North German Confederation

The North German Confederation is a major Germanic nation located in central Europe. It has a population of about 48 million, and exists as a remnant of a failed attempt by Prussia to unify the German peoples, which was halted by France in 1898. The nation is renowned for its extreme militarism and strength that was rapidly built up after being defeated by France. Most German politics revolve around unification with the South and hatred towards France for their loss against them. The nation maintains close ties with the United Kingdom, and has had such a relationship since the Coalition Wars of the French Revolution. The country also has a large economy, along with a major Polish minority.
