German Empire
Germany's greater history and destiny lies upon the works of the Iron Chancellor, Otto von Bismarck. After the wars against Austria and France in 1866 and in 1871, the unification was complete. With Bismarck's dismissal and death, Kaiser Wilhelm II enacted his 'Weltpolitik', a policy which aimed a global power house for the German Empire. However, this policy eventually caused tension between the major powers of the world in 1910s, leading the Great War, better known as the Weltkrieg. Beneath the German boots, the Triple Entente was overwhelmed and Germany's alliance was victorious. A lot were changing while Germany was getting at topper and topper: Revolutions stepped on across the world. Far-Leftist factions among the faithful gathered and unified, have created the Third Internationale. The Third Internationale or the Red International was the Anti-German League in the Continental Europe. Political violence in Germany, combined with the greatest economic crisis, the state's richness were undoubtably at the bottom. One man came on top with taking advantages of these, then Prussian Minister of War Kurt von Schliecher. Schliecher was appointed as the chancellor while there was no majority reached in the parliamentary elections but the challenge was just begining. Chancellor Schleicher had to from a coalition with the conservatives after splitting the far-rightist party from them, the DVLPnote . Kurt von Schleicher tried to centralise the empire and consolidate his rule. But the world was not getting calmer and Germany was not getting readier. That caused him to prepare his Reich to the war incoming. While the globe was burning, a garrison at the border of Revulationary France accidentily shelled a French village beyond the border which led to the war between the two major factions: The Reichspakt and The Third Internationale, later known as the Anti-Reich Coalition. Other exiled Entente countries declared war from their collapsed colonial empires and thus the bloodiest war that history had ever seen started. After only one year, in 1941, Kurt von Schleicher, now nicked the Second Bismarck, died of a stroke. The whole country was in shock, including the Kaiser. Wilhelm II, very tired and old, couldn't risk another political struggle, Germany needed a cabinet above politics. So he established a military government to stabilize the course of the war before his very death: The successor Minister of War, Ludwig Beck. General Beck distributed the ministries to his military companions. The German state was slowly getting stratocratic and no one could intervene because of the state of war. In 1949, the war ended with a decisive victory for the Reichspakt and a confinable for the exiled Entente. With the end of the European theatre, the Kaiser, along with other political associates, demanded the military's dismissal from the governence. But Ludwig Beck had other plans. Leading a caretaker government, he wanted to continue ruling. A certain problem, the constitution, occured. According to the 1920's March Constitution, without exceptional situations (which includes a state of war), the elections had to follow up and a chancellor had to be appointed based on the Reichstag majority of the seats. Ludwig Beck had none and his exception had come at an end. Schleicher had formed a coalition with the conservatives and the remnants of his associates advised Beck to restore the blocc. Kurt knew politics at least a little bit but Ludwig had none experience, he had just become a minister and then a chancellor. He aligned himself with the Conservative Party (DKP) just like Schleicher but one change, a radical one: He included the DVLP to the coalition, which eventually put another nail in his reign's coffin. Ludwig Beck ruled with his right hand, the latter Minister of War, Heinz Guderian as a stratocrat. Martial law, hash quotas, high taxes, military policing and all funds to the army, they were nicknamed as the Shoguns of the Heernote , and Beck, as the Dark Shogun. But his rule came at an end in 1955 when he died of natural causes. The Dark Shogun had made himself a lot of enemies on the political arena and his band of political experts were ready to betray him. With the office of chancellor became vacant, many expected the Minister of War Heinz Guderian to succeed. The Current Kaiser, Frederick IV had ascended the throne in 1951. His late father, Wilhelm III didn't live enough to see another chancellor than Beck and didn't approve a military government. This actively caused Frederick IV to hate the stratocracy. Guderian was not appointed and forced to resign from his ministerial office. With the conservatives getting rid of the Shoguns, they were appointed as the channcellor.
- Ape Shall Never Kill Ape: Despite the protests, the conservative government's hands are tied as they can not interfere with them, can not supress them because they hold the legacy of the martial law of the Shoungs. They are very much afraid of being seen as their true successor and the continuation of the suffering.

His Imperial and Royal Majesty, The Kaiser
Louis Frederick inherited the throne from his late father, Kaiser Wilhelm III. At the time of his father, his father and he didn't see a different chancellor or a government than the Dark Shogun, Ludwig Beck. His father always advised and wrote in his will for Louis to defeat the Shoguns at all costs.So, despite the ideologic dilenmas and other problems, the New Kaiser didn't appoint Heinz Guderian (then the successor of Ludwig Beck) to the post of chancellery. This led to a major political violence and an unrest between the militarists and the people of Germany. Heinz Guderian in the end resigned from all of his governmental offices and the Shoguns at long last laid defeated. Registered voting was introduces once again and Beck's former allies and coalition, the conservatives won the elections to the parliament and their candidate, rather puppet, Kurt Georg Kiesinger was appointed chancellor. From this time, 1955, the Black-Red Coalition, nicknamed the Crimson Parties ruled Germany. With the constitution undirectly preventing him from governing, the Kaiser couldn't intervene in political affairs. He belived that the conservatives would give him power but they didn't. So the Kaiser slowly and steadily started to hate the regime and wanted more power. This led him to slightly support the other candidates, a deal with the devil, current Minister of War and Defense Otto Ernst Remer.WIPWIPWIP
