Formed in the wake of the Yellowstone Eruption, it is the successor state to the Provisional Government of the Third Reich which in turn was a successor to the Nazi German State. It was formally established following the left-wing's victory in Berlin during the German Revolution, and the flight of a number of high ranking Nazi officials to south-Germany, who dissolved the provisional government on May 5, 1941, with Hermann Göring, then incumbent President of the Reich, declaring the newly established State of Germany as a successor to the entirety of the Third Reich.
