"Weimar" German Republic

The German interim government agrees to the treaty, realizing they had literally no other choice (both IN game and OUT game), and signs it.

- The treaty was overwhelmingly unpopular with the people, however this does not affect anything other than Germany's declaration of their "Swissist policy" (the old Swiss policy of unconditional neutrality).

- The government, with no worries of alliances and other complicated diplomatic doo-hahs, focuses on repairing the broken economy. It begins on funding interests and helping in recovering important banks and companies. Plus, they allow in international companies to help this as well.

- Wilhelm III leaves his throne, with a large crowd of 1.5 million people going to the recently funded new city of New Kaiserstadt (in honour of the now lost city to the Venezuelans and the gone ruler)

- The Germans also have their first completely free, democratic elections. The centre-right CDU gets a majority, closely followed by the SDP and the FDP. The KPU does weak due to the fact that no major communist state had been formed prior to the treaty signing, thus not many people were confident in this new ideology.
