Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany is a federal parliamentary republic in western-central Europe. It includes 16 constituent states and covers an area of 357,021 square kilometers with a largely temperate seasonal climate. Its capital and largest city is Berlin. With 80.7 million inhabitants, Germany is the most populous member state in the European Union. After the United States, it is the second most popular migration destination in the world.
Various Germanic tribes have occupied northern Germany since classical antiquity. A region named Germania was documented before 100 CE. During the Migration Period the Germanic tribes expanded southward. Beginning in the 10th century, German territories formed a central part of the Holy Roman Empire. During the 16th century, northern German regions became the center of the Protestant Reformation. The capital and largest city is Berlin. The currency is Euro (€) (EUR).
Some interesting facts are:
1. The Christmas tree (Tannenbaum) tradition came from Germany.
2. There are over 300 different kinds of bread in Germany. There are also bread museums.
3. The biggest Beer Festival in the world is of course the Oktoberfest in Munich, Bavaria, where the size of the beer glass is not 500 ml but a whole liter, the Mass!
4. There are more football (soccer for the North Americans) fan clubs in Germany than anywhere else in the world.
5. Chancellor Angela Merkel has a Barbie doll made after her.
6. Germany has over 400 zoos, the most in the world.

8. Germany is one of the world's leading book nations.
9. Smoking is banned in public places but drinking is still legal.
10. Same-sex couples are allowed to adopt in Germany – any form of discrimination against gay and lesbian people is illegal, also. Berlin is the third biggest gay city in Europe, with an estimated 300,000 gay and lesbian residents.
11. The land of poets and thinkers: or das land de dichter und denker; Bach, Beethoven and Goethe were all German, alongside composers Händel, Schumann, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Wagner and R. Strauss. Some of the world's greatest German philosophers include Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and Heidegger.
