"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. I'll post the results down below this comment.
