Germany is a nation of 81.8 million people which makes it the most populous member of the EU. Germany has one of the strongest economies with the fourth largest nominal GDP, second most exports and third most imports in the world. It is a country with a long history starting with independent Germanic tribes which became organized within the Holy Roman Empire and eventually lead to the German Empire. After being, perhaps unfairly, made to account for WWI Germany’s history was marred by the dictatorship of Hitler. The division of Germany at the end of WWII had enormous effects on the country. Now, as a reunified state, Germany is a leader in environmental initiatives, an active participant in development funding and partnership and has a cosmopolitan society with strong protection of the rights of both sexes, the disabled and homosexuals. Germany consists of 16 states but can be geographically divided into Northern, Western, Central, Eastern and Southern Germany.

Northern Germany borders on the North and Baltic Seas which holds many resorts and tourist destinations who come for the beaches, rolling hills and windswept countryside. Northern Germany became Protestant during the Reformation and as a result holds much in common with the Baltic countries. Hamburg, Germany’s most wealthy city and second largest, is the transportation and cultural center of the North. The countryside is largely farmland, particularly dairy, and in the more remote areas the Low German dialect is still spoken.

Western Germany is best known for the Rhine Valley. Along the Rhine there are more castles than any other river in the world and are very popular destinations for tourists. The area is also renowned for its particular beauty, dotted with cities and charming towns and lush green countryside. Parts of Western Germany are also known for their wineries.

Central Germany holds Frankfurt which is the major financial center of the country along with many cities of historic importance. It is a region known for its many industries but also for its developed culture. Germany’s greatest poet Goethe was born in Frankfurt. Here there is also the Thuringian Forest known as “Germany’s green heartland”.

Eastern Germany has a distinctly different feeling from the rest of Germany (though that is changing with time) as it was once the “Deutsche Demokratische Republik” a communist state under the influence of Soviet Russia. The major city here is Berlin, Germany’s capital, an eclectic and diverse city which was itself divided by the infamous Berlin Wall. There is also the rebuilt city of Dresden which is referred to as “Florence on the Elbe”.

Southern Germany is incredible picturesque and has many of the landscapes and culture that foreigners often associate with Germany. Here there is the Black Forest, the Alps and the Danube and it is in Southern Germany that people wore Lederhosen and celebrated Oktoberfest. Now it is also the site of many technological industries and is famous for their beers.
