    00:30 Germany is actually one of the countries that gives the most paid vacation, parental leave, sick days and period days for women. They are just good in separating their private live with their work live. People also don't overwork like* in Japan, SKorea or the US.

      It has also been proven that working for more than 6 hours a day decreases productivity. Most of the time you'll become sloppy and need to invest time into fixing mistakes you made today the next day.
      That's the entire secret behind German efficiency and why they need half the time to do a better job than most others.

    The reason "Germany" has so many names is partly due to all the different Germanic tribes.
    The Alemanni to the south (French) (Alemanni might mean "All people" like the standard German "Alle Menschen")
    The Saxons to the north (Finnish)
    The Polish word probably came from a proto-slavic word meaning "foreigner" or "mute" or "not us"
    The word "Deutschland" is a cognate of the English "Dutch," which means the people but then evolved into being Germany.
    The word "Germany" came from Latin when Julius Caesar called these Germanic tribes "Germania"

      ​@@junejulien8845 I don't think it came from Italian. Most trace it back to proto-germanic "Theudisk" and when German's þ became d it became more like Deudisk. Then the di dropped and the sk became ch or something like that. I think it went that way because Iceland, a very conservative language, calls Germany "Þýskalandi." Which is corresponds well with the sound shifts that German went through.

And even under soviet rule Poland maintained it's official alliance with Japan and to this day they are officially allies. They are bffs.

    Germany has so many names because it only (relatively) recently united. As such names for different parts of (Modern) Germany are used for the whole country.
    Names similar to 'Diutisk' (Deutschland, Tyskland, etc.) derive from the Old High German name for tribe of the same name.
    Names similar to 'Germania' (Germany, Djermani, etc.) derive from Julius Caesar's name for the tribe east of the Rhine river.
    Name similar to 'Alamanni' (Allemagne, Alemannia, etc.) derive from the name of the Upper Rhine tribe of the same name.
    Names similar to 'Saxon' (Saksa, Saksamaa, etc.) derive from the name of the North Sea tribe of the same name.
    Names similar to 'Němĭcĭ' (Niemcy, Německo, etc.) derive from the Proto-Slavic word for a foreigner.
    Names similar to 'Vokietija' (Vācija, Vuoceja, etc.) probably derive from either the Proto-Indo-European word meaning 'To speak unintelligibly' (wekw) or the Southeastern Swedish tribe (Vagoth). However, the origin of 'Vokietija' and it's friends are a bit more disputed.

Our economy is based on everyone. You surely heared of the german Mittelstand. These are Family leaded industries. nothing big but everyone does there best. And the Cars are just huge. But still it only makes up around 1 million jobs if you count everyone from workers in the Factory to the ones who produces them. So mostly because strong economy. But today it`s more and more populare to reduce the working time to 4 works day a week. Normally we have 40 hours a week but some say we should reduce because studies show that in the 4 days or 6 hours the workers work much more. And some germans would also take less income. But we still have really much workers in the „Niedriglohn“. Wich means only 10 euros an hour ( about 11,87 US Dollers). And now it`s a politicle race about make the income up to 12€ an hour (14,24 US Dollers) or not. Because if you want to be secured in Future you need 12 € an hour for money in the old age or for reperations at your home. Or school stuff. Only then we are 100% secured. But if the inflations goes up like now we soon need 12,50€ or even more an hour. But what comes we have to wait. But the Economy will work because of everyone in there own Family owned Buisnesses with workers.

    Honestly, that first meme isn't terribly realistic, Japan has a really weird relationship with Poland where they essentially have waifu'd Poland. Japan sees Poland as "The Samurai State of Europe"
    Hell, during WWII, Japan actually refused any and all attempts to go to war with Poland, to the point of actually rejecting the Polish Declaration of War against them when they joined.

      Actually not all Saxons migrated. Many of them stayed. Over time the name "Saxony" moved a bit to the east. Now there a 3 German states that call themselves "Saxony" (Lower Saxony, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt) so the Finns aren't completely wrong.
