Federal Republic of Germany (FRG)

The Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) is the official name for modern Germany, a country in Central Europe. It was established in 1949 after World War II, when Germany was divided into East and West. The FRG refers specifically to West Germany, a democratic nation with a parliamentary system, a market economy, and a commitment to human rights. It reunified with East Germany in 1990, forming the current unified Germany. The FRG emphasizes democratic governance, rule of law, and being part of the European Union and NATO.
