AH: Nazi Germany Today

Insipred by USA & CSA Today, I started this challenge with Nazi Germany Today. It's up to you if Germany stays with the Nazis or becomes democratic.
 
So, the idea here is that the third reich survives until the present in some form?
I would say "no OTL WWII defeat". Nazism survives and evolves on it's own (either continues to present day or Germany somehow returns to democracy, which I do find unlikely ITTL).

So, the Germans win the war, but is it allowable to use a version of the country which never goes to war with the USSR?
 
A surviving Reich will just become more N.Korea esque in appearance. It'll lose its slight tech edge from the 40s very quickly. The U.S becomes the worlds superpower with China,Australia,India,S.Africa and SE Asia doing as good or slightly better than OTLs present.

Surely you mean DDR-esque? It would take several decades of rule by absolute madmen to make a major industrialised nation in the middle of Europe look like North Korea. I'd think after the first generation of Nazis as we know them die off or become incapacitated, people with at least a little more more sense will take the Party over - or the nation collapses in short order. Germany can only go so far with Hitlerite policies. Therefore if there is a Third Reich in 2009, it will have to look at least somewhat like a Brezhnev rather than a Stalin USSR in terms of the general sanity of internal as well as foreign policies. It will be poor, comparatively, but I doubt it suffers constant famine like North Korea does.
