The situation in 2000

The Celtic Tiger roars: Bertie Ahern's Ireland is the fastest-growing economy in Europe, neutral, in the Union and the euro, and outside the Defence Union. Britain has left Europe; the border with the North has never mattered more.

The focus tree

Ireland's own tree has 154 focuses. It opens with A Republic Come of Age, The Celtic Tiger, The Defence White Paper, The Naval Service, The Air Corps, The Bank Guarantee. By kind: political (79), industry (46), army xp (29), historical (18). Taking every focus, one after another, would take about 16 years - the roads are exclusive, so a playthrough sees only part of it.

Drag to pan, Ctrl + scroll to zoom, click a focus for its description and rewards. Focus names in the guides below jump to it.

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.
