Reichtangle is a fictional character that represents a possible future version of Germany, where it becomes a totalitarian and expansionist empire that tries to annex or destroy other countries. The name Reichtangle comes from the combination of Reich, which means empire in German, and rectangle, which refers to its shape. Reichtangle is usually depicted as a tall and slender rectangle with small white dots as eyes, and sometimes with a swastika or an iron cross on its chest.
Reichtangle originated from the Polandball comics, which are a popular internet phenomenon that use spherical or other geometric shapes to represent different countries and their stereotypes, relations, and history. The comics often use broken English and humor to poke fun at various political and cultural topics. Reichtangle first appeared on the /int/ board of Krautchan.net, a German imageboard, in 2009, as a way to mock Poland's fear of Germany's resurgence. Since then, Reichtangle has become one of the main antagonists of the Polandball comics, as well as a recurring character in other countryball-related media, such as animations, games, and fan art.
Reichtangle's personality is usually portrayed as aggressive, menacing, and obsessed with anschluss, which means annexation or unification in German. Reichtangle often says "anschluss" or "guten tag" (good day) as its catchphrases, and sometimes makes references to Nazi Germany or the German Empire. Reichtangle's main targets are Polandball, Franceball, UKball, Russiaball, and Israelcube, but it also threatens or attacks other countries that oppose or annoy it. Reichtangle is also shown to have some allies or friends, such as Omskbird (a bird-like version of Russia that shares its imperialist ambitions), Sentineleseball (a primitive island nation that hates outsiders), or EUball (a union of European countries that Reichtangle sees as its puppet).
Reichtangle is not to be confused with German Empireball or Nazi Germanyball, which are normal spherical countryballs that represent Germany's historical states. Reichtangle is only the Fourth Reich, while the Second Reich and the Third Reich are separate entities. However, some sources may use Reichtangle to represent both the Second and the Fourth Reichs.
Reichtangle is a fascinating and controversial character that reflects both the fears and the fantasies of Germany's role in the world. It is also a source of creativity and entertainment for many countryball fans who enjoy its dark humor and absurd scenarios.
