Seeing how there is a similar tread for Japan it might be interesting to discuss in some more depth the changes that could be made for Germany. I would propose the following.
UA - Holy Roman Empire
Each puppet Germany has decreases its unit maintanance by 5%. Germany will also receive 2 :c5gold: and 2 :c5science: for each puppet it currently has.
UU - Panzer
Replaces Tank. Essentially kept the same.
UB - Military Factory
Replaces Factory. The military factory will give additional :c5production:, going from 10% to 15%. It will also increase :c5production: by a additional 15% when producing military units.
Basicly this will mean that Germany will start out weak but by creating puppets they can grow exponentially more powerfull. (Holy Roman Empire). And later in the game the factories will provide the means for Germany to quickly create a large army and basicly allows them to Blitzkrieg with the Panzers as well.
So this change would take a unique mechanic in the game, puppet states in this case, and make it a core mechanic for the faction. Providing a fresh and interesting experience similar to the newer factions we have. It also better represents Germany's superior industry and strong military. And also allows Germany to go the science route, seeing how some of the greatest scientists were German (Einstein). Though the main focus would still lie at the military route.
Also these numbers are a gues for now and may need to be balanced in order to work.
