Germany
Germany is a country within Europe, and a NATO member-state. It had a tough old life in the 20th Century, what with a major war in the 1910s, being overrun by Cobra, starting another bigger war that ended with it getting the crap beaten out of it by the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, France, and Canada and then, from 1945 to 2011 1990, being split into the democratic West Germany and the Soviet Union allied East Germany.
It is bordered by Switz, France, Ciech, Poland and Austria.

Germany was found on a map made to show the route of the Europa 2000, with the geographic borders being a slightly inaccurate depiction of real-life Germany's geography at that time.

During 1918, as part of the First World War, Germany was involved in naval warfare against the United States of America. Apparently the Germans had some damn impressive airplanes, because Soundwave was automatically assumed to be a German weapon! Making Waves
IDW Comics
During the Second World War, Nazi Germany captured Jetfire and reverse-engineered him at Castle Neuschwanstein to create transforming war machines of their own. They'd just completed their ultimate weapon, the Panzer-Giganten, when a Sector Seven commando team raided the castle and freed Jetfire. Neuschwanstein was destroyed and everyone involved in the project killed, leaving Germany with no chance of restarting the project. Weapon
Notes
- Germany is responsible for the glory of Holger Fath!
- German selective dog breeding brought us the German Shepherd in 1899, the alternate mode of K-9.
- Condor Verlag reprinted Marvel stories in Germany, along with a variety of rather odd original text stories.
- To this date not a single Transformers Series, which premiered in Germany, was properly concluded by showing all episodes. You could argue that all 26 episodes of Beast Machines were shown, but the show itself was Part of the Beast Wars Continuity, from which Season 2 and 3 were never shown. Thanks for doing such a good Marketing Job over here Hasbro Germany!
