世界上人口第三多的已開發國家，僅次於美國和日本。歷經神聖羅馬帝國、德意志帝國、威瑪共和、納粹德國，以及二戰後分裂為東西德等政權更迭後，終於在1990年重新統一成為現在的德國。人類發展指數極高，生活水平居世界前列，無論是教育、環境綠化、動物保護、醫療體系，皆是首屈一指。歐盟創始國，積極推動歐元區，是歐洲整合的重要推手。擔任總理十多年的梅克爾於2021年卸任，「後梅克爾時代」的德國是各國關注重點。

Year Founded: 1990

Germany is the third most populated developed country in the world, after the United States and Japan. After the Holy Roman Empire, German Empire, Weimar Republic, Nazi Germany and post WWII divide into East and West Germany, the country eventually reunified in 1990 and became the Germany we know today. The country scores very high on the Human Development Index with a world-leading living standard. Be it education, greening, animal protection, or healthcare, Germany’s performance is second to none. As one of the founding members of the EU, it has been an active advocate for the Eurozone and is a key player in the European integration. With Angela Merkel retiring from office after serving as the Chancellor for more than a decade, the world is watching closely to see how the post-Merkel era unfolds for Germany.
