SS State of Burgundy/Gameplay

In-game

Burgundy is a rather secretive, isolationist state, and as such, with the exceptions of the French State and certain victors of the German Civil War, will not have interactions with any other country. Gameplay wise, Burgundy instead relies heavily on manipulating other countries from the shadows. This is reflected in their focus trees - while you cannot view the text of a focus while controlling another country, for Burgundy, should one attempt to look at their focus trees while not playing as Burgundy, all focuses will be labeled as "STRENG GEHEIM" (German for "Top Secret"), to further represent the isolationist nature of Burgundy. When the German Civil War begins, Burgundy will invade France, and due to the vast differences in army sizes between the two, will be guaranteed to win and take territory from the French State (but will not take all of France).

Additionally, there is a series of investigations that Burgundy must carry out to maintain stability, dealing with both internal enemies and resistance groups.

Burgundy, when controlled by the AI, can collapse in the 1970s or at Himmler's death in 1981. However, should the player control Burgundy, it is entirely possible for it to collapse before then.
