C: Socialist Republic of Germany
Socialist Republic of Germany (capital: Berlin):
The president (current: Wilhelm Pieck) is the head of state. The government is the Ministerrat, its head simply the Vorsitzender des Ministerrats (Otto Grotewohl), who appoints the ministers. The parliament, the Volkskammer, is elected once in five years (first free election was in 1950); they make the laws and have to approve the appointed government. Until the US interfered in 1949, the government was really controlled by the leaders of the Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands (SED) under Walter Ulbricht. The SED was founded in 1946 when the SPD was forced to unite with the KPD. In 1949, the parties split again, and Ulbricht (meanwhile "the most-hated man of Germany") also had to resign as the head of the KPD.
Most of the economy is nationalized - only small firms and farmers with less than 100 hectars land weren't expropriated. The new government didn't change those decisions, although they promised that there won't be any further expropriations. They also didn't change the structure of the government with its many ministeries (one for each branch of the nationalized economy).
Parties:
Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands (SPD), led by Ernst Reuter
Christlich-Demokratische Union (CDU) (christian-conservative), led by Otto Nuschke
Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands (KPD), led by Wilhelm Pieck
Liberaldemokratische Partei Deutschlands (LDPD) (liberal), led by Karl Hamann
Demokratische Bauernpartei Deutschlands (DBD) (farmers), led by Ernst Goldenbaum
Results of the first nation-wide and free election:
SPD: 39
CDU: 29
KPD: 13
LDPD: 16
DBD: 3

And now the last news: In 1952, in both West and East Germany the centralist government dissolved the länder and replaced them by Regierungsbezirke ("administrative districts"). It's probably only coincidental, but both countries have 17 each.
