Which state took charge of the former west Germany?

This question makes the incorrect supposition that country of West Germany does not exist anymore. West Germany was the common-person's name for the country officially called the Federal Republic of Germany. When Democratic Republic of Germany (East Germany) collapsed in 1989, the Federal Republic simply absorbed the territory. Since there were no longer two Germanies, people stopped calling the Federal Republic of Germany as "West Germany" and simply as "Germany". However, the government of the Federal Republic of Germany did not change in any meaningful way (aside from having more territories).
