Die Vereinigten Konföderierten von Rheinland Gemeinschaft
The United confederations of the Rheinland Commonwealth
Culture and Society
They are a modernized German Empire, and are living in the wastes of the Rheinland. Worms is their only remaining city. They are stout and battle hardened people, and all able persons must serve a 6-year term in the military. Being that they are entirely focused on taking back Berlin, few people have time for art and culture. What remains of their culture is mostly modern German elements, with quite a few callbacks to pre-WW1 German Empire.

Wood, brick, and other building materials.Food/Water sources
Lake Constance is their primary water source, and various countryside farms assure that they at least won't starve.Strengths
Defendable position
The city of Worms has 30 ft deep trenches on all sides of it. Various tram systems can carry the farmers to the countryside if need be.Wiling Populace
The population burns with rage at the Fourth Reich, a Neo-Nazi terrorist group that has taken over Berlin. They swear that they will conquer them, and even civilians proudly curse in their name. Weaknesses
Resource Trapped
The citizens of Rheinland know their fate, that is to take over Berlin, or starve. Farms are already beginning to wield less and less produce, and metal supplies are dangerously low.Insurgents
Fourth Reich insurgents believe it is their duty to conquer Mainz. They utilize suicide bombers, grenade launchers, bomber planes, and have even tried to utilize a stolen nuke. These attacks have crippled the Rheinland.History
After breaking away from a Neo-Nazi Germany, they have established a capital at Worms in 2070. They are now sworn enemies of the Fourth Reich. They are also in a resource-life-death-grapple with them for the last of Germany's resources. In 2080, 10m trenches were dug around Worms and almost all resources were moved there.The Germanic regions are fairly mutant free as most have migrated to Moscow. When a mutant slips past Berlin, it is usually native to Moscow. Occasionally, the Fourth Reich will use them as bio-weapons, but they are very uncontrollable.
