The relations of the German government with Fenspace is best described as being pragmatic. With several smaller groups in Fenspace having closer ties to their homeland then others, combined with a relatively good initial press for Fenspace, the Government tends to largely ignore what is going on in Fenspace ever since signing the Kandor Treaty and taking their sweet time to make new laws.
While access to Handwavium is restricted to the Max Plank Institute for Exotic Materials and the Bundesnachrichtendienst, 'waved items only need a license to own. In most cases this license is easily obtained, safe for items that may be used as weapon.
With a small space port in the Ruhr Area Germany can be easily accessed from Fenspace, through fen are advised to get the correct permissions for a landing and a reasonable flight plan before trying to land there. Generally it is only needed to file the request two days before the targeted date with the German Air Control.
One reason for the more pragmatic approach of Germany to Fenspace is a good going export of German goods into Febspace, as Germany generally keeps good relations with trade partners.
Main export articles are beer, various machinery, beer, tools, various alcohols (including beer) and beer.

There is a small space port facility in the Ruhr area of Germany; however fen are strongly advised to contact German Air Control at least 48 hours in advance. This allows sufficient time for all paperwork to be filled out and filed and a flight plan generated that minimizes the risk of accidental 'waveium contamination of the population at large. This is not to say that this is a cast iron requirement for using the field, however your reception will be much less cordial if you fail to 'phone ahead'.

One reason for the more pragmatic approach of Germany to Fenspace is a strong ongoing trade of German goods into fenspace and a return flow of harder to find raw materials of all sorts.

Hmm... spaceport, unrestricted autobahn... 600kph-capable motorcycle. Are you pondering what I'm pondering?

Nice writeup, I suspect that by the time you read this, it'll already be on the wiki.

The relations of the German government with Fenspace is best described
as being pragmatic. With several smaller groups in Fenspace having
closer ties to their homeland then others, combined with a relatively
good initial press for Fenspace, the Government tends to largely ignore
what is going on in Fenspace ever since signing the Kandor Treaty and

While access to Handwavium is restricted to the Max Plank Institute for
Exotic Materials and the Bundesnachrichtendienst, 'waved items only need
a license to own. In most cases this license is easily obtained, except
for items that may be used as weapon. Biomods are not presenting much of a problem, however larger parts of the population will show negative reactions to the presence of an obvious biomod. This is largely due to the influence of the largest German 'newspaper'.

There is a small space port facility in the Ruhr area of Germany;
however fen are strongly advised to contact German Air Control at least
48 hours in advance. This allows sufficient time for all paperwork to be
filled out and filed and a flight plan generated that minimizes the

On some days the 'Rhein Ruhr Space Port' is picketed by (for European standarts) far right and far left groups. In one or two cases fen where injured by the protesters. There is also an unusually high concentration of unmarked black vans parked close to the space port with absolutely no relations to the CIA or other intelligence agencies.
Of note are the relative high chances to be mock chased by US Air Force interceptors while flying near Rammstein AFB.

You think?

Or maybe they become Liederhosen, which compel you to sing while you wear them.

I would think that being forced to sing bad Volksmusik may be considered Joker-ish...
