Great cars, great beer, great guns (Heckler und Koch ring a bell?) Great ally of the United States. Defeated in two world wars, but due to a few mistakes. Was divided in half, with Berlin (which was in East Germany) also divided in half. Used to be Nazi Germany, before that the Weimar Republic, before that the German Empire, before that the Holy Roman Empire, before that the German Confederation... etc.
Germany kicks ass with its badass guns.

Germany is one of the few countries that admits to and repents the crimes it has committed, something which other countries cannot claim of themselves.
Non-German European who ignorantly believes all Germans are Nazis: Germany is responsible for millions of deaths, which must mean they still willingly support the Nazi ideology, completely illogical bastards that they are.
Me: What about the millions of (insert minority group here) you murdered in your colonies in Africa?

Germany is a beautiful country full of people who respect each other and are still repenting for the holocaust 60 years after it ended. Germans would never even dream of saying that they are proud of being German, because their sense of pride and identity was trashed by some freak from Austria a long time ago. The holocaust wasn't the fault of the general population, and Germans have only recently started assuming a kind of national identity again, listening to bands singing in German, enjoying German movies and taking pride in German food, culture, landscapes, tolerance and openness. Germany deserves respect- it has had to suffer long enough.
I'm German-American living in Munich, so I know what I'm talking about, in case you were wondering. Germany is fantastic.

A girl that is extremely chic and fashionable. She makes people laugh, and makes other people feel awkward. She is pretty outgoing and beautiful. She can come off as hilariously conceited or have a lack of sympathy, but overall she is a fun, crazy, creative girl!
Person 1- "Where'd you get that dress, it is so Germanie!"

Germany, a country that knows how to deal with its past. Nowhere else are so many memorials for the victims of the country's past. And nowhere else are students supposed to know the whole history of the Holocaust. Once there was a Concentration Camp (by the way an English invention that was abused by the Nazis) in my neighbourhood and it now is a memorial, always visited by all kinds of people...
our grandfathers in germany killed 6 million people for no reason, but our children will know and won't repeat it.
Others killed more and no one knows.
What will happen next?

OK, before I get started on this definition can i just say that I am a half german half english person who has lived in Germany all her life, gone to german school and KNOWS about German culture so TRUST ME, i do know what I'm talking about!!
Germany is a country in central Europe, with a very good rep for cars, football and beer, all of which I have to agree are very good. Γes, they have also killed countless Jews and are also largely at fault for two terrible World Wars, and let me tell you something WE ARE NOT PROUD OF IT!!! NO self respecting German would ever come out and say he was proud of what Hitler did (who, by the way was from Austria) and We also don't want it repeated. Every country has a past and I think the people who are still trashing us because of it, need to realize that it was 60 years ago and most of the people who were involved in it have by now infact died of old age. Anyone in Germany who is still a Nazi (which, may I point out amounts to about the same percentage of Racist swines in England, America, poland, or any other country on the face of this planet) is not honoured by all fellow cicizens and Nazis are as hated here as anywhere else. indeed, probably more hated, because of all the horrible stuff they did and have earned us a reputation for Racism and evilness which doesn't fit into modern German society.
Despite this, contrary to what that Person from munich down there said, German people are proud to be German, but this is NOT because of the WWs but because we really d have a great country. The Music here is awesome, our football team is the best in the world (well, we think so...) and we produce amazing beer and cars for all occasions. Germany has a very "Proud to be German" feel about it, a sort of defence mechanism, whenever anyone brings up Hitler. This does NOT mean "We are proud to be german and hate all who are of a different race or belief than us and wish to kill them all." I mean, anyone living in Germany will appreciate how many turkish people there are here, and how many polish people. Without them, there would not be even nearly as many people in this beautifull country.
Another poular misconception of Germany, is that we all wear Lederhosen (thats tight trousers made out of Leather), and eat sauerkraut all day. I can infact assure you, this is not the case. the only place in Germany ANYONE wears these hideous Garments is in Bayern (Bavaria) where the only real reason they are donned, is for American tourists to take pictures of them and say they went somewhere "real traditional" .
Also, the german speaking Music market is very poular here, comprised of acts full of variety from Fler to Revolverheld to Jeanette Biedermann. The German Hip Hop scene considers itself to be "hardcore" and full of Murder, Drugs, hard youths and hoes, and anyone who listens to German Hip Hop (as a real fan) will talk about Berlin in a manner that suggests it to be the most hardcore city in the world, which of course everyone who has ever been to New York knows it is not. If you however, dare to defie them in their strong beleif that they are ard UNDEGROUNG Gangstas you will suffer seroious abuse.
The German Rock scene is dominated by non punk rockers, but is also very popular.

One of the greatest countrys in the world. Beautiful scenery. Hot women. Great beer. And the best automobile makers in the world to. Germans were also the first to discover many cool things such as Infrared lighting.
If I could move to another country, it would be germany!
