Germany shares its borders with nine neighboring countries: Denmark to the north, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg and France to the west, Switzerland and Austria to the south, and the Czech Republic and Poland to the east.
The Cold War led to the division of Germany into an eastern part, the German Democratic Republic (GDR, also called East Germany), and a western part, the Federal Republic of Germany; a border divided the two sections.
Unlike the U.S., however, the Federal Republic has both a president, who acts as head of state, and a chancellor, who runs the federal government.
