Germany

Germany was a pre-War European country. After World War II, the country was divided into two states, East Germany and West Germany. By 2060, as the European Commonwealth dissolved, the country fell into disarray, bickering and quarreling with its neighbors over the last few remaining resources on Earth.

Background
Germany is the country of origin and the creators of the renowned PPK12 Gauss pistol, M72 Gauss rifle, MP9 10mm SMG and the Vindicator minigun. Many major technologies were created by Germans such as Hans Geiger, Carl Friedrich Gauss, Werner Heisenberg, and Nikola Tesla.

Little is known about the country in-game, outside the above references, although the presence of Gauss rifles in mainland United States in copious amounts, as well as the employment of a strikingly similar weapon system by the Chinese, implies the Germans had equal opportunity business deals with both sides of the Great War.

Vault-Tec scientist Stanislaus Braun was from Kronach, a town in the state of Bavaria in southeastern Germany.

Due to the divergence, it is unknown what happened to Germany after World War II, such as whether or not the country was split.

In Fallout 3, Agatha's Station plays three songs by the German composer Johann Sebastian Bach. In addition, music from Gerhard Trede is played on Galaxy News Radio.

In Fallout: New Vegas, music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Felix Mendelssohn, Johann Sebastian Bach, Gerhard Trede, and Richard Wagner are featured.
