Germany is the largest economy in europe; the most populous nation in europe west of the Urals; the centre of the biggest language area of europe (over 120 million German-speakers); a leading member of NATO; a key particant in the group of 7/8 industrial nations and it has one of the most outstanding records in culture and technology.
Germany pays a substantial financial contribution to the United Nations (it always pays on time unlike many other member states of the United Nations) and it should have been given a permanent place on the United Nations Security Council decades ago.
