| - 1930: Justice Party forbidden in Germany. By this way, the government wants to avoid them coming too close to take power in 1931. However, instead of them, the new Morale Party is founded. 1931: The elections (see below) result in a deadlocked parliament - neither the left nor the right nor the centrist parties can form a government, since there are too many differing groups in the parliament around. Now, the German military secretly meets with several corporate leaders. After the conference of Paulskirchen, they decide to strike. On the _th, the military occupies government buildings and declares to govern the country "in a coalition of the experts [...] until all the problems are solved". Shortly after, the new cabinet is presented: Six generals represent the resorts for army, navy, air force, armaments, occupied lands and infrastructure (logistics); corporate representatives have the ministries for economy, labor, housing and finances; other posts are held by bureaucrats or professors. Democracy and several basic rights (freedom of press, of striking, of demonstrations) are suspended, leaders of left-wing parties arrested or put under house arrest. Germany is declared a technocracy. 1932: Along the German-Russian border (i.e, the east border of German-controlled lands), construction of the Henrichlinie begins. The first story of "Theobald the Technician", a series for boys with interest in science and techniques, appears. 1933: New school system introduced: School enrollment starts at the age of five; Grundschule (primary/elementary school) and Hauptschule (high/secondary school) take five years each; for boys, there's firearms training in the higher classes; for especially gifted kids, the new technical schools (with the emphasis on math, science and of course, techniques; cryptography is also taught) are introduced. Government critics point out (well, if they could) that this is quite similar to what happens in Greater Italy and Russia. 1934: The German empire is re-divided: Instead of the old lands (which from now on only play a role for traditional clubs), cities and villages there are now regions (15 to 20 million people), precincts (about one million) and districts (~50,000 - either a part of a bigger city or a collection of villages). Some traditional Germans in the country aren't happy if they're put together with their local rival communes, but they can't change very much. 1936: Olympic Games in Franzensburg (OTL San Francisco). 1938: Poland, Greater Bohemia and Hungary (have to) join an economical and financial union with Germany. 1939: The big cities of Poland and Hungary are connected to Germany with the new highway system.
