643:-Technically it was a state. Not a country, an artifically created state that collapsed as soon as the people of the country (Germany) were asked whether or not they wanted one state for their one country. They did. 565: 505:
I've just noticed that the article doesn't mention the building of the Berlin Wall (though it does mention its fall). Clearly still a work in progress then, despite my cleanup of the financial situation...
