Ushering in a new era
From The New Order: Old World Blues
Ordensstaat Burgund (Order-State of Burgundy) is an SS-controlled state split off of the Western parts of the Reich, in what was once Eastern France and Belgium. Originally conceived by SS leader Heinrich Himmler, Himmler and his faction of the SS were forced to accept Burgundy and remove themselves from the German political scene after their attempted coup.
Under the madness of Himmler and the Burgundian SS, Burgundy became Himmler's private playground to build his radical totalitarian Spartanist society. Himmler's Burgundian System turned Burgundy into an isolated kingdom of nightmares the world had never seen before.
While officially subservient to the Reich, Burgundy's true master is Himmler alone. The insane leader, dreaming of a new world of purity, plans for an armageddon on an unimaginable scale. With their actions shrouded in intense secrecy, Burgundy's shadow looms upon the world, driving the world ever closer to the dawn of the doomsday.
Dark Is Evil: Himmler's Burgundy is the single most evil country on the planet, and their flag and map color are both pitch-black.
Death Is the Only Option: To win as Burgundy, you should strive for Himmler's goals and let the entire world burn in nuclear fire. Otherwise, Burgundy will just be dismantled as soon as Himmler dies.
Empty Quiver: If Heydrich is losing the Civil War, the Burgundian divisions will attempt to steal several nuclear weapons for Himmler's... personal use. If Heydrich wins the Civil War, he will supply Burgundy with a sufficient number of nukes for Himmler's ambitions.
The Friend Nobody Likes: While Burgundy is nominally a part of Unity-Pakt, they do not answer to Germany and are secretly working against Germany. Because of this, as well as the fact that Himmler got Burgundy as a result of an attempted coup, most German leaders see Burgundy as a traitorous rogue state.
Keystone Army: Himmler is Burgundy and Burgundy is Himmler. Should Himmler die, Burgundy collapses quickly afterwards.
Kick the Dog: After the start of the German Civil War, Burgundy will declare war on the French State to take their land. Burgundy doesn't really have a need for more land (in fact overextending their administration hurts them), and the French State is far too weak to pose any sort of resistance to Burgundy. Burgundy more or less does it just because they can.
Painting the Medium: To represent the intense secrecy of Burgundy's operations, Burgundy's tree is completely hidden when playing any other nation.
Playing Both Sides: In several conflicts, like a war between Göring's Germany and Sweden, Himmler is happy to provide aid to both sides.
Purple Is the New Black: It is not like Burgundy has a shortage of black, either, but purple is also widely used in Burgundian focus icons, and the color of the Burgundian system on the ideology chart is also purple.
Renegade Splinter Faction: Himmler's SS-land Burgundy is de facto independent from the Reich's control. They are also so insanely radical that just about everybody inside Germany except the German-SS hates them.
The Spartan Way: Burgundy is built on the ideals of Himmler and it shows. The Aryan people in Burgundy are under constant watch, obliged to serve in factories or the army, are not allowed to have too many luxuries and experience constant rationing. Needless to say, for non-Aryan people (about half of the population of Burgundy), the situation is even worse.
State Sec: Burgundy is the personal fiefdom of the SS.
Heinrich Himmler
In the 1950s, the Reich was in deep trouble. Their economy was crashing, and they were losing the West Russian War. Heinrich Himmler, having been loyal to the Nazi Party for decades, had a crisis of faith. He became convinced that National Socialism was a failed ideology; it was corrupt, decadent, and far, far too soft, and he saw it his mandate to bring Germany back on course again. From Paris to Moskow, Himmler's Schutzstaffel prepared to topple the government and take control of the Reich.
The coup was a failure, thanks to intervention by Hans Speidel's loyalists; however, Himmler's SS was too strong to simply be dismantled, and so Himmler's plans for Ordensstaat Burgund were fulfilled, and Himmler and his branch of the SS had a place where they could live out their mad fantasies without disturbing Germania. When the 60s came, Himmler and Burgundy became more isolated, more powerful, and more unhinged. With loyal SS cohorts across Europe, Himmler's grand plans are closer to completion than ever before.
Bad Boss: Himmler doesn't tolerate failures and treats faulty subordinates in a pure Spartanist manner. Heydrich can learn it the hard way.
Big Bad: As the manipulative instigator of nuclear war between the superpowers, Himmler serves as the main villain of the mod. As long as you have some control over the situation, one of the main goals in the mod is not falling for his schemes and preventing a nuclear apocalypse (unless, of course, you're playing as Himmler).
Dragon-in-Chief: Formally, Burgundy is a subject of Heydrich's Germany. In reality, Germany under Heydrich becomes a de-facto puppet of Himmler.
Evil Overlord: Checks all the major boxes: a powerful despot with significant resources sitting in a fortified, secluded, and oppressive kingdom, planning for global destruction.
Final Solution: Himmler sees non-Aryans across the world as a problem, and his solution is a global nuclear war that would exterminate all non-Aryans.
Kicked Upstairs: Himmler was put in charge of Burgundy to distance him away from German politics as far as possible. For Himmler, that only meant he had to strive for his goals behind the curtain, and the military potential of Burgundy is more than expedient for his plans.
Hidden Agenda Villain: Himmler's actual agenda is known only to Himmler himself and his very narrow circle of supporters. Even Heydrich, his protégé, isn't aware of Himmler's true motives.
Misanthrope Supreme: Himmler hates almost the entirety of humanity (aside from a small group of Aryans) whom he deemed as sub-humans and he is absolutely willing to subject the world to a nuclear holocaust in order to completely exterminate them.
No Place for Me There: Himmler believes that he doesn't deserve to live in the post-nuclear world and allows himself to die during the nuclear apocalypse.
Omnicidal Maniac: Himmler seeks to destroy all lesser races, as well as the entirety of human civilization, through nuclear means, so the Aryans can restart the world, recolonize the Earth and create a utopia.
Sanity Slippage: Age, horrifying experiences during the West Russian Revolutionary War in the 50s and watching over the slow decline of the Reich made Himmler more and more entrenched and certain of his Spartanist and omnicidal beliefs, with the German Civil War being the breaking point for him.
Thanatos Gambit: Himmler doesn't see himself as Aryan enough to deserve living in the post-nuclear apocalypse world and he considers himself and Burgundy perfectly disposable as long as his plan proceeds.
