History Memes / TheNewOrderLastDaysOfEurope

* The murder of Stepan Bandera in the Mauthausen concentration camp was the greatest crime of the 20th century[[labelnote:Explanation]]This line was written in the beginning of Klyachkivsky's bio in this [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TNOmod/comments/o7nhzh/the_ukrainian_civil_war_coming_in_europas_narben/ Ukraine teaser]], intended to be a [[MoralMyopia horribly myopic]] viewpoint for the OUN (b), given Bandera's fascist beliefs, collaboration with Nazi Germany and complicity in multiple genocides. For how memorable it was, the fandom began parroting this sentence whenever the OUN (b) was mentioned, even when Klyachkivsky's bio was updated to remove this line. Eventually, the line became an AscendedMeme in "The Dispirited, Deranged Domevoy" national spirit for the UPA, whose description began with the exact same sentence, except "Mauthausen" was changed to "Sachsenhausen".[[/labelnote]]

* Berezniki must go![=/=]Who must go?[[labelnote:Explanation]]The minor faction Berezniki has not only resisted all attempts to remove it from the mod before the Toolbox Theory update, but has also outlived multiple devs who left development before it could be removed, greatly increasing its pedigree. The meme itself is a variation on the "Assad must go!" meme.[[/labelnote]]

* #PACKWATCH [[labelnote:Explanation (SPOILERS)]]Komai's [[ThePuppetCutsHisStrings Personalist]] route has [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gng_komai_kenichiro_70s_personalist_7.png his pic]] feature him with SinisterShades and him [[GoodSmokingEvilSmoking smoking a cigar]]. Considering how "Rip Bozo" memes often feature a clip of someone with shades and them smoking as part of a way to [[SpeakIllOfTheDead insult their hated ones that just died]], Komai's Personalist pic is often used as a reaction to [[AfterActionReport After-Action Reports]] that feature a successful Hitachi Personalist playthrough, or for extra BlackComedy, any unfortunate incident involving Chinese.[[/labelnote]]

** Heydrich's "birthing hips" [[labelnote:Explanation]]The historical Heydrich had wide hips he was apparently [[Creator/JohnMulaney sensitive about]] to only allow photos from the waist up. Jokes abounded until Discord and subreddit moderators [[https://redd.it/k0xl4c clamped down on it]] for sexualizing a Nazi.[[/labelnote]]

** ded[[labelnote:Explanation]]Used on Rclaims the game to be Ukrainian in origin, and only eddit when someone asks about the fate of a historical figure who is unimportant to the lore of the mod.[[/labelnote]]

* Ukrainian game United States of Siberia[[labelnote:Explanation]]In January 2024, Russian TV channel [[=REN TV=]], known for their conspiracy theory-laden documentaries, made a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2MiW1AzrTw&ab_channel=Sabzin documentary]] where, among other things, TNO is claimed to be part of a secret Western plot to balkanise Russia. Alongside general conspiratorial hatemongering and disinformation (for instance, the documentary tells that the player must "hold on to their piece of the pie", ignoring the fact that their goal is actually to ''unite'' Russia and restore it to greatness), REN TV made a number of factual mistakes, like calling the ''mod'' "United States of Siberia" (which is actually a very short-lived name of WerBell's state at the superregional period), or claiming it was made in Ukraine. Needless to say, Russian (and to a lesser extent Western) fans found the documentary amusing and began calling TNO "United States of Siberia" ironically. [[/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 Communism with Authoritarian characteristics" for Sablin/Bukharina.[[/labelnote]]

* Poland is Not Yet Lost![[labelnote:Explanation]] A reference to both the Polish Underground State and the exiles of Nowa Polska in the Kazakh SSR. Even in the face of the Nazi behemoth and myriad threats, the Poles’ utter defiance have reached meme status.[[/labelnote]]

** Tabby caused Loli[[labelnote:Explanation]]In real life, Sergey Taboritsky killed Creator/VladimirNabokov's father in 1922. The event caused Nabokov to stay in Berlin, where he became a writer, later writing ''Literature/{{Lolita}}'', which, in turn, inspired the [[LoliconAndShotacon Lolicon]] phenomenon. Hence, [[ForWantOfANail Sergey Taboritsky accidentally created Loli.]] [[/labelnote]]

* Dreams of Federation[[labelnote:Explanation]]A reference to the Russian Unification super event that plays should Vasily Shukshin's Novosibirsk triumph, and how genuinely democratic it is compared Alexander Pokryshkin's prosperous, yet bleak path. Bonus points if additional references are made to Edward Artemyev's music.[[/labelnote]]

* "[[red:Was it worth it, Mr. President?]]"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A reference to George Wallace's description should he successfully enforce nation-wide segregation in the US. This also doubles as a [[WhatTheHellPlayer jab at]] ''the player'' for actually pulling it off.[[/labelnote]]

* Hart in Samara/Samara Incident[[note]]The fandom jokes that Hart was sent by the CIA to pose as an SS member (SS battalion "neu samara") in 1956. There, he directed a litany of war crimes on the Eastern Front, including against his own men, and was so horrible that the ROA were hailed as heroes when they liberated Samara.[[/note]]

* The Most Serene First Admiral/Fernando Posting [[labelnote:Explanation]] Before release, Fernando de Quintanilha e Mendonça Dias, an admiral who takes control of the Gibraltar Dam Zone for his own fiefdom in the Iberian Wars, gives himself an [[TryToFitThatOnABusinessCard absurdly long list of titles]] in addition to his OverlyLongName that quickly caught on with the community. Any mention of him is not complete without them. The full list is the Most Serene First Admiral, Lord Protector of the Most Magnificent Dam of the Gates of Gibraltar, Scion of Endless Seas, Light in the Darkness, First of his Most Splendid Title, Bearer of the Greatest Burden, Traveler of Ten Thousand Oceans, Lord of the Pillars of Hercules, Atlas of the Mediterranean, Slayer of German Influence in Iberia and Gibraltar in Particular, Lord of all the Fishes in the Sea, Guardian at the Gates to the Old World, Hero of Goa, Director of the Interior Fleet, Grand Peacekeeper, Most Honorable Son of the Republic of Portugal, Liason to the Mediterranean Nations, and True Successor To The Legacy of Holy Iberia.[[/labelnote]]

* X with Y characteristics[[labelnote:Explanation]]A reference to "Socialism with Chinese characteristics", the broad term for the ideology of the CPC. 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 Communism with Authoritarian characteristics" for Sablin/Bukharina.[[/labelnote]]

* #PACKWATCH [[labelnote:Explanation (SPOILERS)]]Komai's [[ThePuppetCutsHisStrings Personalist]] route has his pic feature him with SinisterShades and him [[GoodSmokingEvilSmoking smoking a cigar]]. Considering how "Rip Bozo" memes often feature a clip of someone with shades and them smoking as part of a way to [[SpeakIllOfTheDead insult their hated ones that just died]], Komai's Personalist pic is often used as a reaction to [[AfterActionReport After-Action Reports]] that feature a successful Hitachi Personalist playthrough, or for extra BlackComedy, any unfortunate incident involving Chinese.[[/labelnote]]

* [[SarcasmMode TNO's least complicated UI]][[labelnote:Explanation]]The mod's unique aesthetic and different mechanics are not only ambitious but also overwhelming with how the interfaces present themselves, not helped by having certain factions and states also coming with their own unique mechanics and menus. This is both a source of humor and criticism from players, leading to jokes over whatever "the least complicated UI" in TNO could look like.[[/labelnote]]

* Denmark GUI[[labelnote:Explanation]]A redditor [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TNOmod/comments/ni3zin/tno_denmark_mechanic_not_real/ parodied]] the mod's complex GUI with a fake "leak" of Denmark's minigames, which covered the entire screen, handled extremely trivial matters, and had needlessly convoluted mechanics that are overwhelming to even look at. The fanbase has joked that the mod will soon transcend to this level of puzzling gameplay.[[/labelnote]]

* very liberal team[[labelnote:Explanation]]A random Steam comment on the mod was just these three words verbatim, made by a blatantly neo-Nazi account called 'Volkssturm', which also had a Nazi Eagle coat of arms as its profile picture. Its audacity made it extremely memorable and it's now used as a cheeky, non-serious insult against the development team over irrelevant or nonsensical complaints.[[/labelnote]]

** Mr. Vöring's [[VideoGame/RollercoasterTycoon Wild Ride]]![[labelnote:Explanation]]Göring's story if he wins the civil war and becomes the new leader of Germany is a twisted {{deconstruction}} of the time-honored tradition of the "world domination" playthrough in a Paradox game, wherein Göring (or at least the militarists that puppeteer him) try to fix the gaping holes in Germany's money-hemorrhaging economy by conquering and plundering other nations until the nation either gets bogged down somewhere and undergoes total collapse or picks a fight with someone with nukes and ends human civilization in atomic fire. This leads to the joke that Mr. Göring's Wild Ride-- itself a reference to a notorious {{VideoGame/Rollercoaster Tycoon}} [[https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/mr-bones-wild-ride meme]]-- keeps on rolling until it derails or explodes, and even inspired a joke sub-mod literally called "Mr. Göring's Wild Ride," which not only cleans up many of the bugs surrounding some of the more-impossible conquests but gives a bit more content as an increasingly-unstable Göring ultimately declares himself God after conquering the United States.[[/labelnote]]

* Poland is Not Yet Lost![[labelnote:Explanation]] A reference to both the Polish Underground State and the exiles of Nowa Polska in the former Kazakh SSR. Even in the face of the Nazi behemoth and myriad threats, the Poles’ utter defiance have reached meme status.[[/labelnote]]

* A minor issue with [X][[labelnote:Explanation]]The second incarnation of the SS-Aktionsgruppe Moskowien, also called Pleskau, was criticized in a megapost titled "A minor issue with Pleskau". Despite its name, the megapost spent dozens of pages criticizing the depiction of Herbert Backe, Richard Walther Darré, and the ideology of the SS, deeming them a "mischaracterization" of all three. The term has now been used for similar megaposts criticizing the mod's depiction of historical figures, in turn leading to an ironic usage where a fan takes umbrage with anything, no matter how trivial.[[/labelnote]]

** Glenn died [[AllForNothing for nothing]]![[labelnote:Explanation]]While the actual situation is more nuanced than the meme suggests, the at-least-conceptually popular John Glenn presidency was eventually replaced by the Phil Hart presidency, and one of the primary reasons given was that it was preceding a mass reworking of every nation's Space Race content in ''The Final Front''. When ''The Final Front'' team decided to scrap the expansion in favor of leaving ''The New Order'' altogether to produce a standalone game instead, fans mourning the loss of the old Glenn content and unmollified by statements about the dev team looking into reinstating Space Race content in some new form at some point came out of the woodwork.[[/labelnote]]

* Punished Speidel/Speidel had Enough[[labelnote:Explanation]]The fandom paints Speidel as an IronWoobie / {{Determinator}} for having endured multiple wars, coups and the like and coming out victorious out of it, especially in a Heydrich run. He is well-regarded by the fandom for his apoliticism and [[MyCountryRightOrWrong genuine love for Germany]] and his decision to take matters into his own hands in the Anarchy Stage of the Civil War, where he can take over Germany as Schutzzone Germania.[[/labelnote]]

* The 1964 Winter Olympics [[labelnote:Explanation]]When Toolbox Theory was finally released, it came with a quickly-patched bug that fired a single news event - the success of the Canadian Winter Olympics after Innsbruck had to cancel for [[CivilWar obvious reasons]] - ''192 times at once. For everyone in the world.'' Unsurprisingly the sheer ''[[SensoryAbuse noise]]'' all those events made as they came up blew out many an eardrum, and even higher-end [=PCs=] struggled to process the code behind them all, leading to massive freezeups if not outright crashes. It quickly became a source of humour for the community, as shown [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TNOmod/comments/r08coh/200000_are_ready_with_a_million_more_well_on_the/ here]].[[/labelnote]]

* The Seoul of TNO[[labelnote:Explanation]]A large number of changes were implemented in TNO over the years, primarily unrealistic occurances such as Göring's World Conquest ideology and the reduction in role of Burgundy. Mnay of the changes are[[BrokenBase controversial]], as some believe the changes are removing the character and "wackiness" that defined TNO in the past, which has lead to the creation of the phrase "The Seoul of TNO" for removed or soon-to-be-removed parts of the mod that are controversial. This later expanded to label other, minor removed content such as the Iranian Civil War as a way to mock those who argued for older, cut content to remain.[/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''." [[Main/{{Defictionalization}} The meme saw first brief revival when one fan had]] [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TNOmod/comments/j2xj8e/my_speer_hoodie_arrived_today/ an actual Speer Hoodie]] [[Main/{{CrossesTheLineTwice}} made]], much to the chagrin of the developers; the second one was in PDXCON 2022, when member of Polish TNO community [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TNOmod/comments/x3w5ln/administrator_of_polish_tno_facebook_fan_group/ got a photo with Johan Andresson while wearing it]].[[/labelnote]]

** Vyatka's Law: as a TNO related-song is published on Youtube, the probability of the comment section being invaded by the TNO fandom approaches 1[[labelnote:Explanation]]A somewhat self-explanatory observation of what happens when a superevent with new music gets released, so-called because it was first made on a video of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVdRXudABKc "Cadets of the Guard School"]], the unification theme of liberal Vyatka. Also applicable to ''fanmade'' superevents (see above) that get popular enough.[[/labelnote]]

* This Isn't Working[[labelnote:Explanation]] A reference to beta focus trees teased for 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, would have committed what basically amounted 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]]

* Send them the mod[[labelnote:Explanation]]A crossover from ''VideoGame/RedWorld'', when a player emailed Noam Chomsky about him being the leader of a post-American country. The TNO community began joking about doing the same for other leaders still alive today, the more [[HistoricalVillainUpgrade unsavory their depiction]], the better. Such targets include (or formerly included, before their deaths) John Morris, Nikolay Ryzhkov, Andreas Meyer-Landrut, Wittekind zu Waldeck und Pyrmont, Maciej Giertych, Jean-Marie Le Pen, Régis Debray, Isabel Martínez de Perón, Farah Pahlavi, Li Ka-shing, the 14th Dalai Lama, Ralph Nader, Dmitry Yazov, Pierre Sidos, UsefulNotes/MikhailGorbachev, [[UsefulNotes/ElizabethII Queen Elizabeth]], Simeon Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, Hissène Habré, Tullio Moneta, Mishake Muyongo, and Henry Kissinger.[[/labelnote]]

* very liberal team[[labelnote:Explanation]]A random Steam comment on the mod was just these three words verbatim, made by a blatantly neo-Nazi account called 'Volkssturm', which also had a Nazi Eagle coat of arms as its profile picture. It's audacity made it extremely memorable and it's now used as a cheeky, non-serious insult against the development team over irrelevant or nonsensical complaints.[[/labelnote]]

* The murder of Stepan Bandera in the Mauthausen concentration camp was the greatest crime of the 20th century[[labelnote:Explanation]]This line was written in the beginning of Klyachkivsky's bio in this [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TNOmod/comments/o7nhzh/the_ukrainian_civil_war_coming_in_europas_narben/ Ukraine teaser]], intended to be a [[MoralMyopia horribly myopic]] viewpoint for the OUN (b), given Bandera's support for fascism, collaboration with Nazi Germany and complicity in multiple genocides. For how memorable it was, the fandom began parroting this sentence whenever the OUN (b) was mentioned, even when Klyachkivsky's bio was updated to remove this line.[[/labelnote]]

** "ooga booga nazbol gang unite"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Similar to "oh god oh fuck its kishi", Serov's decision tab to manage the [[ANaziByAnyOtherName National Socialist]] and [[DirtyCommies Communist]] wings of the Ordosocialist party had placeholder text in place of actual information.[[/labelnote]]

** The Iron Lady Rises/Thatcher Posting[[labelnote:Explanation]] While Margaret Thatcher's potential rule as Prime Minister is shown to not only mirror her OTL self's tenure initially, but also Augusto Pinochet's exploits by the 1970s, it's also heavily implied that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXS5n1WV0xA by her British Reunification event]], she has more than a few parallels with Kishi Nobusuke. It's inevitably led to overlapping memes.[[/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]]. These memes have largely died down since the Cold Southern Springs submod began production, attempting to create detailed content for all South American nations, and subsequently released a demo with 4 years of Brazilian content. The final nail to the meme's coffin was said submod being outright integrated into the main one, making it a DiscreditedMeme.[[/labelnote]]

* Send them the mod[[labelnote:Explanation]]A crossover from ''VideoGame/RedWorld'', when a player emailed Noam Chomsky about him being the leader of a post-American country. The TNO community began joking about doing the same for other leaders still alive today, the more [[HistoricalVillainUpgrade unsavory their depiction]], the better.

* R5 : Removed for low effort content [[labelnote:Explaination]] In mid 2023, the Moderation on the TNO subreddit began to remove a large amount of posts for being "low effort" (despite most people thinking otherwise). The community quickly caught on and began to troll "R5 : Removed for low effort content" under posts containing any sort of actual quality content. The backlash against R5 later resulted in it quickly [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TNOmod/comments/134r64s/addressing_subreddit_issues/ being scrapped]]. [[/labelnote]]

* Secret [=EsoNaz=] Path[[labelnote:Explanation (spoilers)]] After the discovery of [[TheCaligula Sergey Taboritsky's]] [[DownerEnding Esoteric Nazi path for Russia in the form of the HRE]] at release, many players jokingly began to speculate about other possible Esoteric paths in the game, with some using edited captures and events to "Reveal" them. Usually applying them to benevolent countries such as [[RebelLeader Sablin's Buryatia]], [[BigGood WRRF]], or even [[WideEyedIdealist Humanist Tomsk]]. [[/labelnote]]

* The murder of Stepan Bandera in the Mauthausen concentration camp was the greatest crime of the 20th century[[labelnote:Explanation]]This line was written in the beginning of Klyachkivsky's bio in this [[https://www.reddit.com/r/TNOmod/comments/o7nhzh/the_ukrainian_civil_war_coming_in_europas_narben/ Ukraine teaser]], intended to be a [[MoralMyopia horribly myopic]] viewpoint for the OUN (b), given Bandera's unsavory far-right views and crimes against humanity. For how memorable it was, the fandom began parroting this sentence whenever the OUN (b) was mentioned, even when Klyachkivsky's bio was updated to remove this line.[[/labelnote]]

* The Peronómetro[=/=]Perónposting[[labelnote:Explanation]]UsefulNotes/JuanDomingoPeron is already the most influencial figure in Argentina's political history and landscape, but jokes about his brand of populism and general [[TheDreaded Dreaded-ness]] exploded both from the sheer fear the starting Argentinian government in the mod shows to the idea of his return, and the mechanic governing whether he comes back to ruin your run, the Peronómetro: A memetastic image of [[https://i.redd.it/c2wmguo6x7261.png the biggest shit-eating grin the man could muster]].[[/labelnote]]

** Ewatta Clique[[labelnote:Explanation]]Of special mention, the Ewatta clique was one of the factions mentioned in the meme, representing the most extreme elements of the fandom and mod team who want the mod to be completely overhauled and shed of all "unrealistic and implausible elements," including Burgundy and the National Progressive Party. This imaginary concept has been jokingly (and not so jokingly) scapegoated and blamed by the fandom for ruining the mod by stripping it of all content that people enjoyed. Ewatta in particular has been less than enthusiastic about being made the "face" of the anti-implausibility crowd, not least because they don't feel it reflects their real-life views very much, although they admit it's probably because they were responsible for sinking at least one popular idea and were not temperate in their distaste for it.[[/labelnote]]

* Low Effort Content [[labelnote:Explaination]] In mid 2023, the Moderation on the TNO subreddit began to remove a large amount of posts for being "low effort" (despite most people thinking otherwise). The community quickly caught on and began to troll "R5 : Removed for low effort content" under posts containing any sort of actual quality content.

* Please Prolong Voroshilov's Life[[labelnote:Explanation]]Refers to the continued request of one user on a slew of threads on TNO's subreddit to extend the life of Kliment Voroshilov, who originally occupied Alexander Yegorov's current role (as the WRRF's starting leader who dies shortly after the German Civil War begins). The meme became popular on r/dsrfunny and on the TNO discord, especially after Voroshilov was replaced.[[/labelnote]]

* [[https://old.reddit.com/r/TNOmod/comments/d5jn9s/smh_my_head_everyone_remembers_rk_mittelmeer_but/ Shina]][[labelnote:Explanation]]A nation that existed in ''very'' early-stage TNO builds, in which a Japanese-occupied China controls a large piece of territory. The nonsensical existence of the faction, combined with the name led it to become a meme, representing the weirdness of ancient TNO lore.[[/labelnote]]
