^^^^^^
The second is right, because it was founded about one month later than
the "first", but I would consider "the *other* German country" better.
May be "second" is as twisted as "democratic" and such type of language
is always used in human societies - believe me I know both now.
Sorry, couldn't resist and will not continue this very OT thread.
Kind regards
