see me as the lesser of eleven evils, but as the greater of eleven goods!" that was to inspire public support at that time, as the countries had split into political factions each supporting one of the now dead leaders.
Recent studies show that the behavioral patterns of his siblings had displayed symptoms of many sorts of mental conditions but mainly Megalomania, this though did not excuse him from this list and he too had displayed small signs but none serious enough to cause a full on effect. He quickly took the throne and combine the countries of the Confederacy into one new nation, the Germanic Empire, which his father had described in Mein Traum as the modern recreation of Austria-Hungary. He was quickly accepted by a majority of the people and he made many reforms which were put together and executed on 18 May 1994, the day which the New Germanic Empire is considered to be formed on. The reforms were on the bias laws, aggressive conscription policies, the unstable economy, flawed defence plan and the needs of citizenship. Even though it was now a much more free and equal country it was still a dictatorship, there were many mixed reactions world wide but some heralded it as a fine example of a benevolent dictatorship.
Next Lukas stopped the wars against Croatia and Romania and the new borders were drawn upon the front-lines with a few advances by the Empire being surrendered. He then made everyone within the Empire a citizen. Afterwards he gathered up all the old currencies for reprocessing keeping count of how much each person had given in, then reprinted and distributed the Neuemark in proportion to how much people had given in. He also gave everyone within the military the chance to resign though about 63% didn't, modernized the countries technology, including its military technology but also its medical technology. These all happened within two years but the actual time it took for the Empire to settle into its new boots was 9 years. In 2003 the final reforms (dealing with laws and defence) had finally been fully executed. Within the 9 years they remained in isolation so to deal with their problems before they began looking outside at other nations.
Modern Age (2003 - 2010)
These were years of silence mainly with the country just showing signs of political interest or military caution. The main problem of these years has been dealing with their debt which they amounted building a powerful industry, while most of these debts have been paid off there are still those that remain however after the almost complete collapse of the US, they feel that debt should be paid to either one or all of the new american nations however a meeting let alone a deal has not been signed. While the amounted savings during the years in which the US has been gone are large enough to pay the debt back in one go, the interest on the contract is still increasing.
Government
Brief
Ever since the formation of the New Germanic Empire, it has been no secret that the country is ruled by a type of despotism, though of course there are people who deal with the general tasks that would amount to too much for one man in one day. The government is spilt into the Upper Tier and Lower Tier. The Upper Tier government officials are selected generally from the previous years Lower Tier officials (though this isn't always the case) by Lukas himself, they are the leaders and commanders that execute Lukas's will and delegate responsibilitys to the Lower Tier. The Lower Tier government officials are elected by the people and are all normally part of a certain political party, the more places a party holds the more it can influence the national agenda as with all governments, while the most powerful partys of this time follow Lukas's veiw in life he could stop any operation that he does not agree with if he wishes so. Elections are held on the same day as the formation of the New Germanic Empire, 18 May, and elections are yearly although campaigning may take place only within April and May.

Economy
Brief
The New Germanic Empire is a growing economic power, however the way it used loans to gain that power in the first place has left it in serious debt. The Empire boasts one of the most powerful manufacturing industries in the world, utilizing massive production lines that can produce weapons, vehicles, equipments and goods in a staggeringly short amount of time. These production lines are also what gives the NGE a high percentage of its GDP. While production line companies end up very rich, in times of need they are required to take orders from the government and halt all production of other items in the meantime, which can cause the company serious problems. The country works via a mixed economy and this has proven more prosperous than the original planned economy used in the Confederation. It favours a free market system and the state owns very little though can take economic control of any company within the country.
Trade
The NGE is known to be one of the worlds biggest exporter of weapons, selling low grade militia firearms to high grade rocket launchers, this has been looked upon differently by many countries. Imports are quite low as only the needed rescources are brought into the country, exports however are extremely high and vary from simple goods to recent technologies. The country still however lacks the trade it needs to bolster its economy however this is due to its isolational approach to foreign affairs, which seems to be changing very rapidly. The country has its most imports in agriculture and least imports in technology, while having the most exports in weapons and the least in agriculture.
Currency
The Neuemark is quite a powerful and unique currency, it keeps its value above the American Dollar and the Euro, one Neuemark is currently worth $1.37. The Neuemark started on the market in a very high value however lost value slowly over the years, many feared the new currency would soon plummet but around 2009 it secured its worth after a government campaign that reorganised areas of the economy to stablize the currency, since then it has retained a value of about $1.37. another interesting fact about the currency is that it is a completely paper currency, there are no coins just half size notes for the Neuepfennig of which 100 make a Neuemark.
Culture
Brief
The New Germanic Empire is now 61 million people strong with 92% being able to speak the official language of german. The Empire also remains quite a religious state with only 3% of its popuation being athiests and 71 % being Protestant Christian. the NGE also has a reputation for its harsh punishment of criminals especially those with a life sentence. Rights are very free within the country however the amount of freedom means that people can use their freedom of speech to be racist though there are no laws against racism the way laws are arranged stop serious offences from going unpunished.
Law
The tight legal system an harsh punishment of the Empire makes it the country with the lowest amount of repeat offenders and one of the countrys with one of the largest and steadiest reduction in crime since 2000. Laws within the Empire work on a system of freedoms with the major one being the Freedom to Live, with others being things such as the Freedom of Speech, the Freedom to Trade and the Freedom of Pay. Punishments work on removing the freedom of the offender that they violated and can include extra punishments if the judges see fit. Also the court system works quite differently, as in each case there are 3 judges present: a supreme judge (who controls and regulates the court), a court judge (who acts as a second to the supreme judge and seconds the supreme judges desicions) and an apprentice judge (they learn how to be a judge and record what goes on for later review). The New Germanic Empire also has no laws that apply specifically to one sex or race and have the Freedom of Equality which demands that no special treatment is given to any one person no matter their sex or race while this annoys some who beleive sexism and racism are a major problem within the NGE, the majority of the population favours this law over what other countrys have put in place.

Technology
Brief
The NGE is famed for its technological advancements in warfare due to its invention of many new firing mechanisms and chemical along with biological weapons but mainly the electrical projectile, many of these weapons are listed as immoral by other countries but the NGE assures that they are developed to a level where control is complete and the weapons are only effective for a short ammount of time. However a slightly less well known side of Empire technology is their medical and environmental technology, which includes the invention a special laser that can effectively treat radiation poisoning and cancer (if the patient is within a recoverable state) and cures for all biological weapons within the NGE arsenal (these cures have been used to effectively treat other deseases too). The NGE also uses other new technologys such as hydrogen fuel cells, defence lasers and EMP devices.
Social Technology
The NGE doesn't have a large amount of public technology not because of restriction but because of the heavy opposition to the development of NGE society into one such as the UK or Everett (which are considered to be highly dependent on technology). Despite this the technology within the society is advanced with hydrogen fuel cell powered cars, free to use computers situated within nearly every town and city and other items that help with day to day tasks. One however key difference within NGE society and its technological conterparts, is that while it is capable of producing LAI drones they are completely banned as many officials beleive humans are superior to robots within economic and military positions and look at drone military nations with strong disaproval. However LAI is used within the NGE to control and operate systems to help speed up processes.
Space Program
While the Confederation was never present in the space race of the cold war, it was developing space flight technologies however its late development is reflected in the fact that they have only recently sent a man into space (on 19th May 2009 in the J3-class Rocket to celebrate Imperial Unity Week). There are three more space projects planned for the future (two in late 2011 and one in early 2012) and 18 new NGE defence satellites will be going up to provide a worldwide defence system for the Empire and its allies.
Military
Brief
The Kaiserlichen Wehrmacht (Imperial Defence Force) or armed forces of the New Germanic Empire is split into 3 different branches: The Kaiserlichen Heer (Imperial Army), Kaiserliche Marine (Imperial Navy) and Kaiserlichen Luftwaffe (Imperial Air Force). These are then split into their own branches: The first of the Heer's branches is the Kaiserlichen Sturmtruppen Korps (Imperial Assualt Troopers Corps), this branch represents the standing army of the Empire and includes infantry, armour and artillary; The second is the Kaiserlichen Fallschirmjägerkorps (Imperial Paratrooper Corps), This branch is the NGE equivalent of the SAS though more numerous the standard of skill is roughly the same. The Marine's branches are the Kaiserliche Marine Korps (Imperial Naval Corps), which is the ordinary navy the fleets and ships. Kaiserlichen Marinesoldaten Korps (Imperial Marine Corps), which acts as a naval assualt force specifically for fighting at sea or from a naval base. The Luftwaffe is not split into any branches and remains a primarily air combat and support force. Anyone may sign up for service with the Wehrmacht but even the lowest standards are hard to acheive and can require years of training which is why even though there are more applicants than most other countries very few people make it through. The Wehrmacht now consists of more than a million soldiers.
Chain of Command
The chain of command within the Wehrmacht is simular to other nations, Lukas rules with ultimate control over the whole of the armed forces; he has a Warmaster (currently Otto Hartmann) who also has supreme control over the whole of the armed forces but can be overidden by Lukas ; the Warmaster then commands the General of the Land (currently Barrett Faust), Admiral of the Sea (currently Maximilian Wolf) and Marshall of the Air (currently Henry Eisenburg) however each of these holds supreme command over their individual branches of the armed forces; then command breaks down into the field army commanders then into corp commanders then into division commanders and so on. The Warmaster, General of the Land, Admiral of the Sea and Marshall of the Air are all ranks within the army and seats within the government, the occupants of these positions are chosen personally by Lukas himself.
Uniform and Equipment
The different branches have different uniforms and equipment that make them distiguishable from other military forces and branches and give them advantages that further their ability beyond many neighboring nations military ability.
The Sturmtruppen wear Feldgrau camoflage in a New Flecktarn pattern but can change for environmental New Flecktarn camoflage, they also wear the new F.S.V.P. (Fexible Steel Plate Defence Pad) infantry armour, the Stahlhelm M04 helmet and the Kampfmaske M21 infantry face mask, the current service rifle is the S-StG 11 assualt rifle and standard side arm is a S-MP 2 automatic pistol; they also equip the Hochexplosive Stielhandgranate grenade (along with many grenade variants) and the KASK specialized short sword.
The Fallschirmjäger wear Feldgrau camoflage in a New Splittermus pattern but will often change for environmental New Splittermus camoflage, they wear the new F.S.V.P. para armour, the Fallschirmhelm M07 helmet and the Fallschirmmaske M24 para face mask, the Fallschirmjäger use a specialized S-FG 13 para assualt rifle and the standard side arm is a S-MP 32 submachine gun; they also equip the Hochexplosive Stielhandgranate grenade (along with many grenade variants) and the KASK specialized short sword. Please note that this is only the standard equipment of the Fallschirmjäger, in their units they are given many freedoms to swap or modify equipment to their liking, for instance many Fallschirmjäger equip small blades or weapons due to the large amount of stealth missions they are sent on.
The sailors of the Marine (Naval Corps) wear a Prussian Blue Shirt and white overalls and have no alternate uniforms except a winter uniform (which contains extra layers of a insulation), they have the F.S.V.P. light armour (for combat situations only) in a Prussian Blue New Flecktarn pattern, they wear a Arbeithelm M02 and a Kleinemaske M17 light face mask, they carry a single side arm which is the S-MP 2M naval automatic pistol; they are also equipped with a non-lethal Gas Stielhandgranate grenade (along with other non-lethal variants) and the KAK combat knife. When on duty sailors only wear their uniform, their naval cap, their S-MP 2M and KAK combat knife.
The Marinesoldaten (Marine Corps) wear Prussian Blue camoflage in a New Flecktarn pattern but will change for environmental New Flecktarn camoflage, they wear the F.S.V.P. infantry armour, the Stahlhelm M04 and the Kampfmaske M21 infantry face mask, the current naval service rifle is the S-StG 11M naval assualt rifle and standard naval side arm is the S-MP 2M naval automatic pistol; they also equip the Hochexplosive Stielhandgrenate grenade (along with many variants) and the KASK specialized short sword. The marines clothing has multiple air pouches to stop them from drowning should they fall into deep water.
The Luftwaffe wear a Cool Gray pilots jump suit in a New Splittermus pattern and with an ash gray standard uniform, they wear the F.S.V.P. light armour, they wear a Pilotenhelm M17 pilots helmet with an intergrated Pilotenmaske M12 pilots face mask, they carry a single side arm which is the S-MP 2 automatic pistol; they are also equipped with long lasting flares for emergency situations and a KAK combat knife. The Luftwaffe pilots helmet has a aircraft integration system allowing the pilot to fly more accurately and safely.
