The situation in 2000

Hafez al-Assad pulled Syria out of the Gulf coalition the moment Israel struck back at Iraq in 1991. Now, after three decades in power, he is ailing, and his son Bashar is being prepared to succeed him. Syria still dominates Lebanon.

TNDThe New Dawn

What if Chernobyl had broken the Soviet Union? In 1986 Moscow buried the disaster, Ukraine rose, and by 1988 the Union was gone. A bloodier Gulf War and a split over Yugoslavia ended NATO, and Europe built a Defence Union of its own. TND starts Hearts of Iron IV on 1 January 2000 in that world - real leaders, modern armies, and a unique focus tree for every major nation - and lets you decide what the new century becomes.
