Alsace-Lorraine

Alsace-Lorraine (German: Elsaß-Lothringen or Elsass-Lothringen) is a free land (gebiete) and constituent country of Großgermania. Comprising the territory of the Free Republic of Alsace Lorraine, which declared independence from France shortly before the foundation of Großgermania, it is a National Unionist republic, divided into six provinces (bezirke). It consists of a single province, which exists for administrative reasons only and has no political or economic government.

Alsace-Lorraine comprises territory that had been passed between Germany and France several times throughout history. The territorial entity that is Alsace-Lorraine was first created by the German Empire following the Franco-Prussian War when it annexed both the Alsace province of France as well as the Moselle district of Lorraine, calling the area the Imperial Province of Alsace-Lorraine (Reichsland Elsaß-Lothringen). Re-acquired by France following the First World War, Alsace-Lorraine became the site of heavy fighting during the Second World War as the Großdetsches Reich struggled to capture the Maginot Line of fortifications.

In February 2008, Alsace-Lorraine declared independence from France as the Free Republic of Alsace-Lorraine. Seeking protection from France, who was in the process of constructing a large military base over much of the Belgian Ardennes, Alsace-Lorraine joined the Association of Germanic States in September, becoming a free land of Großgermania in December.
