I feel like this has been explained a lot... "Germany" does not come into the picture until 1871 (more than a century later from now), during the rise of Chancellor Otto von Bismark and the beginning of the German Empire. In 1745, however, "Germany" is just a wide land occupied by various Germanic kingdoms, most notably Prussia, Saxony, and Hanover.
