* State Mandated gf [[labelnote:Explanation]] A reference to some rather infamous incel community rethoric, thanks to the presence of an early game focus in[[HeroWorshiper Lazar Kaganovich´s Tyumen]] called [[BureaucraticallyArrangedMarriage "Wives for Soldiers"]], where he can choose to arrange state marriages between single women and Red Army soldiers, as well as his overall [[StayInTheKitchen traditional values policy regarding women's rights]] in his version of the USSR.

* Shock Therapy [[labelnote:Explanation]] A reference to Boris Yeltsin's infamous policy of reforming Russia's socio-economic fabric from OTL. In TNO, he not only implements a very similar plan decades ahead of schedule and under the same name, but in an ironic twist of fate, it leads to a fairly prosperous and democratic Russian Federation. That he retains his notorious [[VodkaDrunkenski drinking habits]] from real life doesn't help matters. [[/labelnote]]

* X with Y characteristics [[labelnote:Explanation]]A reference to "Socialism with Chinese characteristics", the broad term for the ideology of the CCP. Due to the amount of Realpolitik lying in front of more likely leaders and the esoteric beliefs of darker horses, it's common to describe the resulting ideologies in this format — particularly if it results in an absurd combination, i.e. "Fascism with Mongol Horde characteristics" for Gumilyov or "Libertarian Socialism with authoritatian characteristics" for Sablin and Bukharina.[[/labelnote]]

* [[DroppedABridgeOnHim Killed by a sledgehammer]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]When some person asked in Discord about the fate of UsefulNotes/LeonTrotsky, the lead developer answered them that Trotsky was killed by a sledgehammer. Since then, "killed by a sledgehammer" has become the stock answer to explain what happened to historical figures not present in the game. "Sledgehammering" also describes retroactively killing figures off because the developers forgot to include them in the game, such as Joseph Goebbels.[[/labelnote]]
* [[TemptingFate REALLY GOOD IDEA]][[labelnote:Explanation]]The [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TNOmod/comments/92l02e/development_diary_xv_boers_and_border_wars/ South African War]] dev diary describes the creation of the Central African Republic to rule over former German African territories as a REALLY GOOD IDEA. The term has since been applied to any bad idea that a player can obviously tell will end in failure, but the leaders in the game are totally oblivious.[[/labelnote]]
* Comrades, is X not Fascist?[[labelnote:Explanation]]A meme template based on the [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TNOmod/comments/bjmmph/panzer_on_the_orenburg_council/ Orenburg Worker's Council]], which [[NotSoOmniscientCouncilOfBickering is extremely inefficient and often breaks down into people accusing each other being Fascists]].[[/labelnote]]
* "Speertard"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A riff on the word "libtard", originating from Heydrich-themed parodies of Turning Point USA memes, eventually evolving into Heydrich-themed parodies of far-right stereotypes.[[/labelnote]]
** "Schmidtard" [[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]A derivative that emerged after the mod's release, wherein Speer's route, the Gang of Four and in particular Helmut Schmidt are the primary drivers behind Germany's liberalizing reforms, and it turns out that Speer never truly believed in liberal reform to begin with.[[/labelnote]]
* Guss [[labelnote:Explanation]] A cowboy leader of America from an [[https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1298954107 unrelated mod for HoI IV]] who was featured [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1P-dnNlMCA in one of the dev-released videos]] as the leader of "Radical Left NPP Cowboy Coup" and became beloved by both the developers and the community. Guss uses the appearance of Ol' Jim Cathey, a cowboy poet from Texas.[[/labelnote]]
* This Isn't Working [[labelnote:Explanation]] A reference to the focus trees of the [[https://i.redd.it/bmuq6pcn54x11.png DSR]] (and, to a lesser extent, [[https://i.redd.it/8p0b6kxxz5231.png Azad Hind]]), who in their quests to eradicate any trace of Nazism/Bengali identity respectively commit what basically amounts to auto-genocide. The term has since come to be used in reference to those who realise that they aren't getting anywhere with their killing... so the solution is clearly to double down![[/labelnote]]
* Calm The Hell Down! [[labelnote:Explanation]]A reference to the "Bend To Segregationists" path for [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/474738073549144066/534705902968766475/nixon_civil_rights_tree.png "The Civil Rights Dilemma" of Nixon's Focus Tree]] - which, due to the InMediasRes nature of his presidency, [[WhatCouldHaveBeen he can never take]] - with the final focus named this showing a picture of an angry Nixon, with the implication that [[TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong he's blaming everybody who's protesting/rioting against him for turning America into an Apartheid state for the mess his policies are creating]]. And in most {{Fanon}} interpretations, [[DeathByRacism this results in Nixon being assassinated]], [[AllohistoricalAllusion in a way not too dissimilar from his VP JFK]].[[/labelnote]]
* South America is a void/nothing happens in South America. [[labelnote:Explanation]]After the mod's developers confirmed that ''The New Order'' would not include any content whatsoever for South America at launch, several users took to use that sentence as a meme, making a jab at how alternate history fics frequently ignore South America. Sometimes, fans also joke about this being an actual lore element in the mod, with South American countries having a CozyCatastrophe during the apocalypse because [[TallPoppySyndrome everyone forgot to nuke it]] [[InvertedTrope thanks to its irrelevancy]] (and then going on to [[TakeOverTheWorld take over]] [[DarkHorseVictory the world]]), or even the entire continent being literally [[GroundhogDayLoop frozen in time]], as a reference to a certain [[https://www.deviantart.com/alexandernorthah/art/Nothing-Happens-in-South-America-787283748 alt-history short fic]].[[/labelnote]]
* Big building in Neu Berlin/:panzersbreakingpoint:[[labelnote:Explanation]]One day, discord user Baxter asked a question in the former #ask-a-dev channel on the official TNO Discord. The question said "[[https://www.reddit.com/r/TNOmod/comments/92gguy/madlad_finally_breaks_panzer/ can you create neu berlin with that giant building]]" The question, answered in the very first dev diaries, broke Panzer on the spot, who proceeds to [[{{Angrish}} rage]] in the channel (while Baxter replies "oh thank you"), and shuts down the channel soon after. The incident soon became a meme in the community, and an emote called ":panzersbreakingpoint:" was added to the official Discord server referencing that incident, which is often used as a response to something that would drive the developers crazy.[[/labelnote]]
** Reichskommissariat Mittelmeer[[labelnote:Explanation]]A nation that existed in [[https://www.moddb.com/mods/a-new-order-last-days-of-europe/images/image-1#imagebox super-early]] TNO builds, when the ''entire'' Mediterranean was drained and the Germans set up an RK on it headed by Karl Dönitz. The sheer ridiculousness of the situation resulted in RK Mittelmeer becoming a meme, and the face of ancient TNO lore.[[/labelnote]]
* Speer Hoodie[[labelnote:Explanation]]A shitpost topic that pops up on the subreddit from time to time, usually as a response when users ask if TNO will have merch like Kaiserreich. [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TNOmod/comments/e9bzjy/speer_hoodie/ Originated]] from a memetic exaggeration of a line in Speer's bio: "The students have turned [Speer] into an icon, his face being held up on picket signs and ''printed on shirts''."[[/labelnote]]
* Burgundian Crocs[[labelnote:Explanation]]Similar shitpost merch idea.[[/labelnote]]
* "Sane Path"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Another common shitpost snippet, discussing the possibility of a "sane path" for some horrific country like the DSR, Burgundy, or Omsk. "Does [random horrific country] have a sane path?" are usually newbie questions on the TNO discord/subreddit, and shitposters quickly caught on and turned the format into a meme (an early "sane path" question on the subreddit even briefly became a copypasta), since questions of this kind ''really'' grinds the devs' gears.[[/labelnote]]
* The Funny Countries/funni countri[[labelnote:Explanation]]A nickname for the particularly [[TheCaligula bizarre]], [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans radical]] and/or [[CrapsackWorld just plain dystopian]] countries that are predominantly the subject of shitposts related to the mod. These include Burgundy, the DSR, Omsk, and the UPO, among others. This meme has [[DiscreditedMeme died down]] somewhat post-release with the revelation that many of the so-called "funny countries" are, thanks to the quality of the writing, absolutely horrifying to play as.[[/labelnote]]
* Nuclear Shrimp[[labelnote:Explanation]]A bug in the mod's first day of release resulted in [[SillyReasonForWar a dispute between the Americans and Japanese over shrimp fishing almost immediately resulting in a war]], which leads to WorldWarThree, [[NukeEm nuclear bombs]], and TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. Alternatively referred to as the Random Shrimp Event.[[/labelnote]]
* STRENG GEHEIM[[labelnote:Explanation]]When controlling another country, all the names of Burgundy's focuses are replaced with "STRENG GEHEIM" ("TOP SECRET" in English) to represent the secrecy of its workings. The fandom has turned it into Burgundy's and/or Himmler's CatchPhrase, using it like how the ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'' community uses [[CensoredForComedy "[DATA EXPUNGED]"]].[[/labelnote]]
** There is only pain under the Black Sun. [[labelnote:Explanation]]Used to encompass the sheer despair that is living under a Burgundian System, and sometimes to relate with players that got smacked in the face with the true horror of something like Himmler's Burgundy not expecting things to get ''that'' dark. A key example that is used is simply "From Cradle to Grave" one of Burgundy's first events.[[/labelnote]]
* VERIFY YOUR CLOCK [[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]A reference to the source of Taboritsky's reunification superevent's soundclip being the introduction of a {{Creator/Soyuzmultfilm}} [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids "children's"]] short of the same name. Usually used in conjunction with references to Taboritsky's Russia.[[/labelnote]]
** ALEXEI LIVES [[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]]Another reference to Taboritsky, this time concerning his belief that [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexei_Nikolaevich,_Tsarevich_of_Russia Tsarevich Alexei]] is still alive.[[/labelnote]]
* Hermann Vöring [[labelnote:Explanation]]Thanks to the game's abundance of prominent Nazi individuals, memes from ''WebVideo/HitlerRants'' tend to cross over into the game, in particular Göring's [[ExtremeOmnivore voracious, indiscriminate appetite]]. Jokes are abound where Göring does outlandish things such as drink a big chunk of the Mediterranean Sea and take a massive piss in the Congo jungle, and invading countries to eat what they have, up to and including [[spoiler:Burgundy's nukes if the "Fall Schwartz" plan is put in motion]]. Whenever Göring successfully invades a country, it's common for fans to say "Göring vored [X]".[[/labelnote]]
* "Get on the desk" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Pre v1.0.5, the [[https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/444598786325610497/739909227912364102/broman_rape_wtfiswrongwithyou_fuck.PNG "Court of the Brown Kaiser" event]] had Bormann boasting to his secretary about his plans to legalize polygamy and ordering her to get on his desk when she didn't reciprocate his advances. It pretty much turned Bormann into the MemeticMolester of ''TNO''. The clumsy writing of the event (some comments on Reddit compared it to a sitcom scene) didn't help. Became a DiscreditedMeme after [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TNOmod/comments/i6vu31/stop_acting_like_neckbeards_and_just_repeating/ the devs got fed up]] with all the [[BlackComedyRape rape jokes]] going around and, post v1.0.5, the event was changed to have Bormann arguing with Gehlen about polygamy's legalization.[[/labelnote]]
* Tetris Tsar [[labelnote:Explanation]]Vyatka's unification super event soundclip, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVdRXudABKc Song of the Cadets of the Nikolaev Cavalry School]], shares its melody with Korobeniki, the Russian folk song made famous by {{VideoGame/Tetris}}.[[/labelnote]]
* Wholesome Sablin Keanu Chungus 100 [[labelnote:Explanation]]A derivative of the [[https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Wholesome%20100%20Keanu%20Chungus Wholesome Keanu Chungus]] meme, used both by fans of Sablin when discussing many of the [[Heartwarming/TheNewOrderLastDaysOfEurope heartwarming events]] in his Russian unification route, and by Sablin's detractors to mock the [[IncorruptiblePurePureness common perception of Sablin]] among his supporters.[[/labelnote]]
