Germany

Germany is a country in central Europe with a population of about 84-million and the largest economy in the European Union. Its capital is Berlin. The country is a federal parliamentary republic comprising 16 states. Germany is a major industrial and export-oriented economy, with dominant sectors including automotive manufacturing, mechanical engineering, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and renewable energy technology. The currency is the euro. Germany is a founding member of the European Union and plays a central role in European economic and political integration. It is also a member of the Group of Seven (G7), the Group of Twenty (G20), the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (Nato) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. The country has positioned itself as a leader in the global energy transition, with ambitious targets for renewable energy deployment and decarbonisation. Germany's Energiewende (energy transition) policy framework has driven significant investment in wind, solar and hydrogen technologies. The country is a major trading partner for many African nations, particularly South Africa, and German companies are active across the continent in sectors including mining, energy, infrastructure and manufacturing. Germany was reunified in 1990 following the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War.
