A small country in north-central Europe. Germany as a single country didn't exist during period (see text below). Much of the populace of the Kingdome of Drachenwald lives in Germany.

Occupied since c. 500 B.C. by Germanic tribes, the region became part of the Frankish empire by the sixth century A.D. Later it became a loose federation of principalities and the nucleus of the Holy Roman Empire until the imperial state was broken up by Napoleon in 1806. Germany became a confederation after 1815 and then an empire centered around Prussia (1871-1918).

Currently Berlin is the capital and largest city. Population roughly: 81,410,001.
