Bismarckism

State Socialism (referred to here as Bismarckism to avoid confusion with the broader, non-German specific ideology of the same name) is an Ideology from the late 1800s which mixes the ideals of  Paternalistic Conservatism and  Monarchism, which is based off of the political and economic program of Otto Von Bismarck. Otto Von Bismarck was known to be the man who kickstarted Conservatism  in  Germany. Bismarck is viewed to be a hero by many due to unifying the German States, forging the modern German Identity, challenging both the authority of Austria within the German sphere, and leading Germany against the French Empire in the Franco-Prussian war.

Bismarckism replicates his ideals and beliefs in German Nationalism and Unity, Prussian Warrior Spirit, loyalty to the Kaiser, Realpolitik, military advancement and efficiency, and bringing Germany to the forefront of the European and making it a true power. His beliefs mingle with Imperialism when it comes to the colonization of Africa and other far off lands in the name of Germany.

Personality
Bismarckism is moody on the surface but if you get to know him, he's a sweetheart who is really patriotic about Germany. ALWAYS has a plan. He also is portrayed with the personality as Otto Von Bismarck.
