Juniorism

Charlemagne and a talented successor could have begun the renewal of the glorious Roman Empire. But the toxic tradition of hereditary power brought Europe right back into the Dark Ages. Under our own Richkid Reich, we're not allowed to analyze history logically.

There were Germanic peoples, and for longer than 1,500 years, but Germany as a nation came about around 1875. Bismarck and Weber and others worked very hard on inventing a common culture and a nationalist mentality among the various tribes.

Bavarians were different from Berliners, who were different from Prussians, who were different from Saxons, etc., etc.

All Republics Are Elitist Cliques

It doesn't have to be, but all revolutions have been led by hereditary cliques, never so far by the rest. The French Revolutionary Republic was led by the hereditary 2% using the 98% to guillotine the hereditary 1% and otherwise excluding the people, as always.
 
We don’t call China or Japan by anything close to their “real” names either. Just a mix of history and language

Germany’s called many wildly different names in various languages due to the fact that it wasn’t a united nation until relatively recently history-wise

It’s called Allemagne in French

I was engaged to a Berliner and when she came to Bavaria where I was stationed in the Army, she commented that the Bavarians used different words than they used in Berlin. Madchen is one word she heard different in Bavaria. Madlen is said in Bavaria.

Both terms refer to Magd originally. It is maiden or maid in English.
