1''Modern Day Scenario II'' is a popular ''VideoGame/HeartsOfIronII: Doomsday'' modification that brings the UsefulNotes/WorldWarII-era video game to the TurnOfTheMillennium and the events of UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror. Currently in beta for Darkest Hour 1.03, it is one of the most extensive conversions of ''Hearts of Iron II'' undertaken, with dozens of new countries, hundreds of new technologies and thousands of new events, ministers, graphics and models.

3!!This GameMod provides examples of:
4* AnonymousRinger: ''Extremely'' averted. Every nation on Earth is present (aside from micronations like Liechtenstein and the Vatican), with numerous projects by fans and modders in order to attempt to make their ministerial cabinets, events and military leaders as accurate as possible.
5* ArtifactTitle: A downplayed one -- the startdate hasn't been changed since the original version, so the real world's modern day keeps getting farther and farther away from it.
6* MiddleEasternCoalition: The Islamic Alliance, a third alliance replacing the European Union (which in turn replaced the Comintern and will be partly merged with the Coalition of the Willing into UsefulNotes/{{NATO}}), which rather peculiarly seems to be led by the Shiite Iran and can consist of both Sunni and Shiite nations (the mod implies that it may be an inferred EnemyMine against the US and Israel through).
7* MythologyGag: One of Russia's options in response to Litivenko's whistleblowing is "It's probably just harmless talk," just like in the infamous White Lotus Rebellion event in ''VideoGame/EuropaUniversalis II''.
8* NoCampaignForTheWicked: Regardless of your view on who is "the wicked", this trope will be averted, seeing as it is following the ''VideoGame/HeartsOfIron'' tradition of allowing players to take command of virtually any nation on Earth.
9* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Played with, while most events of the 21st century are accurately portrayed, it goes into alternate history with the Orange Revolution causing a Civil War in Ukraine and Romania going to war with Moldova.
10* WorldWarIII: In this case, between the UsefulNotes/ShanghaiCooperationOrganisation and UsefulNotes/{{NATO}}, starting around 2008-9.
11* TurnOfTheMillennium: The game is set in the 2000s, though the game is planned to extend to the [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture 2050s]] or so.
