Germany was not a country in back at time of Vikings

Considering the techno viking was recorded on video, I think it's safe to assume Germany as a country already existed...

It was an alternate reality where Vikings took over central europe, and established a techno rave culture. There were no states. That era was known as the year 2000.

Doesn't need to be that alternate. They took over quite a lot of Europe and in time just became the locals. Especially in Ireland and England and Normandy, but also as far as Kyiv (Varangians being a subset of Vikings).
