Three years after Munich nuclear disaster, economy was in disarray. Over eight millions people have been displaced in other lands of Germany, with some of Bavarians and Austrians fleeing towards Kingdom of Czechia, Hungary or Croatia. Cost of clean-up nearly bankrupted German state, which began to demand payback of whole war reparation from France and post-British states, while imposing greater costs on Reichspakt countries for German bases on their soil. Space program was halted, naval arms race with CSA was reduced but still costed a lot of money. Growing insurgency in France, social upheavals in other puppet states started to be too much for national economy to sustain. Extraordinary conscription for use of soldiers in Munich clean-up angered the youth who did not want to die of radiation poisoning. On 1989 millions of Germans disgruntled with conservative government took the streets in Leipzig, with local German garrison refusing to supress them.
Chancellor of Germany Lothar de Maiziere and Vice-Chancellor Hans-Dietrich Genscher sign agreement with protestors. Last remnats of Prussian three-part electoral system were abolished, all political parties legalized and federal elections called.

She woudl lead Germany towards social and political reforms that have shaken the world.
