#15-Not Quite what You'd Expect It seems that in many worlds, the Nazi party wins the Second World War, becoming a Great Power, or a Hellhole, depending what universe it happens to be in. These Third Reichs have things like Atlantropas, Weird Sciences, and Cold Wars with the Japanese. This world has all of that.
The year is 2025, and this world is in the midst of its Cold War, an era of tensions between the Third Reich and the Greater East Asian Cooperation Sphere. It is quite unlike our cold war, since both sides are comprised of only massive empires, because, in this world, the only places independant of the former Axis are South America and parts of the Pacific and Africa.
First, we will cover the Third Reich. This nation comprises of Europe, Southern Asia, Africa, and parts of North America. The leader is technically Hans Richter, the 4th leader since Adolf Hitler passed away in 1951. The territory they control of divided into a mess of Gaue, the traditional states, Reichsland, government administred states, Ordenstaats, SS Ruled areas, Reich Protectorates, and a plethora of other sorts of regions, all who, roughly, look up to the Fuhrer. In this totalitarian state, a massive bureaucracy rules over the people, as well as the SS, Army, and the GS, or religious division, who feud with each other quite a bit. The population of the Reich is rather higher than in many worlds due to their eventual acceptance of the Celts and French, who, in some cases have been "Germanized". The culture of the Reich is slightly similar, due to attempts by the government to create a uniformily German nation, which is made up of Pre-Nazi German, English, and American culture. All over the Reich, people speak "German", which by now has elements of Dutch and English, and has attempted to purge all non-German words from its lexicon. Though this language is the official language, around the Reich, people speak different dialects, using different slang. In some cases, the government has even attempted to reintroduce dead languages, like Old English, in Gau Northumbria, and Lombard in Gau Lombardei.
The Reich has streched into Africa, damming the Mediterranean, in hopes of creating a new place to settle. Though that process began in 1980, it still is not done, although there are signficant new islands in the Mediterranean. The plan does not include the complete terranization of the sea, but rather the expansion of land, and the keeping of the sea in certain areas, to assist for transport. The water is to be diverted into Central Africa, where a massive ocean will be created, and the Qattara depression. Most of Africa is Reich territory, but only a little of it is actually set aside as "Settler Land", with the rest being administrated colonially, although that does not stop the natives from disappearing. The South is controlled by an Afrikaner-run "Federation of South Africa". Australia is a German supported state, mostly because the locals do not want to be integrated into Japans empire.
South Asia, as in, Arabia through India and parts of Central Asia are also parts of the Reich. In Arabia, the Nazis decided the Arabs were probably Iranians that ended up speaking a Semitic language, and decided to allow them to live as citizens, so some of those regions are now integrated fully into the Reich, but in the Emirates and Iran, the Germans allowed the local Monarchs to keep their positions, and admitted them as "Specially Administered Reich Protectorates", basically just a fancy way of saying they have representation in Berlin, but a monarch. Islam is still around, and there seems to be little objection to that. In India, the Nazis allowed the locals to live, although Dravidian speakers had to go underground. The Sanskrit language from there was even adopted by some Reich leaders, who hailed it as the true script.
The Americas are another area where the Germans have put their stamp. In the 50s, German and Japanese forces began the invasion of North America. The Germans took land east of the Rockies, and the Japanese the West, with a DMZ in the center. The Carribean was made German, with the Japanese and Germans splitting Central America. South America is mostly German puppet states, with Integralist parties in charge. The Former US is a mix of Gau, Ordenstaats, and Protectorates, with some areas having more local control than others. Generally, after the invasion, US English, Germanic, and Celtic peoples aligned with the Germans, seeing them as a best option for the time. The Germans went to work there, getting rid of Jews and other minorities. Because of this, they were received well in the South, which now has its own fully functioning, democratic Gau. In the cities, things were harder, and there are still occasional uprisings. In the Plains, there has been a lot of settlement and weird large environmental projects. The Indians there are apparently being looked at as the descendants of the Iranians.
Religion in the Reich is very undefined. There is no official church, however, the leaders of the country, and indeed the people are split between a few different religions. Christians make up a high proportion of the population, however, Catholics are not viewed as highly as Protestants. There is still a Pope in Rome. Another part of the German population follows reconstructed German paganism. This reconstruction takes into account the old Germanic tales, of Odin and Siegfried, but also integrates in Hindu and Zoroastrian thinking, such as Reincarnation. This religion was created by members of the elites back in the 50s, and they managed to spread it around, but they never established an official hierarchy, so priests are merely people who decide to be one. There are also all manner of people in between, that worship Jesus and Odin, while there are fringe cults, and in the Celtic regions of the Reich, people who have recreated that ancient religion. The German government is currently working on the creation of a Caste System, in which everyone in the Reich will be placed, and will do certain jobs, the leaders will become hereditary then.
Japan is at the center of a vast East Asian Empire, officially called the Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity sphere. This Empire controls Siberia, China, parts of India, Indochina, Indonesia, parts of Oceania, Hawaii, and Eastern North America as well as the heart of the Empire, Japan. This Empire is controlled by the "Greater East Asian Race", Japanized Chinese, Vietnamese, and Koreans. They hold the power in the GEACPs and act as aristocrats, holding shares in the Zaibatsu that dominate that countrys economy. The Japanese government is based around the Cult of the Emperor, and soldiers are fanatically loyal to him. The government is multi-party, although the Imperial Rule Assisstance Association still controls the majority of the government. In Japan, a national religion is held in the form of State Shinto, which has adopted many aspects of Buddhism as the Japanese have expanded.
There are not many areas not under control of the Reich or The Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. A few islands in the Pacific are populated by former Americans and British, intermarried with the locals, while some parts of Central Africa are under the control of local tribe leaders, or sometimes old Europeans. The area immediatly east of the Urals is controlled by the remenants of the Soviet Union, which carries on the fight against Japan and Germany, although they will never be able do much more than take the mountains there.
