The German Democratic Republic, (Deutsche Demokratische Republik in german) is an ex-macronation that formed in 1949 and became a micronation in 1990 with the german unification when the rest of the GDR unified with the German Federation. The GDR continued to exist on the East German Ernst Thälmann Island, which wasn't included in any documents during the unification. After 50 years of no development, the Reformatory Party of GDR went to the island and claimed it as the RDRG.
The Reformed Democratic Republic of Germany was a self-proclaimed republic, that claims to be the leftovers of the GDR and plans on reuniting with its homeland. It is also in a reformatory state which means it is going to develop with modern society.
Ante-1990 History
Explaining the internal impact of the GDR government from the perspective of German history in the long term, historian w:Gerhard A. Ritter (2002) has argued that the East German state was defined by two dominant forces – Soviet communism on the one hand, and German traditions filtered through the interwar experiences of German communists on the other.[30] The GDR always was constrained by the example of richer West, to which East Germans compared their nation. The changes implemented by the communists were most apparent in ending capitalism and in transforming industry and agriculture, in the militarization of society, and in the political thrust of the educational system and of the media. On the other hand, the new regime made relatively few changes in the historically independent domains of the sciences, the engineering professions, the Protestant churches, and in many bourgeois lifestyles[citation needed]. Social policy, says Ritter, became a critical legitimization tool in the last decades and mixed socialist and traditional elements about equally.[31]
