East Germany

East Germany, officially known as the Freie Sozialistische Republik Deutschlands (Free Socialist Republic of Germany) is a socialist country in Central Europe. Along with the Deutsches Bund, 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.

Foreign Relations
East Germany is considered to be one of the more aggressively anti-capitalist members of the Third Communist International as a result of being on the frontline of one of the most contentious regions of the cold war and a long history of animosity and complicated relations with its western counterpart. With the need to make some effort to rival the military machine of the German Federation to its west, East Germany is also a rather militant state with most of its adult population being ready to serve at a moment's notice in case of war.

Just as West Germany is proactive in trying to defend and spread Capitalism, East Germany is quick to support and defend revolutions and revolutionary governments wherever they may form in order to advance the internationalist cause. Very often, this leads to volunteer and special forces soldiers from the two Germanies clashing in battlefields far from the mainland of Europe which of course serves to deepen the animosity between the two.

The Hugenburg line is one of the most militarised borders in the world, with only designated safe passages being free of hazards such as land mines.
