West Germany

West Germany, officially known as the Deutsches Bund (German Confederation) is a capitalist country in Central Europe. Along with the Free Socialist Republic of Germany (East Germany), it is one of two states claiming to be the legitimate government of Germany, a division that arose due to the split between Allied and Comintern zones of occupation following Nazi Germany's defeat in World War II.

West Germany is a federal constitutional monarchy, however, the state has been overwhelmingly dominated by right-wingers since its inception, with the German National People's Party (DNVP) having rarely lost power. The state has a reputation for being one of the most nationalistic and militiarized states in Europe, in spite of the break with its Nazi past. Due to the onset of the Cold War, Allied forces relaxed restrictions on figures associated with the old regime from holding public office, although National Socialist ideology officially remains banned.

The country is a member of Alliance of Free States.
