The Einheitspakt, also known as the Unity-Pakt in international circles, is a military and economic alliance that consists of the Greater Germanic Reich's puppets, clients and allies the vast majority of whom are fascist. The key objective of the Einheitspakt is to maintain Germany's sphere of influence, while also preventing rival factions from expanding. Members of the Einheitspakt trade with other members, and neutral nations; the Pakt leverages an extensive embargo over other aligned and non-aligned nations, which while in theory should bolster economic self-sufficiency, has led in practice to economic fragility and struggle in the economy of Pakt states and extensive black markets for foreign goods.
The Einheitspakt can be considered as the successor to the original Rome-Berlin Axis; it shares a majority of the original members of the Axis and can bring other former collaborator states into the fold.

Master of Europe |
The Einheitspakt, referred to in international circles as the Unity-Pakt, is the Pan-European alliance of the Nazi Order. Gone is the old order of decadent states and degenerate corruption - in its place stands now European Brotherhood and Unity, guided by German hegemon. The Pakt consists of many charters, detailing the economic, military and political relations of its many member states, each ultimately designed in German interest. With its unparalleled control over European affairs, the Pakt is truly the linchpin of European destiny - and the Reich, the Master of Europe. |

Bündnispartner |
A Bündnispartner of the Greater Germanic Reich, this nation has seen the wisdom in peaceful cooperation and mutual assistance with Europe's greatest empire and joined the Einheitspakt as an equal partner. Now seen as an ally of the Reich on the global stage, it is subject to the plethora of treaties and responsibilities the alliance subjects it to. Even though the quest for brotherly unity is stated to be the reason for membership in the Einheispakt, it is more often than not the lure of economic prosperity and safety that draws nations into this not-so-equal relationship. |

Pakt Observer | This nation is one with close ties to Germany and its fellows in the Einheitspakt, and having been granted observer status within the organization. While maintaining its independence from the Pakt, this nation is given the privilege of participating in some Einheitspakt programs and activities, while in turn sharing some of the Pakt Members' responsibilities and obligations. |
| ||
Ordensstaat |
Unique among the Pakt, this nation is a Ordensstaat, a military administration controlled exclusively by the SS. While formally politically, militarily and economically part of the Reich as a whole, under the ultimate command of the Führer, in reality, the Ordensstaat is little more than a private fiefdom of the Reichsführer-SS, Heinrich Himmler. Little information is revealed to the public on the inner workings of the Ordensstaat , but rumors abound of total and complete control of the citizenry's actions, words and even thoughts. the illusion of German control over the Ordensstaat is a shaky on, and but a single spark could set the whole thing ablaze... |
| ||
Mitstreiter |
A proud Mitstreiter of the Greater Germanic Reich, this nation has thrown off the shackles of degeneracy and entered into a new age. Now regarded as a close brother-in-arms in the fight for European Unity and Prosperity under the Einheitspakt, its fate is intertwined with Germany's. Germania insists this is a mutual and prosperous relationship. although in truth the so-called brother-in-arms serves more as an instrument than an equal partner. |
| ||
Marionettenstaat |
This nation is a Marionettenstaat, an ostensibly independent member of the Pakt. So close is the brotherhood between this country and the Reich that they vote wholly in each others interests during Pakt Councils, closely following the lines put forward by Germanian representatives. There are Germans in the streets, at business ventures, in the barracks, and in the Halls of Government - such is their support for the Pan-European ideal. The Mitstreiter all are close brothers-in-arms of the Reich, but the Marionettenstaat are even closer, dancing at strings' end to the Horst-Wessel-Leid. |
| ||
Military Authority |
Established under a series of treaties between Germany and its host state, the Military Authority receives its orders directly from the offices of the Oberkommando des Heeres. With its special authority it manages near all affairs of it granted territory, providing oversight in police operations, intervening in local government, and above all watching its host for any sign of indiscretion. It is by these means that the Military Authority is known to be the most pronounced arm of German control. |
| ||
Protektorat |
This nation is a Protektorat, the vestige of a former nation now almost fully integrated into the Reich. By Germania's account, the Protektorats are special regions of the Reich chosen to administrate themselves and to manage their affairs with some degree of autonomy. However, under this facade of autonomy rests a system of economic and political control ultimately drawing back to Germania. Their economies commanded by German companies, their politics closed with German stamps, Protektorats are the extended shadow of the Reich. Not all provinces of the Reich bear the name, and Protektorats might yet too. |
| ||
Autonomous Reichskommissariat |
An Autonomous Reichskommissariat, much like its Integrated alternative, is not a nation but rather a colonial administration employed by the Greater Germanic Reich to prepare it for its inevitable annexation. Headed by a Führer-appointed Reichskommissar, these administrative regions have been granted a degree of autonomy from the usually close oversight from Germania, either due to their distance from the homeland or regional particularities. The guise of autonomy applies only to its elite, and what they do with it is theirs only to decide. |
| ||
Integrated Reichskommissariat |
An Integrated Reichskommissariat is a colonial administration employed by the Reich to prepare it for and close to annexation. The administration is increasingly being tied to that of the Reich itself, to the point that business and people now flow without issue across their boundaries. Similarly the increasingly more political appointments within this Reichskommissariat's administration are only one of several signs of whats to come as a soon-to-be province of Germany. |
