Germania is a large empire to the far north on Memeworld governed by EDFan12345. Unlike other kingdoms and settlements, it is medieval-themed and has a strong RP element to it. Signs indicating RP sites are marked by either a [!] symbol or within * marks. Germania is generally accepted to be the most detailed nation on the server.
History[]
Construction of Germania began in early December 2015 at approximately the same time as Vynland. EDFan traveled far to the north so he could build in peace, away from the other noobs on the server. The first major construction was the blasting away of the mountain that would later become Castle Germania using TNT. After crashing the server several times (which may or may not have in fact just been Isai's incompetence), the main hall was carved into the mountain and Germania (then known as Stone City) was officially founded. At that point, Germania was intended to be entirely contained within the mountain as a subterranean city, but this idea was discarded when EDFan began converting it into his castle.
Germania City was constructed four separate times. The first time, it was a single building that was deleted when Isai was being a scrub and stopped hosting the server. Ed later reconstructed the town in a single player version of the world that he uploaded as the main Memeworld save. The town was rebuilt a third time into a more medieval-looking village, which it remained for several months. Germania City was rebuilt a fourth and final time into its current city, which is larger than all of its previous iterations. Several houses were saved, however, and pasted in several locations around Germania.
The only way to get to Germania from spawn at this time was by a railway line, the longest on the server. The rails were far above the ground, and cut through both the Cactus Kingdom and Pumaslavia (as the line was built before either of these two countries) before making a 90 degree turn towards Germania. Initially made out of sandstone, the line was later turned to stone brick after exiting the spawn desert in order to better fit the country's aesthetics. Ed was eventually the first person on Memeworld to remove his railway line to spawn since it was in the way of the path he wanted to build. This later caused Stubal to salt because he was the only person to actually use it. The railroad's functionality was replaced with a small cart near the sub that teleports people to an identical cart in Germania.
Over time Germania was expanded from a castle and single nearby city to a large kingdom with a dozen cities and villages across the northwest of Memeworld. By the time Memeworld updated to 1.15, Ed was continuing to expand Germania even larger with the goal of creating very large settlements at each corner of the kingdom.
Background[]
Germania is a medieval kingdom that stretches from the center of Shrek's Swamp to the shores of the Ceres Ocean. Overall it makes up an area of over 550,000 square blocks which makes it the largest country in Memeworld. Germania directly borders Vynland and Pumaslavia, with the rest of its borders being vague frontier or coastline.
A series of roads criss-cross the Germanian countryside known as the Attavic Highway. These roads connect every major settlement within Germania, As of February 2020, it is possible to walk on foot from New Blocky City to the northern coastal settlements in Germania. Similarly, with the construction of a number of canals and tunnels, maritime travel between most of Germania's waterways and each ocean is possible.

Lore[]
In addition to the general Memeworld """canon""", Germania has its own lore that ties it with some of Ed's other projects such as Heaven and Telanir.
Germania has close ties to Telanir, with a Telaniri embassy existing near Germania City.
Major Locations[]
Castle Germania[]
The first location constructed in Germania, the castle is carved into a mountain and is home to a large number of rooms. Henry the Golem stands guard near the entrance to the castle, scrutinizing every visitor without saying a word. In the main hall of the castle is the castle merchant, entrance to the Smithy, Throne Room, and several hallways. One side of the entrance leads to a covered bridge which extends to a neighboring mountain, inside which is the castle chapel.
The throne room is located up the main stairs, and is one of the largest rooms in the castle. It is filled with Germanian flags, suits of armor, and the main throne. To the side is the primary dining hall, which is linked to the castle's kitchen through a side hallway.
Near the main entrance is the main hall, through which the castle theater and secondary halls can be accessed. On the sides of the main hall are various rooms including a smaller library and theater. At the end of the main hall is the grand staircase which features a large chandelier, smaller dining room, and the castle barracks and sparring room.
To the side of the main hall is another hallway which leads to a side entrance of the castle, through which the ballroom can be reached. The ballroom is the only other separate external building of the castle, and overlooks the dark oak forest. Below the ballroom are the catacombs which extend deeper into the mountain.
The castle library is located through a hallway near the end of the throne room. It is filled with many stories and tomes, some of which written by the residents of Memeworld. There are also chests filled with many unique and named items and artifacts, along with recovered items from Skogkatten. Near the library is the castle garden which overlooks the castle entrance.
Because parts of the castle have been redesigned several times, there are many inaccessible rooms and hallways that have been sealed or built over.
