    Germany (German: Deutschland, pronounced [ˈdɔʏtʃlant] ( listen)), officially the Federal


    Republic of Germany,[f] is a country in Central Europe. It is the second most populous
    country in Europe after Russia, and the most populous member state of the European
    Union. Germany is situated between the Baltic and North seas to the north, and the Alps to
    the south; it covers an area of 357,022 square kilometres (137,847 sq mi), with a
    population of almost 84 million within its 16 constituent states. Germany
    borders Denmark to the north, Poland and the Czech Republic to the
    east, Austria and Switzerland to the south, and France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and
    the Netherlands to the west. The nation's capital and most populous city is Berlin and its
    financial centre is Frankfurt; the largest urban area is the Ruhr.
    Various Germanic tribes have inhabited the northern parts of modern Germany
    since classical antiquity. A region named Germania was documented before AD 100. In
    962, the Kingdom of Germany formed the bulk of the Holy Roman Empire. During the 16th
    century, northern German regions became the centre of the Protestant Reformation.
    Following the Napoleonic Wars and the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806,
    the German Confederation was formed in 1815. In 1871, Germany became a nation-state
    when most of the German states unified into the Prussia-led German Empire. After World
    War I and the German Revolution of 1918–1919, the Empire was replaced by the semi-
    presidential Weimar Republic.
    The Nazi seizure of power in 1933 led to the establishment of a totalitarian
    dictatorship, World War II, and the Holocaust. After the end of World War II in Europe and a
    period of Allied occupation, Germany was divided into the Federal Republic of Germany,
    generally known as West Germany, and the German Democratic Republic, East Germany.
    The Federal Republic of Germany was a founding member of the European Economic
    Community and the European Union, while the German Democratic Republic was a
    communist Eastern Bloc state and member of the Warsaw Pact. After the fall of
    communism, German reunification saw the former East German states join the Federal
    Republic of Germany on 3 October 1990—becoming a federal parliamentary republic.
    Germany is a great power with a strong economy; it has the largest economy in Europe,
    the world's fourth-largest economy by nominal GDP and the fifth-largest by PPP. As a
    global power in industrial, scientific and technological sectors, it is both the world's third-
    largest exporter and importer. As a highly developed country, which ranks ninth on
    the Human Development Index, it offers social security and a universal health care system,
    environmental protections, a tuition-free university education, and it is ranked as sixteenth-
    most peaceful country in the world. Germany is a member of the United Nations, the
    European Union, NATO, the Council of Europe, the G7, the G20 and the OECD. It has
    the third-greatest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
