East Germany
The official name of East Germany was the German Democratic Republic. It was a communist state aligned in the orbit of the Soviet Union.
The Allies of World War II divided Germany into four zones of control after the war -- each zone occupied by one of the Allied nations -- Britain, France, the USA, and the USSR. The same thing was done for the city of Berlin, which was in the Soviet-controlled zone (East Germany). East Berlin was governed under Soviet control, and West Berlin was governed by the western Allies -- Britain, France and the USA. The British, French and American sectors were combined into West Germany (and West Berlin), and the eastern area became "East Germany," a satellite of the Soviet Union.
There were numerous similarities.
One is that the government system was the same. Although the confederate state placed higher value on state rights than the northerners did, both sides had clearly divided separation of powers and the three branches that constituted checks and balances, as the framers of the original constitution had intended when they were writing it.
They had a very similar social system as well. Although they separated on the question on slavery, the people who weren't slaves lived in a very similar manner. There was a clear class distinction and the numbers of people who belonged to different classes like the upper, middle, and lower, were similar in both sides of the war.
They had a similar military as well. This is where they were the most similar. The weaponry was almost the same and the generals often went to same schools and knew the same things regarding leading an army because they had been working together before the war began. Their behavior was almost the same because of the heavy influence from the West Point school of military which influenced the development of both militaries.
