=== Adoption of the Modern Flag ===

=== Symbolism ===
The colors of the modern German flag hold symbolic significance:
# Black: Historically associated with the Prussian monarchy, the color black represents determination, strength, and resilience.
# Red: Symbolizing the blood shed in the pursuit of freedom and unity, the color red reflects the values of courage, sacrifice, and solidarity.
# Gold: Representing the golden future of a united and prosperous Germany, the color gold embodies hope, optimism, and enlightenment.

The 2 other Germanies had a Problem with Berlinia and sind a mutual Pakt to attack Berlinia and Berlia only. But Berlinia was Planning their own ways and decided to plan a massive offensive to Reunite Germany.

The Three-German-Crisis

The German Three State Crisis was an event from March 23rd to April 2nd in which Germany was divided between Berlinia, German Democratic Republic and Germany[1]. Germany was split into 3 Nation. The Three Germanies had one Vision: Uniting Germany under their Great Government.

The Germanic Flag

The future of the German Flag

The Government wanted to announce a change to the Flag of the German People, because "it looks like the past" - Ministry of Defense, Nicombat

"It is with immense pride and profound significance that we declare the unification of Germany and the country formerly known as Berlinia. After decades of separation, division, today marks a triumph of unity, reconciliation, and the collective will of our people. With unwavering determination, leaders from both sides have come together to build bridges, dissolve barriers, and embrace a shared future. In light of this momentous occasion, we announce the adoption of a new name for our united nation: Großdeutsches Reich. This name reflects not only our historical heritage but also our commitment to inclusivity and strength through unity." - Strauß

The Future of Germanic People

Germany had new plans for the future of their People: Uniting every Germanic country under their regime

The future of the "Großdeutsches Reich"

The Great Chancellor "keksdose_lp" had brought Germany this far: ,,may as well keep going" he said. He launched a massive campaign to annex every Germanic State, City and Province to then claim the name

"Großdeutsches Reich". He had planned lots of Reforms to his country including Govermental and Diplomatic ones. keksdose_lp had a great vision ahead, a great Germany. He ordered all his men to simply ask

unclaimed Provinces to join his "Reich". A lot of people loved the Idea, but a lot also didn't..

"For too long, these lands have remained stateless, neglected and devoid of the cultural and historical heritage that binds them to our nation. With this bold step, we reclaim what is rightfully ours and reaffirm our commitment to the preservation and advancement of Germanic identity and values. The annexation of these territories represents a historic opportunity to reunite scattered communities and revitalize regions that have long been disconnected from the German nation. It is a testament to our unwavering resolve to safeguard the interests and well-being of all Germans and Germanics, wherever they may reside. As we embark on this journey of reunification and integration, we call upon all citizens to embrace our shared heritage and extend a warm welcome to our fellow countrymen and women who will soon join us as full members of our society. The German Reichsregierung is fully committed to ensuring a smooth and peaceful transition for all affected regions and communities. We will work tirelessly to provide the necessary support and resources to facilitate their integration into the fabric of our nation. Let us stand united in this historic endeavor, as we embark on a new chapter of German greatness and solidarity." - Ministry of Defense, Nicombat to be continued
