Germany officially the Federal Republic of Germany is a country in Central and Western Europe. The people, language, and traditions are what make the German culture unique. It has had a key role in the history of Europe, and not only. English speakers call it Germany, Germans themselves call it Deutschland. Germany is known as the country of poets and thinkers. German people have a reputation for being disciplined and punctual.
