Should Germany reacquire its former territories?

[Pandeeria]

Why do you post on such a formal, ICish format? This is OOC.

Because he's a duke.

It's perplexing, but mostly pissing me off that he posts in such a format.

[Hurdegaryp]

Yes, In fact I believe that Germany should look like this:

Dear Dragomerian Islands,

I believe our Reich should look like this;

I do not want our nation to have to deal with minorities hostile to German rule in Italy, Denmark and in the former Austro-Hungarian territories.

Cordially and respectfully,

the Duke of Alpirsbach.

Just fuck that. Fuck it so hard it bleeds.

[Devera]

While I am a huge pro-Germany guy, this literally could not happen, on a scale beyond this, you could argue that Norway/Sweden should own all of Scandinavia, and Russia since they settled that area. The world today simply couldn't handle something like that, and it would probably lead to an immense amount of civil wars due to the fact the area Germany had claims two now belongs to nations occupied by mainly none Germans.

[Alyakia]

I might be wrong, but wasn't Germany trying to gain its former territory a catalyst for the bloodiest (and costliest) conflict in history?

yes

[The imperial canadian dutchy]

Yes, God bless Germany, could put much better use to than the Polish, And everyone complains about RUssia, so no one will mind if Konigsburg goes back to Germany, Then ELsass Lotherigen would be nice, Cause Fuck France.

This is of course Illogical ,but a Germophile can dream.

How is that at all justifiable?

To reestablish the Holy Roman Empire.

[The Two Jerseys]

No, "Germany" is Habsburg land, and therefore should be part of Austria.

A.E.I.O.U.!

[ImperialistSalvia]

I've never understood the fixation with "German strength". Germany's really not that cool, you guys.

It's because of "muh 14/88 German ancestry :-DD"

[Immoren]

Obviously Germany shouldve been permanently partitioned to its neighbors after the war.

For one of those mythical creatures that dwell under bridges and who we are not supposed to call by their true name, dukey over there is one of the more formal ones. It's all a poorly executed joke, of course. But, this being NationStates General, it's not as if we have anything better to do than to collectively jump on this thread and start humping it like a mangy dog with poor impulse control.

[Shilya]

No, we don't want any kings.
No, we don't want any old territories back.

Go away.

[The Orson Empire]

Ughh, not this bullshit again.

[Herargon]

Should Germany become the leader of the world once again?! YA! Großdeutschland! Großdeutschland über alles!

It's ''JA!'' not, ''YA'' in German.

[Aiyania]

1. Didn't the Kaiser leaves willingly?

2. Your enemies DID bring you down twice

3. No, no more Kaisers!

4. You guys stole those territories as much as everyone else

5. No one is allowed to have African or Asian possessions

6. Did that, twice, 60 million people died because of it.

1. No.

2. ... after France was invaded and "brought down" by Prussia thrice within 60 years.

3. English has the word "emperor" why don't you use it? Oh right, because bugger "the Queen" (i.e. that one old woman without an impact on the world, who gets loads of money confiscated from the people shoved up her backside all the time).

4. So the USA should be dissolved is what you're saying. Don't get me wrong, there isn't even the weak argument of "ethnic Germans living there" these days, so there is absolutely no bloody point in wanting that land back with Germany, I don't get why anyone would want it; it wouldn't even have any interesting industry and such. But be careful with throwing around accusations of "stealing", because firstly, the lands referred to there were mostly either bought by or gifted to Prussia / Saxony, and secondly, if every country gave up the land they "stole", as per your definition, you don't even know what the world map would look like right now.

5. Not even Africans and Asians? Also, several countries still have minor possessions there and / or still act as regional hegemon.

6. Think again if you're not addressing the wrong country, mate.

I don't mind it.

[Nervium]

Well, seeing the horrific things they did to brave little Belgium, it makes sense we get 30%.

But keep Bavaria please, not that, just... not that.

[Pandeeria]

Let's hand back all the British and French territories in Africa too. Hell, let's rebuild the Ottoman Empire to it's geographical height in the 1600's. Everyone says it's badass, so no one must object to it.

[Greater Mackonia]

Yes, I would get behind that proposal, a good German superstate to challenge the waves of Americanism.

Or at least trade the Crimea for Königsberg and refound glorious Prussia.

[Pimps Inc]

Germany needs to rebuild its military and improve its population.Last year there was more deaths than births in Germany.

[Insaeldor]

To reestablish the Holy Roman Empire.

That's no where near the boarders if the Holy Roman Empire silly.

[Hurdegaryp]

Ughh, not this bullshit again.

Yup, this bullshit again. Pretty sure this thing keeps going until the moderators enter the equation. This is NationStates General, after all. It's where the slime lives.

[Kingdom of Derita]

What if France got all it territory it had during the Napoleon Empire? That would be great right?

[Spoder]

ololol

And I thought it was the middle of September...

[The Duke of Alpirsbach]

A.E.I.O.U.!

Dear The Two Jerseys,

How dare you insult my nation? The Habsburgs are nothing but scum and they've led many nations into failure and decline in the past, and there is no reason for us to believe they won't do this again in the present.

Cordially and respectfully,

the Duke of Alpirsbach.

I did not say it would be exact, in fact if it was up to me, Germany would possess all Europe, and nations that contained a portion of the original Roman Empire
