The most populous country in central Europe, Germany was divided into two separate states from 1949 until 1990 when the GDR (East Germany) was absorbed into the FRG (West Germany). Germany is an industrial giant and has the largest economy in Europe.

-Federal Republic of Germany (Bundesrepublik Deutschland)82,000,000 inh.
-capital:
Berlin (3.3 millions)
-major cities:
Hamburg (1.8)
Munich/München (1.2)
Cologne/Köln (1.0)
Frankfurt (0.7)
Essen (0.7)
-languages spoken: german, frisian, sorbian
-religions: evangelic (42%), catholic (35%), muslim (5%), and others
americans usually mistake germans (inh. of germany)for car constructors wearing leather shorts. In fact, leather shorts are not at all popular in most parts of the country and car construction is not part of the general education plan. Only few folks in Bavaria (state in the country's deep south, capital Munich) still wear leather shorts, but mostly as an attraction for American and Japanese tourists. Wearing leather shorts in northern cites like Hamburg, you may find yourself beaten up or at least laughed at, so beware! Germany is also well known for beer ("Beck's" from Bremen in the very north, "Löwenbräu" from Munich, "Holsten" from Hamburg...) great authors and soccer. (Fussball).

Great cars, great beer, great guns (Heckler und Koch ring a bell?) Great ally of the United States. Defeated in two world wars, but due to a few mistakes. Was divided in half, with Berlin (which was in East Germany) also divided in half. Used to be Nazi Germany, before that the Weimar Republic, before that the German Empire, before that the Holy Roman Empire, before that the German Confederation... etc.

Germany is a beautiful country full of people who respect each other and are still repenting for the holocaust 60 years after it ended. Germans would never even dream of saying that they are proud of being German, because their sense of pride and identity was trashed by some freak from Austria a long time ago. The holocaust wasn't the fault of the general population, and Germans have only recently started assuming a kind of national identity again, listening to bands singing in German, enjoying German movies and taking pride in German food, culture, landscapes, tolerance and openness. Germany deserves respect- it has had to suffer long enough.
I'm German-American living in Munich, so I know what I'm talking about, in case you were wondering. Germany is fantastic.
