Art style: Flat 2D vector countryball animation. The German Empire ball is shown in a war setting. It features horizontal black, white, and red stripes. It is topped with stiff dark hair and a large, upturned black handlebar mustache. Its eyes are angry and glow with a sinister red light. A rifle is positioned below it. The background is a chaotic scene of falling orange sparks, fire, and dark smoke. Red lightning bolts flash in the background. The text THE GERMAN EMPIRE is written in white at the top. The lighting is very dark, with the glowing eyes and fire providing the only illumination. The textures are gritty, with the mustache appearing sharp and well-defined. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Flat 2D vector countryball animation" style.
