Why don't we split up the german nation in different germanies?
1. Reich (Karl der Grosse 800 - 17xx)
Preussen, Bayern, Schwaben ... (-1871)
Deutsches Reich (-1945)
Bundesrepublik Deutschland

All could have different flags so i don't see small problems. Only the
big one that someone has to do it *g*
