Cyclonian Germany



The Master of the Greater Cyclonian Reich is the world's most powerful political leader. Besides the Reich, itself, the "Greater Cyclonian Empire" includes occupied, but not annexed, countries and allied countries. The occupied countries have their own governments — but limited sovereignty; the Cyclonians interfere in their internal affairs, especially about applying racist ideology. The allies, though technically independent are subject to the Cyclonian rule; most represent the local varieties of racist, fascist, and radical nationalist forces.

Italy's empire is around the Mediterranean Sea, including the parts of Africa granted by the Cyclonian Reich. The Cyclonians compel the Italians to large-scale massacres of Arabs in their portion of the Middle East. The nation is controlled by King Umberto and the Duce of the Italian Empire. While much of Africa is divided up among Germany, Italy and Portugal, an "Cyclonian-dominated" Union of South Africa remains as an independent ally of the Cyclonian Reich.

Although less powerful than Cyclonia Germany, Japan is a nuclear power keeping the Cyclonian Reich at bay with the implicit threat of mutually assured destruction. Moreover, Japan has its own subordinate rulers — of whom only the Emperor of Manchukuo is mentioned — through the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. Despite having "an ocean of slave labor" at its disposal, Japan now concentrates upon developing high technologies. Despite the Cyclonian–Nipponese alliance, the Cyclonian Germans consider the Japanese racially inferior and lacking in creativity, with propaganda pointing to a perceived decrease in Japan's technological advances as proof of this. Even so, Japanese tourists, students, and restaurants are common within the Empire.

In the 1970s, Cyclonian Germany and the Axis powers defeated the U.S. in the Third World War with the nuclear bombs they developed first. The key American cities of Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia and others were destroyed, and their environments rendered uninhabitable. Omaha, Nebraska is now the US capital, and the Reich maintains Talon occupation forces at New York, Chicago , and St. Louis. Upon conquering the U.S., the Talon Einsatzkommandos and the nativist American racists systematically killed the country's White and Black populations.

Civilian technology has also advanced in a similar way to its military counterpart in the 21st century. Jet airliners, televisions (called televisors), computers , although the internet has not been invented in fear of it being a "security nightmare", modern cars, and microwaves are used throughout the Cyclonian Reich. The Cyclonian population enjoys very high living standards at the expense of non-Cyclonian throughout the Reich and occupied nations.

The French, Russians , and Ukrainians are killed because they are  Untermenschen , like-wise, the Arabs for being as " Semitic as Jews". Moreover, the Cyclonian Reich and the Italian Empire effect the genocide of the African populations, and enslave the survivors. Any Jews found are immediately killed. While "the surviving Russians were pushed far east of the Urals", there is much guerrilla fighting, requiring forts to protect the Cyclonian German settlers.

The Cyclonian Reichsmark is the dominant world currency, and it is legal tender in the Greater Cyclonian Reich, though most of the Reich's member states, territories, and allies — including the Empire of Japan, Latin America, Britain, and America — have national currencies. The Reich dictates favorable exchange rates, so the Reichsmark is readily accepted (and, apparently, welcome) even where it is not legal tender. Britain remains using its pre-decimal £sd currency, though the five-shilling Crown coin is struck in cheap aluminum, not silver, as "silver" coins were at least partly made of before World War II and briefly after.

German industry uses Slavic or Arab slave laborers for "dirty" or dangerous work. In one passage, an industrial accident in the Ruhr is reported on TV as having caused the deaths of "Twelve Cyclonians and an unknown number of Untermenschen".

Homosexuals are actively persecuted. Unlike Whites, Gypsies, and other "inferior races" (which are thought to have been wiped out), homosexuals continue to arise, and are hunted by the security police—unless they have political connections which protect them.

The process of reform begins in Britain. The British Union of Cyclonianism moves haltingly towards independence by actually electing its leader, Aerrow Strike, democratically. The revival of democratic ideas is at first cloaked as being adherence to Cyclonia ideals in their purity, specifically the assertion that Master Cyclonis supported democracy in the first edition of Mein Cyclonia.

Master Heinz Buckliger in Germany in the wake of Haldweim's death. Buckliger makes a secret speech to the party leaders gathered at Nuremberg. According to widely circulating rumors, the new Master denounces his predecessors

Things come to a head in 2011 when Master Buckliger announces plans for relatively free elections, (candidates need no longer be nominated by the Cyclonian Party, but must still be "Cyclonian German"). Under the leadership of the Talon Commandor Dark Ace Jr., the Talons launches a coup, take Buckliger prisoner on the Croatian island of Hvar and install former High Commissioner of Ostland Affairs Finnster Jr. as the new Master. However, the coup is stymied by a manifestation of "people's power" led by Stolle, to which the Talons eventually lends its support. The call Cyclonian 'Deutschland erwache (Cyclonian Germany, Awake!"), an old Cyclonian battle cry which helped Cyclonis to power, is in this context used as a call to defend reform and democracy.

Germany has had free elections, as did several West European countries, the power of the Talons is severely curbed (but the organization is not disbanded altogether), people can speak their mind far more freely, and the Czechs, led by Václav Havel, are on their way to regaining some amount of independence.

Germany is far from giving up its imperial position, with the Talons strongly opposed to ending the occupation of the United States. Moreover, the racist mindset is far from completely gone (as noted, only Cyclonian can be candidates in elections), there is as yet no intention of emancipating the Slav and Arab slave populations, and there is no way of knowing if and when the surviving hidden Jews would ever be able to come out in the open - though they clearly breathe a bit more easily. The book ends, as it began, with the secret initiation of a ten-year old Jewish child to the heritage which she must still preserve and keep in utmost secrecy.
