[[folder: Atomwaffen Division]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/flag_of_atomwaffen_division.png]]
->'''Official Name:''' Atomwaffen Divison, National Socialist State (Mason Unification), Unholy Kingdom (Faust Unification), Free Aryan Territory (National Anarchist Unification), Purified Land of Mikinoc Waajew (Ecofascist Unification)
->'''Ruling Party:''' Atomwaffen Division
->'''Ideology:''' Nazism[[note]]Ethnic Nationalism[[/note]]
During the collapse, the Nazi-Accelerationist Atomwaffen Division begins a prison riot in the Avery-Mitchel Correctional Institute. With aid from outside militia groups, they seized control of western North Carolina, and now lord over it from their prison fortress. This vile band of fascists seeks to destroy the old world in a cleansing inferno and establish a new Nazi empire...that is, if their infighting, StupidEvil tendencies, and general incompetency don't doom them first.

* ApocalypseCult: Atomwaffen Division wants to usher in the collapse of civilization so they can rebuild it along their neo-Nazi vision - how that vision plays out depends on who triumphs in the power struggle.
* BlackComedy: A band of marginally competent neo-Nazis with cartoonishly evil beliefs trying to take over America is surprisingly ripe for humor.
* HollywoodSatanism: The Tempel ov Blood, a faction of Atomwaffen Division, espouses a deranged ideology of neo-Nazi Satanism. They believe that Satan, Pennywise the Clown, and the other Dark Gods are trapped behind a magical door on Saturn, and doing random acts of evil and terror will help them break free and begin the Final Culling. Surprisingly TruthInTelevision, as the group and its beliefs are real.
* ThoseWackyNazis: Atomwaffen Division believes in a bizarre mix of Nazi, Esoteric, and Accelerationist thought.
* WeAreStrugglingTogether: The infighting between the Atomwaffen Nazis is just as dangerous as their external enemies, as the division between standard Nazis, eco-Nazis, anarcho-Nazis, and Satanist Nazis results in bickering and power grabs.

->'''Ideology:''' Nazism[[note]]Ethnic Nationalism[[/note]]

* DirtyOldMan: Mason has a history of pedophilia.
* EvilOldFolks: A 72-year-old Neo-Nazi.
* HateSink: Mason is an utter bastard with absolutely no redeeming qualities. He's not insane like Ragnar, and he lacks the CartoonishSupervillainy of Faust. He's a selfish, perverted, hypocritical racist old jerkass.
* Hypocrite: [[spoiler: Despite his whole professed ideology being based on wanting to overthrow the federal government, James Mason is a willing federal asset who's using the AWD's uprising to harass The Lion and the CSA. ]]

!!''Faust''
[[quoteright:156:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/portrait_awd_faust.png]]
->'''Role:''' Head of State (Faust seizes power)
->'''Party:''' Tempel ov Blood
->'''Ideology:''' Neo-Darwinism[[note]]Annihiliationism[[/note]]

* AluminumChristmasTrees: The Tempel ov Blood and its belief system is real (if most likely a federal honeypot). Most of the goofy terminology and ideas (astral whampyrism, Drill Sargent Grey, etc) are directly lifted from TOB literature.
* CartoonishSupervillainy: Faust gleefully indulges in it. [[CardCarryingVillain He calls it 'Evilmaxing'.]]
* DepravedBisexual: Faust is pansexual, [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil sexually assaults victims of any gender]], and unlike most [[HeteronormativeCrusader homophobic neo-Nazis]], claims that [[InsaneTrollLogic gay sex is a way to "own the Jews"]].
* EnfanteTerrible: Attempted to commit a [[AxesAtSchool school shooting]] when he was just 18.
%%* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Besides the many ways Faust can die if he is defeated by a different American Collapse warlord, [[spoiler: he STILL dies if he somehow conquers America, as he is either stabbed to death by Pazuzu in the normal game, or literally DraggedOffToHell in Occult Mode.]]
* ForTheEvulz: Faust's entire motivation. He enjoys spreading misery and pain because it makes him feel superior to the rest of humanity.
* HateSink: Despite his LaughablyEvil CartoonishSupervillainy, NOTHING about Faust is remotely sympathetic, and nobody will shed a tear if [[spoiler:(or more accurately, '''[[FailureIsTheOnlyOption when]]''')]] [[AssholeVictim he finally faces the consequences for his actions]].
* HollywoodSatanism: Faust is an unhinged Satanist Neo-Nazi - and unlike Cambion (who [[NapoleonDelusion sincerely believes himself]] to [[AGodIAm be Lucifer]] from Literature/ParadiseLost), Faust uses his supposed "beliefs" as an excuse for him to indulge in his psychopathic urges. %%[[spoiler: Notably, [[JustJokingJustification he desperately claims he was "just kidding" about the Satanism]] if he's defeated by The Lion Of Socialism, just before The Lion brutally {{MegatonPunch}}es [[YourHeadAsplode his head into a shower of gore]].]]
* MalevolentMaskedMen: Faust wears a skull-mask bandana over his mouth and a camo-jacket hood pulled over the top of his head - and of the Atomwaffen's leaders, HE is by a mile and a half the absolute most evil bastard out of the lot.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Faust's botched attempt at carrying out a [[SpreeKiller Spree Killing]], and moreso his absolute circus of a defense trial, ended up putting such a spotlight onto the Tempel ov Blood that the FBI cracked down on the rest of the Atomwaffen Division, leading to the mass arrest of high-profile members including its ideological leader James Manson.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: WordOfGod has stated that Faust is heavily based on several real-life {{SerialKiller}}s (even though Faust's modus operandi leans closer to SpreeKiller), with the most influence being drawn from [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Bernardo Paul Bernardo]], complete with an obsession on becoming "[[PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy the next big white rapper]]".
* PissTakeRap: Faust is a rapper - a ''terrible, '''terrible''''' rapper.
* PsychopathicManChild: Faust hasn't emotionally matured past his teenage years, and mixes his obsession for murder, rape and other antisocial impulses into CartoonishSupervillainy levels that [[CardCarryingVillain he calls 'Evilmaxing'.]]
%%* PunchPunchUhOh: If Faust is defeated by [[BombThrowingAnarchists the Lion Rebellion]], [[MuggingTheMonster Faust tries to fight The Lion Of Socialism by himself with a Bowie knife]], only for The Lion [[LodgedBladeRemoval to casually pull the knife out of his shoulder]], and '''[[SuperStrength rip the blade in HALF with his bare hands]]''' Faust only has enough time to [[OhCrap realize how badly]] [[Memes/OtherInternet he dun goofed]] (and then [[SurrenderBackfire desperately attempt to surrender to no avail]]) before The Lion [[MegatonPunch punches him in the face so hard]] [[YourHeadAsplode that his flying teeth embed themselves into the concrete walls]].
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Unfortunately, Faust has no qualms about using sexual assault to bump up his "Evilmaxxing" score.
* ScaryTeeth: Faust's teeth are horribly rotted due to his sweet tooth and terrible impulse control [[note]]A trait taken directly from Richard Remirez [[/note]]
* StupidCrooks: Faust is initially arrested after taking a detour on his plotted [[AxesAtSchool school shooting]] to rob a liquor store on a whim, only to get shot and arrested by a beat cop. He then makes such a disastrous "defense" of himself on trial that he ends up serving a life sentence with no chance of parole. %%[[spoiler: One of [[TheManyDeathsOfYou his post-defeat death events]] has him [[RunForTheBorder try fleeing over the Mexican border]], only for the border guards to find [[DisposableSexWorker the body of a murdered prostitute]] in [[PunkInTheTrunk his car trunk]].]]
* StupidEvil: Faust's depraved villainy is only matched by his inept stupidity.
%%* SurrenderBackfire: If Faust is defeated by the Lion Rebellion (and after [[PunchPunchUhOh tries attacking the Lion in single combat to no avail]]), he desperately claims [[JustJokingJustification he was "just kidding" about the Satanism]], and that [[FakeDefector he finally "saw the light of Anarchy"]] - The Lion simply [[MegatonPunch punches Faust in the face so hard]] [[YourHeadAsplode his head is pulped like a watermelon]].
%%* TheManyDeathsOfYou: Taking a page from [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/TNOSouthernUrals The New Order's depiction of Oskar Dirlewanger]], Faust has several death events (each [[UndignifiedDeath more humiliating than the last]]) in the event he is defeated [[spoiler: and even if he somehow reunites all of America, as he is either stabbed to death by Pazuzu after he tries to kill him first, or (if Occult Mode is activated) is literally DraggedOffToHell by the [[EldritchAbomination Lament Configuration]].]]
* ThisLoserIsYou: {{WordOfGod}} is that Faust is a parody of the kind of person who would be drawn to Atomwaffen and the Tempel ov Blood - and, more broadly, of the "Super Edgy Serial Killer"-led states from other Hearts of Iron 4 mods (including [[SelfDeprecation several in Extremis Ultimis itself]]).
* VillainousBreakdown: Faust is prone to suffering particularly disturbing breakdowns due to his inability to cry, instead making disturbing goat-bleating-esque noises.

* TattooedCrook: Pazuzu is a convicted murderer with several facial tattoos.
* VillainousFriendship: WordOfGod confirmed that the reason Pazuzu is still alive was due to Faust having become pen-pals with him and talking him out of his OTL suicide - it's unfortunately one-sided, as Faust's letters were [[StealthInsult heavily coded insults]] that Pazuzu wasn't able to figure out.

* CloudCuckooLander: Ragnar holds considerably insane beliefs (even by neo-Nazi standards), and is a paranoid ConspiracyTheorist.
* CommieNazis: Ragnar is an Anarcho-Nationalist, which espouses a hatred of state governments and corporations, but fused with white supremacist conspiracy theories. He may also become an Ecofascist, which promotes environmentalism, but also keeps the bigoted xenophobia of Nazism.
* ConspiracyTheorist: Has particularly demented conspiracy theories, which he rants about at LENGTH during an event during The American Collapse.

->'''In-Game Biography:''' [[labelnote:Click to Show]]\\\
The name started as a joke, obviously. Or at least, a slightly amusing nickname. Mother Anarchy has been deep within the Seattle activist milieu for a couple of decades, and people started calling her variations on "protest mom" way back before '08. "Mother Anarchy" had to wait for internet leftism to mature before it could come into its own as a pseudonym. By the time of the 2016 election, it had stuck, and it became inseparable from her protest organizing.\\\
When Seattle plunged into an ecstatic insurrection in early 2017, defying flawed democracy and the new authoritarian in the White House, Mother Anarchy found herself suddenly within a militant stronghold in Seattle's Capitol Hill district as the barricades went up and a large number of police were trapped within their own precinct. Soon enough, though, the surprised elation of the occupiers turned to panic as Federalized National Guard units swarmed the city and breached Free Cap Hill's barricades with extreme violence, harrying the protestors out into the waiting kettles of the police, and the waiting vans of the Department of Homeland Security. Mother Anarchy was unlucky enough to find herself in one of the latter.\\\
It was weeks before she saw the light of day again. DHS policy was to hold each prisoner on the thinnest thread of habeas corpus they could manage in order to maximize imprisonment time, and while those tactics would later lead to two fruitless impeachments of President Trump, for Mother Anarchy, they punctuated a valuable lesson about the need to defend with more than just barricades - guns, certainly - but preparation and organization above all, because the enemy will always have more guns than you, if you're fighting on the right side.\\\
After the eerily-familiar failure of the 2nd Seattle Uprising, and many long months of resisting the Communists' restrictive rule, Mother Anarchy has stood up once more, ready for the next round in Seattle's protracted war for freedom.[[/labelnote]]

Big Pete never really meant to get this big. Sometimes, though, you do what you have to do, and suddenly you find that you have to do more. It was like that for Pete when this all started, when his friends and neighbors suddenly felt scared and exposed under that big sky, now full of jets screaming out West from over the hills. The people who came through town didn't seem so nice anymore, and the state troopers got downright mean.\\\
When Pete stepped up and took charge of defense, he wasn't really thinking about the implications. He'd never held power over another man in his whole long life, and he liked it that way. But, you take up arms and defend your neighbors, and then what? Wait for someone meaner than you to come around and try to wreck it all? Pete's never been the waiting type.\\\
So, Pete and his group left the ranch, and took to the lonely roads of Eastern Montana, doing what was right. People kept joining in and looking to him, and it kept escalating. One day, they passed some people who'd come down from Helena, saying the state government wasn't going to be around much longer. That the Army was coming up from Denver on their way into Idaho, and they were going to roll over Montana and put it under martial law. So, he had to deal with that.\\\
It's been mostly a blur since then. Lots of people, places, lots of things to shoot at. Hopefully he's doing alright by everyone. Pete used to be a big thinker when he was younger, thought he had it all figured out, that he was ready to take down the system singlehandedly. Now that he's actually doing it, it's a lot less simple than it used to seem. Still, he knows right from wrong. Big Pete'll never let anyone hand him their chains, no matter how easy it might be.[[/labelnote]]

->'''Official Name:''' The Black Legion
->'''Ruling Party:''' The Black Legion
->'''Ideology:''' Anarcho-Totalitarianism[[note]]National Totalitarianism[[/note]]
The Black Legion emerged during the initial collapse, as groups of pro-Haddock militias, opportunistic criminals, and Sons of Rome conspiracy theorists banded together to secure territory for Haddock and purge divisionists. Haddock, sensing an opportunity, placed the group under the command of Prefect Furvus and unleashed them on the Atlantic Seaboard. In the 'March for Union', the Black Legion posed as roving bands of unaffiliated anarchists, gangsters, and militias who swept through the poorly defended areas, attacking vital infrastructure and remaining pre-collapse government institutions. And then the [[EngineeredHeroics openly Haddockist GUARD were sent in their wake to provide assistance to survivors and establish Haddock's authority]]. The March for Union proved a success, and Haddock decided to keep the Black legion around as state-sponsored boogymen. A decision which infuriates Price, who views the Legion as bumbling lunatics (and suspects that Haddock plans to use them to replace the GUARD).

* AnarchoTyranny: The Black Legion has the dubious distinction of having "Anarcho-Totalitarianism", a sub-ideology of National Totalitarianism. Their 'state' is little more than feudal strongholds and packs of roving death squads slaughtering any opponents to their rule.
* ArmyOfThievesAndWhores: Compared to Haddock's Republican Army and Price's GUARD, the Black Legion is little more than a disorganized gaggle of criminals and maniacs whose only tactics are either fighting dirty or blind fanaticism.
* BlackShirt: In contrast to the professional GUARD, the Legion are hastily assembled militias, penal legions, and conspiracy nuts.
* ConspiracyTheorist: Part of the Black Legion is made up of the 'Sons of Rome', a Qanon-esque conspiracy group that believes that [[BenevolentConspiracy a cabal of politicians and elites descended from the last of the Romans plan to save western civilization by rebuilding the Roman Empire, and that Haddock is their chosen agent.]]
* TheDreaded: The Black Legion are Haddock's pet boogymen, shadowy bands of killers who descend on insufficiently loyal communities and leave nothing but death in their wake.
* EvilVsEvil: Their Civil War with the Black Legion can be summarized as this. Fervus is a Haddockist fanatic with a notably more anarchic, violent streak and Dallas is a MisanthropeSupreme that has no problem using nuclear weapons to "kill Divisionists".
* TradingBarsForStripes: Among the Black Legion's ranks are penal divisions, who joined up with the group for a shot at freedom.

DOB. 08/13/1983, Cleveland, Ohio. Prisoner 48501-054.\\\
The most charitable way to describe Furvus would be 'wild card'. The more accurate way would be 'goddamn lunatic'. Broken out of federal prison during the earliest days of the Black Legion, Furvus quickly made a name for himself based on his low cunning, brutality, and psychotic devotion to destroying anything he deems 'Divisionist'. Now in command of the Black Legion, this bundle of rage and mania has been tasked with rooting out any and all divisionist elements. What Furvus deems divisionist is based on a mixture of Haddock's actual commands and his own delusions. For now, these two align well enough.[[/labelnote]]

* AxCrazy: Even by the rock-bottom standards of Haddock's generals, Fervus is a psychopathic mass murderer, and leads equally deranged madmen in the Black Legion.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Furvus is a goddamn maniac, but is surprisingly good at asymmetrical warfare.
* CloudCuckoolander: Furvus believes that a multi-dimensional future version of the Republic is sending telepathic rays back in time to him and directing him to purge all divisionists to ensure that the future Republic will come into existence.
* TheDreaded: Furvus is this to the Black Legion. He's a ghoulish, creepy lunatic that they mainly follow out of fear.
* MadnessMantra: '''Ave. Death. Invictus.'''
* UnstoppableRage: Rage is one of the few emotions that Furvus can feel.
