When people speak of Germany of the Middle Ages, what they are usually referring to was the Holy Roman Empire. The Holy Roman Empire was formed, like France, from Charlemagne's empire, but unlike France, it was not run by a single leadership from a single royal court. Instead it was a sort of confederation of nations descended from Germanic Tribes, which formed into kingdoms and provided decentralized leadership. The emperor was elected, and did not have as much authority over the kings beneath him as the Kings of France or England had over their nobles. Furthermore, some of the kings who owed allegiance to the Holy Roman Emperor, only did so for portions of their holdings, and had other allegiances elsewhere. And an additional problem was that the popes established a measure of dominance over the emperors.
This changed to some extent with the reformation, after which the the influence of the pope became greatly diminished, and the emperors were no longer elected but inherited their titles. Nevertheless, the kingdoms within the empire retained a lot of power and independence.

What three Nations rose During The Middle Ages?
I would pick England, France and Germany as the Holy Roman Empire, but other countries might arguably be as good or better to choose. Actually, most of the nations we think of in Europe rose during this time. At the start of the middle ages, England, Scotland, Wales, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Poland, Russia, and Austria did not exist. Germany is descended from the Holy Roman Empire, which did not exist. France was a kingdom of Franks. Spain was called Spain, but the nation had not been established until it had become the Kingdom of Visigoths, which was overrun by Moors and Arabs and the reconquered by the Spanish descendants of Visigoths and the Romans they had conquered. Italy did not exist as a unified nation during the middle ages and arose later.

After the Unification of Germany in 1871, Austria was not unified as part of it, which caused major revolts in many Austrian cities.
