| - The Greater German Reich (German: Großdeutsches Reich), more commonly known as Germany, is a single-party presidential nation-state in central Europe. The nation, with a population of around 90,000,000, has a moderate, seasonal climate and is one of Europe's leading industrial, agricultural and scientific powers. Formed following the appointment of Adolf Hitler to the chancellery on January 30, 1933, his government managed to consolidate power, and eliminate opposition groups from the national stage with the passing of numerous acts in the national legislature (the Reichstag). After the death of President Hindenburg on 2 August, 1934, Hitler became sole leader of the German state, merging the positions of President and Chancellor to become the sole Führer (leader) of Germany. After the Yellowstone Eruption of July 18, 1936 and the first of the volcanic winters of the Decades without Summer, famine was induced, leading to discontent among many citizens. This led to the general mobilisation of the army (Wehrmacht), and the return to stability in mid-1937. The three years that followed saw an increase in territorial invasion and annexation of nearby nations in an effort to acquire farmland to feed the citizens and new territory to resettle the German population. The violence and conflict that marked this period would later become known as the Great European War. Currently, Germany has been described as a single-party "totalitarian dictatorship" by many international observers. The ruling National Socialist German Wokers Party (NSDAP) has often been called out for frequent human rights abuses such as the silencing of political opposition, the state ownership of many large businesses and executions and imprisonment without a proper trial. The party has also been attacked on their anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant, and extreme nationalistic views, exemplified in the stance of the nation's President and Chancellor, Günter Deckert and Udo Voigt respectively.
