Here's a new, experimental project! Once more, this is for the
Hearts of Iron IV mod
The New Order: Last Days of Europe. This one, though is following a hypothetical scenario involving France and none other than SS Ordenstaat Burgund itself, and how it would implode
without either global nuclear Armageddon, Hermann Goering winning the German Civil War, or a Reinhard Heydrich outcome. The DeviantArt version
can be found here.
While this map doesn't really have much in the way of proper lore, I wanted nonetheless to see how I could try to change things up a bit more, whether through aesthetics, the gif format, or the effects. That being said, the borders and general colors should give an indication as to what happened both in Burgundy and the rest of Europe.
At any rate, this is a work of fiction. This is not a political or ideological screed. Depiction is not endorsement. All rights belong to their respective owners.
All the same, hopefully you enjoy this as much as I had making it!

The Crisis itself and its initial breakdown is a reference to the "Burgundian Civil War" event in the
Scions of Darkness submod. As for the colors:
- Purple is Heinrich Himmler's SS-Burgund
- Light Purple is Bert Eriksson's SS-Langemarck/Vlaamse Nationale Staat
- Gold is Léon Degrelle's SS-Waloonien/Belgian National Union
- Teal is Christian de La Mazière's SS-Charlemagne/Nouvel État Français
- Red is Henri Grouès' socialist Red Poppy Movement
The last outcome is a nod to
TNO: Rising From the Ruins, hinting to the GO4 winning out in Germany.
The glitching effects were done through
Photomosh.
