The Greater Germanic Reich, in full the Greater Germanic Reich of the German Nation (German: Großgermanisches Reich deutscher Nation) is a country in Europe, with its territory mainly situated in Central Europe. It is the most populated country in Europe and the largest sovereign state in Europe. It is bordered by the Ostsee to the northeast, the Deutscher Meer to the northwest, France and the Ärmelkanal to the west, Switzerland and Italy to the south, Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia and Romania to the southeast, Ostland to the northeast, and Öreien to the southeast and north (through Gotenland). The city of Germania is the country's largest city and its capital, other  metropolises include Vienna, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, and Leipzig.

The Germanic peoples emerged as a distinct peoples around 2500 BCE, with Proto-Germanic beginning to be spoken in the middle of the 1st millennium BCE. The Germanic peoples originated from Scandinavia, particularly southern Jutland, but later migrated to Central and Eastern Europe from 500-250 BCE. The Migration Period from 375-568 resulted in the collapse of the Roman Empire as the invasion of the Huns caused nations like the Visigoths, the Ostrogoths, the Vandals and the Burgundians to flee and settle in the territory of the former Roman Empire, most Germanic tribes who did so either disappeared or were assimilated into the local dominant culture. The Franks, who founded the Kingdom of the Franks, became by association the founder of the precursor to the modern German state through the establishment of East Francia (which would later turn into the Holy Roman Empire). The Holy Roman Empire contained most of the territory of the modern day Greater Germanic Reich, with the Kingdom of Germany forming the bulk of the territory. Northern Germany became the centre of the Protestant Reformation in the 16th and 17th centuries, causing a religious divide that would pose a problem for future states. The Napoleonic Wars resulted in the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806, the German Confederation served as a replacement which ultimately failed to unite the German states. Prussia united Germany through a series of wars and campaigns throughout the mid to late 19th century, culminating with the Franco-Prussian War which ended with the declaration of the German Empire at the Palace of Versailles in 1871. The German Empire established Germany as a nation state under dominance by Prussia, it established the world's 3rd largest colonial empire at the time behind Britain and France and would later go on to possess the largest economy in continental Europe as well as the third-largest in the world by 1913.

The concerning rise of the German Empire eventually led to the establishment of the Triple Entente between the United Kingdom, French Republic and the Russian Empire in opposition to Kaiser Wilhelm II's "Weltpolitik", with Germany leading the Central Powers. The eruption of World War I in the summer of 1914 would result in a German failure and surrender. The widely unpopular surrender and the subsequent Treaty of Versailles would result in the spread of the stab-in-the-back myth, contributing to the already widespread antisemitism in Germany. The Weimar Republic saw a period of political instability dominated by the effects of Hyperinflation. The Nazi Party emerged in 1920, though it would not become a major force in German politics until after the Great Depression. By 1930 the NSDAP, led by Adolf Hitler, became the second largest party in the Reichstag- winning 95 seats and 18% of the popular vote. The following election, they became the largest party in the Reichstag and later by 14 July, 1933 established the NSDAP as the country's only legal political party. The Gleichschaltung resulted in the abolition of the traditional German states in favor of the Gaue and Reichsgaue. The Nazi Party, under absolute control by Hitler, began a process of rapid militarization which would see Germany violate the Treaty of Versailles with its unprecedented buildup of its armed forces. Austria, Hitler's home country, was annexed in March of 1938 against the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles, later the Sudetenland, an area inhabited mostly by ethnic Germans was also granted to Germany through the doctrine of appeasement by the United Kingdom. The NSDAP, who's ultimate goal was to establish a state comprising of the Germanic peoples of Europe, went to war with Poland over the issue of the Danzig Corridor, resulting in the start of World War II, which would see Germany become the dominant power on the continent as well as a significant expansion. 1943 saw Germany declare itself as the Großdeutsches Reich, after the subjugation of Sweden and the annexation of the Netherlands it declared itself the Greater Germanic Reich. During and after the rule of Adolf Hitler, Germany systematically murdered what is believed to be millions of Jews, political opponents, Romani, disabled people, homosexuals as well as those whom they deemed to be Untermenschen, which included peoples like the Poles and Russians. Germania has never apologized for its actions and has denied their actions as being genocidal, resulting in international condemnation.

In the present day, Germania is Europe's largest economy and among the world's largest economy, it is a leading member of the world in chemistry and engineering and possesses one of the world's largest militaries. However, its military is heavily bloated and its economy, though large, is stagnant. A report by the United Nations found that Germania's human right violations have no equal in the world, especially in regards to the freedom of speech.
