- Aspects: Very Stable, Powerful, Fifth Wave
As of 2100, Germany has enjoyed over a century of unity and peace. It has used the time to become a cornerstone of the European Union, in which it holds the largest economy and the most powerful military establishment. Internally Germany is wholly unified, all tensions between East and West long since resolved as both regions grew in prosperity. Externally, the nation has occasional disputes with its neighbors over trade, but it faces no significant foreign- policy challenges.
Germany is a multiparty democracy, with a coalition of moderate Preservationist parties that usually dominates national and regional elections. National politics are oriented toward maintaining trade and prosperity, while supporting an extensive program of social welfare benefits. Since the 2060s, local law has strictly regulated human genetic modification and bioshell manufacture.
Despite its current political conservatism, Germany has consistently been a leader in every new Wave of technological change, and is at present rapidly adopting Fifth Wave technologies. Germans enjoy one of the highest standards of living on Earth, including a social commitment to generous amounts of leisure time.
