Otto von Bismarck II, great-grandson of the legendary leader, smiled with relief as the election results were read out.
He had just followed in his famous ancestor's footsteps - he was now the Chancellor of Germany.
"People of Germany, I thank you for electing me to be your leader in this uncertain time. I pledge to you that I will create jobs and massive improvement in our economy, that I will work tirelessly for peace in our world, and will push the limits of space exploration, as well as improving our education and culture for the good of us all!
"That is all, we have all had a long and exciting night, now let's get some rest so we can wake up tomorrow and begin the dawn of a new era in Germany!"
