Appearance
 Male version :

They are usually depicted as wearing professional clothes like a white dress shirt with a pudgy red tie, black straight pants, and glasses or in firefighter clothing. They're also represented with a military suit of commanders of  Prussia.

 Female version :

Almost like their male counterpart, Female Germany usually wears a formal white shirt with a collar and red tie black as well as straps tied to their black skirt, the sleeves are usually long but they flex to be at their elbows.

Personality
Germany is a friendly person mostly, but they're difficult to handle most of the time. They believe that respecting appointments is out of respect for the person's self they're waiting for, they care about time a lot, yet they allocate a lot of it to entertainment and humor; just as football plays an important role in their lives; they're one of the countries most known for the extent to which their people frequently attend matches, on the other hand, they love their work; they take it seriously and are devoted to it; as their global progress in the scientific; technical; medical; economic; and other fields didn't come from pure chance. They're also very passionate and hardworking.

They're so honest in talking and dealing in various matters and they expect others to be honest with them too. They thank for any service/help that's provided to them even if it's something small that isn't worthy of it, they always address everyone with respect; and respect the beliefs and ideas of others as long as they don't aim to harm others/oneself in any way.

Just like their people in general; they don't go overboard in wealth; rather prefer to wear clothes that don't reflect their financial situation

They love pets; especially cats and dogs; they take care of them well; even some of their own people consider their pet/pets as their own child/children. They also love to travel around; to learn and aspire to know the other and everything new and weird, and they love to eat (fried) sausage; as there are more than 600 types of sausage on German lands.

They're determined to fight climate change, as they want to protect the planet with the power of bikes and recycling, they also shut down their nuclear power station (but they still buy electricity for their neighbors).

One of the negative traits they have is that they're rarely generous; they do respect others; laugh with some of them; and even befriend them; but it's not the same when it comes to material matters; it applies to their family members as well; for example; if they went to a restaurant with one of their acquaintances /friends/family members, they would only pay for their meal and wouldn't ask the other/s whether they have money or not. Plus the fact that they don't like to talk about their personal stuff; yet they sometimes ask others about theirs.

They're distinguished by their economic and political power; their ability to influence on other people, and the adherence to the word of distinction and mastery of it. However; behind this mask; which makes them appear to be enjoying their lives well; there's that old complex with the atrocities they've committed in the past; it's still an emotional impediment for them; they still can't get over it and move on, which causes them psychological distress in most cases; as their people are known to be the most depressed in Europe.

Interests

 * They love work but also love drinking beer, eating sausages (they have several sorts of differents sausages) and pretzels in general.
 * They also love ice hockey, football, basketball, and handball. They're really proud of their zeppelins.

Flag meaning

Germans associate the colors of the modern flag with freedom and unity since they were adopted by the first attempt in the united German republic. In the Weimar Republic, following the First World War, the colors black, red, and gold represented the colors of the centrist, republican and democratic political parties. which had formed a coalition to avoid ascension to power by war-mongering or pacifist extremists.

Others symbols

Etymology
The English word Germany derives from the Latin Germania, which came into use after Julius Caesar adopted it for the peoples east of the Rhine. The German term Deutschland, originally deutschland ("the German lands") is derived from Deutsch (compare Dutch), descended from Old High German deutsch "popular" (i.e. belonging to the diot or diota "people"), originally used to distinguish the language of the common people from Latin and its Romance descendants. This, in turn, descends from Proto-Germanic *þiudiskaz "popular" (see also the Latinised form Theodiscus), derived from *þeudō, descended from Proto-Indo-European *tewtéh₂- "people", from which the word Teutons also originates.

Origin of languages
German belongs to the West Germanic group of the Indo-European language family, along with English, Frisian, and Dutch (Netherlandic, Flemish). The recorded history of Germanic languages begins with their speakers' first contact with the Romans, in the 1st century BCE.

History
'''This Part Of The Article Includes Controversial Themes Within It! If this kind of thing offends you, it is highly recommended you skip this part!'''

Germany started as a group of tribes in a place called Germania. This name was given to the area by the Roman Empire.

These tribes developed and became principalities in the Holy Roman Empire and they struggled to all cooperate for a long time until 1871 when they all finally came together to create the  German Empire. That lasted for a bit and became a goo- sized colonial power until 1914 when World War One broke out and the Empire then sided with the Central Powers. It was here where they lost and Germany broke in pieces once again, both economically and politically. Soon came Nazi Germany and he had secret evil ambitions. After some peace but not much economic prosper during that time, he developed evil plans and invaded Poland (and Czechoslovakia just before), which started World War 2 in 1939. Just one wasn't enough, and Nazi Germany wanted to take over the world, get rid of both communism and capitalism, kill his enemies in the process, and replace it with fascism.

Nazi Germany had a great start but ultimately forgot he was facing the British Air Force,  French Resistance, and a lot of double agents (that originally worked for Nazi Germany but many got caught and turned against Nazi Germany instead). His enemies cracked the German Enigma code, then he had to deal with another war on the African Front and a strong Russian winter, and he was soon was overwhelmed by the Allies in 1945.

After this Germany became the child of a divorced couple; being the USA and the  USSR. Germany was split and became East and West Germany.

They both wanted to reunite, but USSR wouldn't let them live a happy life as one capitalist country. There was a wall in the way known as the Berlin Wall. The wall separated kids, families, friends, workers, etc. And more commonly, West and East Germans were also separated. Many demanded for the wall to fall down. However, people who tried to cross The Berlin Wall, either did it in dangerous ways, or weren't so lucky. Some may have made it.

It was this way for a while before USSR along with several others finally allowed everyone to be free and Germany reunified in 1990 after The Berlin Wall fell on November 9, 1989, due to too much pressure. So far Germany hasn't had any big problems except for recently Article 13 (and he can no longer make his German memes).

France
In the past, they were enemies for a long time. It got worse when Germany lost to World War 1 with the Treaty of Versailles (imposed by the winners). After World War 2, their relationships seemed to considerably worsen because of the Occupation and the Nazis. After that, they decided to try to get things better and since then it was the start of the Franco-German friendship which evolved into love. In 1958 they got their son/daughter the European Union, putting a lot of faith in him/her, so he could guarantee lasting peace and economic cohesion in Europe.

European Union
They're sibling whom they love. They're always supporting them while other European members start to doubt then.

Poland
They have had a terrible past because he (along with other countries) shared them during the XIX century and then invaded them again with the USSR during World War 2. Since then, Germany has apologized and they have better relationships. Their current relations are very good and even excellent, as they became strategic partners and close allies, some slight tensions over the past would take place between them, but this didn't prevent them from maintaining their strong friendship.

Greece
It's very complicated between these two since Greece has a lot of debt to pay but can't because of their crisis. Germany keeps reclaiming their money, so it's very strained.

Malaysia
Germany helps Malaysia in terms of economy. Germany aids are also 2nd largest number of tourists visiting Malaysia.

United States
Germany has been really influenced by the USA when it was divided. Also, a lot of Germans moved to the USA centuries ago. But these days there is tension between the two. Uncommonly, people portray The USA as Germany's Father Figure after the split.
