Overview of Germany
Capital: Berlin
Currency: Euro
Location: Germany is located in the middle of Europe, bordering Netherlands, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic, and Poland. The U.S. is located in the middle of North America, bordering Canada and Mexico.
Size: Germany has an area of 357,022 square km. The U.S. has an area of 9,629,091 square km. Given the fact that the U.S. is much bigger than Germany, the U.S. has more available land, or natural resources, which can be manufactured into finished goods that boosts its GDP, or the value of all of the finished goods and services produced in a country.
Population: Germany has a population of 83,652,256, which is much lower than the U.S.'s 322,583,006. The greater population of the U.S. gives it more available labor, or work from people, which can be used for manufacturing goods and services and boosts its GDP. At the same time, the GDP per capita, or how much each person produces on average. wouldn't change as much, if at all, because this larger GDP would be divided among a larger population.

Recently, a survey was conducted to see what are the top 10 sought after corporations for European engineering and business students. German companies were half of the top 10 among the engineering students, but there wasn't a single German company that made it into the top 10 for business students. This emphasizes just how much of a global leader Germany is in terms of engineering and manufacturing. Those are its main economic sectors and it's has great footing on the global market thanks to them. Germany regularly gets trade surpluses and has a very good image among non-German people. However, it could use some work on the business side of things. Its poor performance may have been a result of how the government has its education system set up, which may be trying to emphasize engineering from a young age and leaving a gap in business, as well as other sectors.
