As Herman walked out onto the balcony of the palace he lived in, he was proud of the town he had built. He had created an empire all by himself, with a couple of friends, of course. As the old saying went, "Rome was not built in a day". Herman did not care about petty Rome, they had fallen to barbarians after all. Berlin was also not built in a day. But Herman did not care. He admired his empire, and all the citizens in it.
The sound of drums filled the air as Berlin's newly trained soldiers marched out of their barracks, fully equipped in armor. These men would serve as Germany's army, defending their homeland in times of danger. The men were equipped with Germany's finest bronze and iron axes and swords. They proceeded to make their way out of Berlin to a large grassland, where they would set up camps and live until they were needed in battle. In the expansive part of Herman's empire, they had sent 2 bands of settlers to settle in the north-west and the north-east. Towards the south they were pushed back by other tribes and great mountain ranges. The groups of settlers were accompanied by longbowmen, the German's main type of defense.
When Herman awoke one fine morning, one of his guards told him he had to meet a great leader. A bit drunk, Herman stumbled out and greeted the mysterious leader with a slurred "Who the hell are you?". The leader responded with "Why, I am Ragnar of the Vikings!". Of course, drunken old Herman had to blurt out "They sound like a bunch of pricks", which resulted in the great, alcoholic leader of Germany getting a bloody, broken nose, a black eye, and a anger towards him by Ragnar.
As Germany grew larger and larger, the amount of different cultures entered. The other tribes to the south-west of Berlin had joined Germany, and Herman was successful in settling 2 other towns, Aarhus and Riga, bringing his total settlement count to 4. With other cultures entered different religions, the main one being Christianity. Louis XIV of France and Isabella of Spain both begged Herman to declare Christianity as Germany's state religion. He accepted, and Germany succeeded in becoming a Christian civilization, as Herman now called his group of settlements, along with France and Spain also being Christian.
