Germany.



Germany is a federal parliamentary republic in western-central Europe. The country consists of 16 states, and its capital and largest city is Berlin. Germany is the most powerful country in politics and economy of the European continent. Strictly speaking, Germany did not exist as a state until 1871.The history of Germany as a country begins in 1871 at the inception of the German Empire. Previously, what we know as Germany was a group of states of the Holy Roman Germanic Empire. The Chancellor of this republic is Angela Merkel since 2005, and the president, Joachim Gauck since 2012.




German classical music is very important. Some of the world's most well-known composers are or were from Germany, including Ludwig van Beethoven, Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johannes Brahms, Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss.

Recognised native minority languages in Germany are Danish, Low German, Sorbian, Romany, and Frisian.



German cuisine is also very important. The most important german products are the sausages and the beer.



Twenty-seven million Germans are members of a sports club and an additional twelve million pursue sports individually. Germany is one of the leading motor sports countries in the world.

 Constructors like BMW and Mercedes are prominent manufacturers in motor sport.  

The Bundesliga, the top league of German football, is the most popular sports league in Germany.

GERMANY


Germany is a country of Europe whose inhabitants are called Germans. The language they speak is German. 
This country consists of 16 states, and its capital and largest city is Berlin. Another important city in this country is Frankfurt.
Germany covers an area of 357,021 square kilometres and has a largely temperate seasonal climate.
With 81.8 million inhabitants, it is the most populous member state in the European Union. 
Its currency is the Euro (€).
Germany is a federal parliamentary republic, and federal legislative power in vested in the Bundestag (the parliament of Germany) and the Bundesrat (the representative body of Germany's regional states).
Germany's most famous people are: Albert Einstein, Beethoven, Anne Frank, Martin Luther, Pope Benedict and Karl Marx. 
Some German dishes are:
 - Fried potatoes, often with diced bacon and/or onions.
 - Sausage that is usually composed of veal, pork or beef. Basically a traditional German sausage. Not to be confused with curry wurst. 
  
                 
Finally, I would like to visit this country so I could see different customs, people, and learn the language.

Germany


-Germany has borders with Poland, Czech republic, Austria, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Netherlands and Denmark.

-Germany is a federal republic whose capital is Berlin. Its population is 82 million inhabitants. Its currency is the Euro and this country is the world's third largest economy. Its official language is German and, if you are born there you are a German, and you must love beer.

-After the Second World War, Germany was divided into the democratic West and the communist East. The Berlin Wall became the symbol of this division. It fell in 1989 and Germany was reunited a year later.





-The English word "Germany" derives from the Greek term Germania. The name "Germania" came into use after Julius Caesar adopted it from a Gallic term for the peoples east of the Rhine that could possibly have meant "neighbour", or "men of forests".


-There are so many famous German people:

-Bruce Willis

-Claudia Shiffer

-L.V. Beethoven
