		Germany, West, common name of a former republic of central Europe, bordered on the north by the North Sea, Denmark, and the Baltic Sea; on the east by the former East Germany and the Czech Republic; on the south by Austria and Switzerland; and on the west by France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
		It was established officially as the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG; German Bundesrepublik Deutschland) on September 21, 1949, as one of two successor states—East Germany (officially the German Democratic Republic, or GDR) being the other—to the nation of Germany after its defeat in World War II (1939-1945).
		The official capital of Germany, Berlin (formerly the capital of East Germany), is scheduled to take over some of the federal government functions by the year 2000.

		However, Stoiber's recipe for success, with a mix of direct-talking social conservatism and modern economics, of the widely touted "laptops and lederhosen" model, is unlikely to fit so comfortably with Germany as a whole.
		Finally, his economic reputation in Bavaria is not quite as pristine as his Christian Social Union (CSU) party likes to portray it, with question marks, for example, over the role of the conservative regional government in the fall of the once-sprawling Kirch media empire.
		Germany's first chancellor candidate from the east, Angela Merkel, ran into fresh electoral problems in the crucial ex-communist states Thursday after a key ally bashed the region's "frustrated" voters.
