The Germanic Republic's History

 * The Germanic Republic was founded on December the fourth, two-thousand-and-six. The main citizens consist of refugees from British Colombia, where a German colony had been formed but has since disbanded. The opening speech by the Head of Government, known as the Chancellor, formed the country in Kiel, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.

''"In the interests of the people, and the preservation of the former British Colombian colony of the Fatherland, we, the elected representatives of the people of this new nation, hereby form the Germanic Republic. Freedom of speech is to be preserved, as is your right to demonstrate, and no man or women shall ever be discriminated against by the government for race, sex, sexual preference, or any other reason.

''Immigrants will be welcomed to an extent-- to stay here you must register at your local census office and obtain your greencard. If you fail to comply you will be deported, save for circumstances such as you having a job here but living in another country. We condone the use of "illegal" drugs, but we will fund rehabilitation centers to cure addiction if you so feel the need to check in.

''We support the full use of Nuclear weaponry and will not hesitate to research our own nuclear warheads when we can adequetly fund such. We have no qualms with trade with morally questionable nations, and we will do so openly, and we will give what we can in foreign aid as soon as we are financially capable of doing so.

''With this, I present the Germanic Republic, we, the government, are the servants of the people, elected by the people. Have a blessed day, and Heil to the fatherland!"''
