The '''SS-Order State of Burgundy''' (German: '''''SS-Ordensstaat Burgund''''') is probably one of the most nightmarish realms ''The New Order'' has to offer. Located in western Europe and formed out of what was previously northwestern France and Belgium, the Ordensstaat borders [[Germany]] proper and [[Switzerland]] to the east, [[Reichskommissariat Niederlande]] and the English Channel to the north, [[France]] to the west, and they also have a short border with [[Italy]] to the south. Although the country itself is part of the Reich on paper, in reality it is a completely separate entity.
Burgundy is run by a native branch of the Nazis' fanatical paramilitary force, the [[Schutzstaffel]] (SS), who profess complete and undying loyalty to the SS's head, [[Heinrich Himmler]]. The country itself is a totalitarian state that preaches a fundamentalist version of [[National Socialism]] known as the [[Burgundian System]]. This ideology sees traditional National Socialism as corrupt, decadent and inefficient, and seeks to revitalise it through a system of state spartanism and extreme militarism.

== Gameplay ==
Burgundy itself is a very isolationist and secretive state to the point it does not have any interactions with the outside world whatsoever, with the exception of France and certain victors of the [[German Civil War]]. Indeed, the country is so secretive that unless they are being controlled by the player, all of their national focuses will read "STRENG GEHEIM" (German for "TOP SECRET"). The most notable interaction Burgundy has with the outside world is an [[Franco-Burgundian
Their gameplay mainly focuses around maintaining the Ordensstaat's internal stability employing a series of investigations, mainly against the [[Red Poppy Movement]], the main resistance group operating within Burgundy's borders.

Prior to the ''Unfinished Business'' update Burgundy was much larger than its current extent at game start, starting with the territories it presently controls after the invasion of France is complete - and after the invasion, prior to the update it could seize control of the Normandy, Centre Val de Loire, Auvergne and Limousin regions, relegating the French State to the southern third of the French metropole.
Originally Burgundy played a much greater role in the TNO universe. Through a series of ''Globalpläne'', designated as ''Kondor'', ''Wolf'', ''Löwe'', ''Bär'', ''Drache'', ''Sonne'', ''Adler,'' and ''Puma'', Burgundy could destabilise the currently existing global order in an attempt to bring about the world-ending thermonuclear war, which would wipe out "degenerate races" and leave Aryans as the sole inhabitants of Earth. These were ultimately removed for realism purposes, Globalpläne still exists in some form in the final game but they are just minor ideology upticks.
Originally Burgundy was represented in-game as a German puppet state, but this was ultimately reworked because of the HOI4 mechanic that allows puppet masters to request troops from their puppets - if Germany requested troops from Burgundy and then sent them somewhere remote (such as Africa), it could lead to Burgundy getting defeated by France during the invasion, which would derail the mod's Burgundy lore.
If Burgundy collapses at the start of 1970, Germany will be allowed to intervene in the [[Burgundian Civil War]] provided the Führer is either [[Albert Speer|Speer]] or [[Martin Bormann|Bormann]]. After Burgundy's defeat, France will demand the return of its territory, and Germany will be given the option to return the land in exchange for influence over France or set up a collaborationist state known as [[Paktkommission Frankreich]]
* However, if the Red Poppy Movement wins the Burgundian Civil War, this choice is not granted - instead the Burgundian territories will be immediately annexed by France.
Strangely, if one looks in the file folder where Burgundy's leader portraits are stored, they will find a portrait of American video game designer Todd Howard in an SS uniform. Given that Howard was not born until 1970, this is likely a mean-spirited jab at him.{{Template:Starting Countries}}
