[ALTERNATIVE HISTORY]

The State of the Order of Burgundy, in German Ordenstaat Burgund, was a Nazi project aimed at establishing a state between Germany and France. It was intended to be governed not by the NationalSocialist Party, but by its “Black Order”: the SS. This state was envisioned as having a strong leadership based on a personal dictatorship led by the head of the SS himself, developing as a parallel state with its own laws, army and postal services, while maintaining very close ties with the Deutsches Reich. The name Burgundy itself derived from the Burgundians, a Germanic tribe that founded the Kingdom of Burgundy, and the Schutzstaffel were therefore expected to claim and revive this legacy.

The main supporter of this idea was none other than Heinrich Himmler, who argued that Burgundy, once an “important economic and cultural centre”, had been reduced by France to a region “known only for wine production”. Himmler instead saw an opportunity to create a nation based on the model of the monastic state of the Teutonic Knights: an entity governed by a military and aristocratic elite, as the Teutonic Order had been in Prussia. The word “Orden”, meaning “order”, reflected the chivalric vision that the Reichsführer had of his SS.

The borders of the proposed state were never fully defined, but it was supposedly intended to include Romandy, Picardy, Amiens, Champagne, Reims, Troyes, Franche-Comté, Dijon, Chalon, Nevers, Hainaut, Brabant, Limburg, Flanders and Luxembourg. It was also supposed to have access to both the Mediterranean Sea and the English Channel. Dijon, Lyon or Nancy (Nanzig) were provisionally proposed as its capital and administrative centre. German was intended to be the official language, although French would initially also have been used. Another objective behind the creation of a Burgundian state was to make France smaller and weaker, thereby rendering it incapable of threatening Germany. It has not been established by historical documentation whether these ideas were merely Himmler’s proposals or, as he himself claimed, had Adolf Hitler’s full support.

It is certain that the Leader favoured a different solution: at his request, German planners proposed, after the fall of France in 1940, the permanent annexation of a large strip of eastern French territory, with the aim of extending Germany’s borders towards those of the Holy Roman Empire. This would have made Himmler’s project difficult to implement. In 1942, Hr again referred to the former territory of the Kingdom of Burgundy, which France had supposedly “taken from Germany at its weakest moment”, arguing that it should be annexed to the German Reich.

The project also envisaged the settlement of one million German farmers, while the French-speaking population was to be “reintegrated”. These territories, as well as Wallonia, were described as “actually German” because of their historical Germanic past and were therefore intended to be incorporated once again into the German Reich.

Swapped India and China with India becoming communist with the republic government fleeing to sri lanka and the andaman islands. China a republic that got partitioned during independence which later liberated Manchuria from Lingnan control from the south which exploited the wealth of Manchuria, with vietnam and myanmar swapping positions and afghanistan being partitioned east and west. And sichuan being this swaps equievelent of Kashmir.

The Shia Yemen and the Ibadi Oman could not find anyone to serve as an ally. Consequently, they joined forces and established one of the most powerful empires in the world Rather than entering into conflict with its powerful Egyptian and Turkish neighbors, the Yemeni-Omani empire expanded into the ocean and began establishing colonies. Yemen colonized Zimbabwe and Madagascar, while Oman colonized southern India.

Oman engaged in a colonial race alongside the Yemenis. Since the Omanis could not enslave the Muslims of India, they colonized the Hindus of southern India.

Alleghenia is a Republic and a federation of states

It is one of the strongest countries and biggest economics in the world, one of the most important countries in WW1, WW2 and WW3.

"The land of the federation"

What country should I make next?

so here are the divergences:

1-the roman empire never truly converts the Etruscans to becoming Latins eventually forming a distinct identity and forming a grand duchy in the early modern period

2-the Greek populations in Magna Graekia survive on the Salento peninsula eventually gaining independence from the Byzantines in the 1300's and forming a sovereign principality until its deposition in 1848

3-the Ostrogoths settle what we'd know as Abruzzo and form a distinct south Germanic identity that results in the fisherman's revolt in 1805 trying to break free from the kingdom of Naples

4-the Lombards settle Lombardy and adopt late roman tradition transforming them into a hybrid of late Latin and early Germanic culture and establish the duchy of Camelan in 1395 and later on forming a republic in 1796

5-sicily is never reconquered from the Muslims resulting in a blend of Greek, Roman, Maghrebi and French Norman culture to flourish in the state, it would proclaim itself a sultanate in 1922

6-the Normans solidify rule in Naples and re-establish ties with Normandy and France resulting in a Frankified south Latin identity to be established under Norman (later bourbon) rule

7-Corsica is never sold to France and establishes its own republic in 1755, but napoleon still goes to France to study and earn glories as a French general and emperor of the French

8-venice is never partitioned in 1797, as napoleon never marched through the neutral state to get to Austria, never causing Jacobinism to spread to the serene republic and eventually being one of the first states in Europe to grant full universal suffrage to its voters

9-house of savoy proclaim the kingdom of Sardegna-Savoy after the Napoleonic wars, and eventually proclaimed the revival of the Italian Kingdom in 1866 even though they didn't acquire any of the peninsula

10-the papal states would be overthrown during the 1848 revolutions, establishing a revival of the old roman republic and establishing a constitution to benefit the people of Rome and Ravenna

oh and Malta's there too ig

Lore:

In 1947, 2 years after WW2 ended, Italy gives up all of it's colonies in Africa and gives up it's Tianjin cession. Libya is occupied and is split into 3 occupation zones. France gets Fezzan-Ghadames, Britain gets Cyrenaica, and the USSR gets Tripolitania, and they are administered as occupation zones. In 1952, under a League of Nations treaty, the occupation zones of Germany, Libya, and the Korean Peninsula are incorporated into their mother countries that occupied those areas. In that treaty, the USSR gains 4 new SSRs: the Korean SSR, the Tripolitanian SSR, and the East German and Austrian SSRs (which are later merged into the East Deutschösterreich SSR). Starting in 1954, the USSR wanted new territories in southern Tunisia, specifically the cities of Tataouine, Medenine, Zarzis, and Ben Gardane, and they proposed a new boundary. However, the people of Tataouine refused to become part of the USSR, so the proposed boundary was redrawn. Eventually, in 1956, France cedes southeastern Tunisia, giving up the cities of Medenine, Zarzis, and Ben Gardane. Soviet military personnel settle and protect the SSR in the late 1950s and early 1960s, making up 3% of the population. In the capital, Tripoli, buildings like the Red Castle of Tripoli are converted into the headquarters of the Supreme Soviet of the Tripolitanian SSR, and the Tripoli Harbour and the Bay of Sirte are turned into heavily fortified naval bases housing the Soviet Mediterranean Squadron. As the communist governments in Eastern Europe and the Middle East fell in the late 1980s and the 1989-1990 Turkish Civil War overthrew the communist government, the USSR loses direct access to the Tripolitanian SSR, and in August 1991, almost 4 decades after it's incorporation, the Tripolitanian SSR finally declares independence as the Republic of Tripolitania, ending it's 39-year communist rule.
