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.

=== Initial proposal ===

Although the name "Burgundy" has been used for hundreds of years to refer to a region in ~~western~~ France, the concept of Burgundy as an SS-ruled state was first proposed by the SS, notably Heinrich Himmler, following the 1940 Franco-German armistice. Ultimately the proposal did not go anywhere and the lands of Belgium and Northwestern France would be annexed into the Reich proper upon the conclusion of the war.

== 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 [[Burgundian ~~invasion of France~~|invasion of France]] that they will launch once the German Civil War has broken out - a war that, given the sheer power disparity between the two, Burgundy is guaranteed to win. They are also heavily involved in [[Reinhard Heydrich]]'s pathway should he win the Civil War.

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.

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.
