Please review the following articles to get acquainted with the countries, individuals, ideologies, political parties and alliances that shaped the world from the point of divergence in the 1920s until the start of 1962. Has the light of hope been extinguished for good by the Nazi victory? In the titular "New Order," a shroud of darkness hangs over the world that is as black and empty as an open grave. The world now hangs on a thin wire that could snap at any moment, with the result being nuclear war and the destruction of human civilization. The other superpowers, America and Japan, have developed their own nuclear weapons, creating a three-way Cold War between the German-led Einheitspakt, the America-led Organization of Free Nations, and Imperial Japan's Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. Iberia, Italy, and Turkey, the former allies of Germany in the Mediterranean, formed the Triumvirate to counteract Germany in response to their increasing hostility and the failure of Atlantropa. The alliance between Germany, Italy, and Japan collapsed shortly after the war due to mounting tensions and conflicting interests. In the world outside of Germany, the international scene is significantly worse off as a result of the Axis victory. The kindling is in place for a fire to burn down the whole Reich and perhaps the rest of the world along with it. The internal politics of the NSDAP have grown increasingly bitter and adversarial due to an elderly Hitler's deteriorating health, with the intense factionalism reflecting the broader rifts in German society. From his headquarters in Ordensstaat Burgundy, he plots to implement his vision of a purer, fundamentalist version of National Socialism across the entire Reich. The Reich struggles to reassert control over its unruly eastern colonies and a massively powerful SS, which has effectively gone rogue under Heinrich Himmler. Germany's economy experienced a disastrous crash in the 1950s from which it has never recovered. Over the first thirty years of a golden age that Hitler promised would last a millennium, the Reich has gone from being the world's preeminent superpower to teetering on the brink of collapse. In reality, these are dire times for the thousand-year Reich. It ought to be invincible and unbreakable. For all intents and purposes, the Reich is at the top of the world. Such is their power that they've fully embraced the Atlantropa plan and reshaped the Eurasian continent at their will. America was humiliated under a combined assault from Imperial Japan and a nuclear-equipped Germany. The Soviet Union has shattered into several dozen warring splinter states. France and England are German puppet states. World War II ended with a Greater Germanic Reich dominating all of Europe.
