Germany has only existed for 25 years

>Germany has only existed for 25 years

AHhahaha how can you even call yourself a cunt?

>the UK will not exist for another 25 years

lmao

That is not the real Germany, it is the American occupation regime. Germany exists only in exile.

This.

>American occupation regime
damn right, you better stay good now. Otherwise we'll have to educate you again.

How can Germans even compete?

I can't even imagine the buttmad of being a kraut and getting btfo by the eternal empire.

>try to take over Europe once with a army
>fail
>try to take over Europe with a bigger more angry army
>fail
>try to take over Europe with bureaucracy and corruption
>FAIL AGAIN

The state of Germany really exists since 1871.

If you would take a closer look at history you would also count the Holy Roman Empire which existed between ~800 - 1806.

>bongs could UNIRONICALLY rob your country
you couldn't even do anything about it

They couldn't because Amerifats would fight and die for us

damn i would nut on civilization so hard

Austria has always been more German than Germany is.

Depends on what you define being a German as.

being sad about dresden

Why are brits so obsessed with Germany, when the Krauts don't seem to think about brits as often?

There are actually quite a lot of different German way of life's. Depends on the region. But I bet he has a distorted view of Germany.

It seems like we made the world so butthurt that they constantly think about us. Especially Poland.

Dear God why would you do this? Why would you even risk suggesting a thing even for a Joke

Fucking Scoviet Union indeed...But for not finishing them off like Spain did with the Aztecs.
As long as Germany and those things that live in there are allowed to exist, we will never have peace.

You are cunt while they are ein Staat.

Nazis were garbage. It was only ever good under Bismarck

Germany is an artificial formation and should be dissolved.

Hurry up and surrender Europe to Germany already so you can become a hyperpower

I believe the United States, with the current constitution being ratified in 1787, has the 6th-oldest continuously-operating government in the world, 3rd-oldest other than the constituent countries of the UK (although the UK wasn't itself around until 1801), and oldest outside of Europe. I could be wrong, though.

>The "Holy" ""Roman"" """"""Empire""""""

I'd even go as far and set our starting point to 843, when we split off the mixed state of Romance/Germanic speakers, thus having the first modern nation state mainly consisting of Germanic-speaking peoples

Isn't the Icelandic Thing just as old or older?

Our federal government has been operating continuously only since 1901 which still beats almost all old world states.

>Generalising a phrase that only describes the decadent era of the Empire tho it's almost thousand year span
I really dislike this meme, Voltaire, please fuck off to your grave and stay there.

The HRE was NOT a nation, and for most part one can argue it wasn't even a State but a bunch of loosely tied States. And by the very fact you insist calling it "Roman" shows it was NOT based on a Germanic identity, but on some attempt of leeching the Roman soft power.

Using quotation marks isn't as fun as calling them "Weird Barbarian Clusterfuck".

It was an official recognised political entity with an elected ruler and no matter how much you cry it still was a country, although a special case.

It was Roman because it once was Catholic in its inception and who doesn't have a hard-on for muh Romans in Europe? They wuz emprah N SHIET, son.

>confederation of loosely tied states
Pretty sure that's only true to mid to late empire, but don't quotee on that

How do Europeans see the Bismarck era?

>Pretty sure that's only true to mid to late empire
That's why I said "for most part".

With barely any political power; being emperor meant shit, not even cities directly controlled by the Empire (as Bern) gave a fuck. It was as much as a country for most part of its history as the EU is one.

That's not for the most part, golden bull is from 1356

Assuming the HRE begins at 962 and ends at 1806: 394 vs. 450 years. Between 800 and 962 it's arguable if you're dealing with the HRE or still two broken Carolingian kingdoms.

Germany most definitely did not exist as a state until 1871. End of story.

The Holy Roman Empire really was a Holy Roman Empire- not a German Empire . Of course, this seems strange from our modern perspective of concrete ethnic nation-states but to project such paradigms onto the medieval geo-political framework is as anachronistic as saying that Ancient Greece was a united country with its capital being Athens. Its dumb.

If you asked any average medieval 'German' living in the Holy Roman Empire if he was a German or a Roman he would have said he was a Roman. Medieval Europe saw itself as the Roman Empire- be it Byzantine or Western European. The nations kept the culture, framework and laws from the Roman Empire.

The concept of national identity was foreign and did not gain traction until the 17th Century and the French Revolution. This notion that the Roman Empire ended at a definitive date is also a projection of modern ideas of nation-state geopolitics. The Roman Empire was not a nation-state Empire. It was a military oligarchy governed by a standard rule of law and culture. As long as the culture and laws hold the Empire would exist. When did the Roman Empire end? When Constantine legalised Christianity in 312? When the Goths sacked Rome in 410? When the last Western Roman Emperor resigned in 453? When Constantinople fell in 1453?

None. The Classical Roman Empire ended but the Roman Empire has not- it merely evolved into medieval and then modern Europe.

Sure, the Germanic culture existed since the Roman Empire- if not before. But the term German is a nebulous term that was not coined by the 'Germans' but by Julius Caesar in the Gallic Wars to refer to the tribe across the Rhine who fought with the Celtic Belgae who inhabited modern day northern France. For all we know, the original Germanae that Caesar was referring to could have been Celtic and not 'Germanic'

Germany's a small guy.

This.

Actually, though, 96% of our states (48) predate pretty much everything except for the UK/Switzerland/Microstates; such is the historical state of Europe and conflict/invasion.

UUUU

Germany doesn't actually exist. Like said, it's an artificial formation with artificial borders. It is pretty much a non-country like Belgium.

Prove me wrong.
Protip: you can't.
