Nazis, commies, and theocrats, oh my! These and other assorted scary people live far, far away from your country. There's no way that they could take it over. ... And even if they did, people would fight them off before they could get a foothold. Nobody would help them out. ... Well, even if they did, there's no way those kind of people could come from your country, right? Right? This trope is when Those Wacky Nazis, Dirty Communists, Mega Corps, Private Military Contractors or people who look and act suspiciously similar to any (or all) of them take over the protagonist's country or hometown, often but not always as the result of a war in which they invaded your hometown and won. Communism is a less common (and now even rarer) target for this now, thanks to the end of the Cold War and such, being replaced by Capitalism and Corporatism in the coming age, especially in Cyberpunk settings. See also Invaded States of America and Oppressive States of America for something specific to the United States - columns of foreign troops marching down Pennsylvania Avenue can be a very powerful image when the last time this happened was 200 years ago. May involve The Coup, though it doesn't necessarily need to (that trope is more on the act itself, this trope is more about the after-effects). Often related to War Comes Home. If the newly minted dictatorship is restricted to your office, your club or your school, that's Tyrant Takes the Helm. Compare Emergency Authority, One Nation Under Copyright, People's Republic of Tyranny, Alternate-History Nazi Victory. Has nothing to do with The Day of the Jackal. |

The article's picture is from the Star Trek: Enterprise episode where the crew ends up in an alternate past where, due to Lenin being assassinated by a time traveler prior to the Russian Revolution, Germany, with little opposition to the East, is winning the war and has already captured much of the Eastern Seaboard. While they are hinted at being pushed back by the Allies, a group of aliens are offering the Germans advanced weapons. | |

Kenneth Johnson wanted to make a mini-series based on Sinclair Lewis' It Can't Happen Here. The project was originally called "Storm Warnings." It became V (1983) when the network suggested Americans would be more likely to find the specter of Soviet Russia taking over scary than a homegrown fascist movement. Johnson felt this would destroy the entire point of the source material, and instead chose to make the oppressors aliens. | |

A complicated example appears in Reds!: A Revolutionary Timeline. Given how divided the United States had become between the left and right, the Great Depression proves to be more than the republic could handle. When the Workers' Communist Party wins a landslide election victory, the panicked establishment sees no way out but a military junta. With the constitution suspended, the Army mobilized to put down opposition, and KKK death squads murdering anyone who gets in the way, it was only a matter of time before the left took up arms as well. From the perspective of the average modern reader, neither outcome is desirable. Surprisingly, however, it all works out pretty well in the end. | |

Tarkin's Fist: The descent of the Earth's democracies into authoritarianism during the Empire-Earth War is gradual but steady. Following the destruction of the major cities martial law is declared in the nations whose governments haven't been completely wiped out. Wide spread anarchy in Europe and Africa leads the surviving governments to crack down hard at home and abroad, both as a means of restoring order and preventing violence from escalating. Government brutality is rationalized as a necessary means of getting everyone on Earth focused on repelling the Imperial invasion. Those who speak in opposition, such as the President of Greece, are accused of being unnecessarily divisive in a time of global emergency when action, any action, is desperately needed. The problem is, even after the war, the authorities decide the emergency isn't over. | |

The Mystical Laws: The Godom Empire's footsoldiers successfully set foot in Inasa Beach and proceeded to detain every Japanese civilian they could find. Five months after successfully invading Tsushima, Kitakyūshū, Niigata, and Okinawa, the Imperial government renames Japan as the "Far-East Autonomous Territory" and Tokyo as the "First Controlled Special Economic Zone." Later on, after Shou turned himself over to the Godom soldiers after failing to destroy the Ultimate Destruction Weapon, the Empire successfully took over India and Western Europe. | |

Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade is an example. Though a sort of weird one because the pseudo-Nazis are ruling Japan. It's a criticism of how the LD Party in Japan was considered to have become more and more oppressive during the '50s and '60s. In 1955 the PM was a war criminal, for example. | |

Several examples in Captain Britain The "A Crooked World" arc starts in an alternate world where the UK is ruled by a fascist, far-right government, then shows history repeating itself in the story's usual world, fuelled by the powers of a reality-warping mutant. Captain Britain is tasked with stopping it. More generally, the Captain Britain Corps is an Alliance of Alternates and it's clear that some are from worlds where Nazi Germany won World War II and conquered Britain, whereas others represent worlds where the UK slid into fascism for unspecified reasons. |

The underlying theme of the Imperium series is the collapse of the Roman Republic and the coming of the Roman Empire. There is a scene in Lustrum where Cato lays out quite clearly for Cicero what is to come—the continuing habit of empowering people like Pompey with special commands will result in those commanders controlling the state. The Senate will be powerless and whoever commands the loyalty of the legions will rule. Cato also points out that the expansionism of the Roman Republic is undermining constitutional rule. At one point in Lustrum Tiro talks about how Caesar destroyed the Roman constitution and expresses a wish that Caesar is burning in hell. | |

The Siege of Mandalore arc in the final season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars is set parallel to the events of Revenge of the Sith, and after defeating and capturing Darth Maul (who knows this trope is coming and begs for death after being defeated) Ahsoka senses the battle between the Jedi sent to arrest Chancellor Palpatine and Anakin's involvement, and shortly afterwards, Order 66 is enacted, resulting in Ahsoka's troops turning on her, even Rex, though he manages to impart a vital clue to Ahsoka before his programming takes over that eventually allows her to remove his biochip and free him from the Order. | |

An episode of Misfits took place in an alternate timeline where Germany won World War II and Britain was made into a Nazi province (for extra black comedy, the timeline was the result of a bungled attempt by a Jewish time-traveler to kill Hitler and avert the Third Reich). All things considered, the differences between the timelines are not that great, but still disturbing. The community center is now a detention center for delinquents and undesirables, and people with powers are being rounded up so that Seth the Power Dealer can transfer their abilities into high-ranking Nazi officers. Shaun, the apathetic and slightly corrupt social worker from the real timeline is now an apathetic and very corrupt Nazi official. Curtis and Alisha, being black, are reduced to second-class citizens-Alisha's drunk-driving would have earned her a prison sentence if Shaun hadn't chosen her as his "personal assistant." As a final insult, Simon has been conscripted into the local Nazi regiment, and is bullied into executing defenseless prisoners. | |

After being declared an "open city" that will not resist the oncoming German forces in order to avoid destruction, on June 14, 1940, the Nazi swastika flies over the Arc de Triomphe followed by a military parade and a curfew imposed on the remaining citizenry of the city. | |

Defiance: Season 2 opens after a 9 month Time Skip, during which the Earth Republic has taken complete control of the town. While the E-Rep's propaganda talks about how much safer and prosperous they've made the town, there's also the fact that the gulanite miners are worked so hard that half of them have become drug addicts to cope with it, and accidents are common. Meanwhile, those who speak out against the E-Rep are either locked up, or suffer "accidents". | |

Before people know what is happening, it's been declared illegal to employ women, with them being escorted from their workplaces by armed black-clad men. When protests occur, they're simply gunned down by the same thugs, as the Sons of Jacob take over, creating a theocracy. | |

The Plot Against America: This Alternate History tale depicts an America where the isolationist aviation hero Charles Lindbergh becomes president in 1940 and starts enacting Nazi-friendly policies. In spite of never explicitly demonizing Jews, his policies treat Jews as an alien population who need to be absorbed into "the real America." American government and culture quickly go down a path that draws obvious parallels with Nazi Germany. In the final episode, growing antisemitism ignites into pogroms that clearly evoke Krystalnacht. | |

Twenty-Four Eyes, a film about life in a Japanese fishing village from 1928 to 1946, shows how life very gradually changes as the government becomes more militaristic and oppressive. The songs the students sing change from innocent to jingoistic. The school principal burns a book deemed to be subversive, and warns the Cool Teacher that she might be called a "Red" and get thrown in jail if she doesn't watch out. Said teacher eventually quits because she can't stand to prepare her children to be soldiers. | |

A flashback in the Last Train From Oblivion side story of The Conversion Bureau: The Other Side of the Spectrum fits the page quote near-perfectly. The chapter where this happens starts off innocently enough - but towards the end of this segment, Celestia announces that she has taken the Crystal Throne, reveals Earth's existence to the nation, and states her intention to "spread harmony" to this new world. The zebra ambassador angrily declares that Celestia is acting in violation of the Concordia Maxima by not consulting the other species of Equus on the matter of First Contact, while Sweetie Belle, Babs, Fancy Pants and Luna are horrified by the sudden deaths of several dignitaries onboard the Great Equestrian ship. Sadly, they are voices lost in the the crowds of ponies in the streets below them that are cheering for what amounts to the birth of the Solar Empire. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: In Avatar: The Last Airbender, the occupation of Ba Sing Se by the Fire Nation. We see tanks, rhinos, and faceless firebending soldiers line the streets and Fire Nation sigils adorn the Earth King's palace. Mere hours previously, the residents of the city thought this impossible, and several weren't even aware of the war. Something similar happens with the Equalist takeover of Republic City in The Legend of Korra, with troops and mecha-tanks in the streets and Amon maintaining a queue of benders to depower. They go so far as to mount a giant replica of Amon's mask on the statue of Aang, indicating either extreme commitment or way too much time on their hands. Kuvira's Earth Empire pulls a similar routine on the Earth Kingdom, although Republic City isn't "taken over" so much as "besieged by giant mech". |

Seven Days in May is one of the more realistic depictions of this trope, in which a conservative general plots a Military Coup against the President of the United States after he signs a controversial treaty to abolish nuclear weapons. Both the novel and The Film of the Book go into detail showing how a real-life coup could plausibly happen, and address the often-neglected area of public support — the President is down to 29% in the polls, whereas the general is highly popular. | |

Kamen Rider: The Movie of Kamen Rider 555 portrayed an alternate timeline in which the Orphenochs overthrew humanity as dominant species. The world here is ruled by a MegaCorp and everyone inconvenient to the new regime would be disposed of. The Amazon story arc of Kamen Rider Decade took place in a parallel universe which had been completely taken over by Dai-Shocker. The Nazi imagery is really obvious here, as the military police wear German stahlhelms and children are required to salute their superiors with a gesture that resembles the Nazi salute. In OOO, Den-O, All Riders: Let's Go Kamen Riders, some time-travel shenanigans lead the heroes to an alternate timeline where Shocker (after uniting with many of the evil factions of other Rider series) already took over Japan and is close to getting the world as well. This trope is revisited in Super Hero Taisen GP: Kamen Rider #3, where Shocker's newest weapon, Kamen Rider 3, kills the original Double Riders back in the past, creating a timeline where, you guessed it, Shocker controls everything. Complete with combatmen marching on the streets, the Special Crimes Unit all dressing in snazzy Nazi-like uniforms and Zeppelins from Another World. |

The Command & Conquer: Red Alert series depicts the Soviet Union taking over Europe and the USA in dramatic fashion. In their RA ending they occupy London and Buckingham Palace; in RA2 alone, they destroy the Pentagon, bombard the Statue of Liberty into rubble, mind-control the US president, turn the Eiffel Tower into a giant Tesla coil, shut down Wall Street, and start expanding into space; and in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 there's talk of renaming New York after your commander..."Commandersgrad". | |

Bones saves the life of Edith Keeler, which creates an alternate timeline: Keeler is a political pacifist whose activism prevented the U.S.A. from entering World War II, allowing Nazi Germany to conquer the world and develop nuclear weapons. Kirk realizes that in order to keep the world safe, Keeler's death in a car accident will ultimately be for the greater good of the free world. | |

In the Frostpunk scenario "New Home", the player can adopt the "Order and Discipline" path, which pushes the city into an authoritarian state, complete with propaganda centres and prisons draped with black symbols on red banners. Appropriate, given the game's 1887 setting, when the nascent seeds of fascism were starting to develop. | |

A Pearl in the Forest does this literally, with the first shot of the film being an actual pair of jackboots. They are worn by Markhaa, a State Sec officer and Buryat tribesman who is bringing the tyranny of Joseph Stalin to Markhaa's little village in 1937 Mongolia. He's hunting for ethnic Buryats who have fled to Mongolia to escape collectivization in Stalin's Russia. He winds up destroying the village. | |

The Conversion Bureau universe: In The Conversion Bureau: Cold War, Queen Chrysalis replaced Celestia and has been in control of Equestria for about a month and a half before making contact with humanity. A flashback in the Last Train From Oblivion side story of The Conversion Bureau: The Other Side of the Spectrum fits the page quote near-perfectly. The chapter where this happens starts off innocently enough - but towards the end of this segment, Celestia announces that she has taken the Crystal Throne, reveals Earth's existence to the nation, and states her intention to "spread harmony" to this new world. The zebra ambassador angrily declares that Celestia is acting in violation of the Concordia Maxima by not consulting the other species of Equus on the matter of First Contact, while Sweetie Belle, Babs, Fancy Pants and Luna are horrified by the sudden deaths of several dignitaries onboard the Great Equestrian ship. Sadly, they are voices lost in the the crowds of ponies in the streets below them that are cheering for what amounts to the birth of the Solar Empire. |

The Doctor Who serial "Inferno" is set in a Mirror Universe in which the UK is a fascist 'republic', whose paramilitary goons refer to a 'Defence of the Republic Act, 1943', implying the regime was the result of the UK losing the war. | |

Der Disneygang, a YouTube series based on the Hitler Rants meme, the Disney universe gets taken over by the Nazis. Unfortunately, they had all right to, because Hitler legally bought Disney. | |

de Blob 2's early levels play this out in somewhat real time. The Downtown and Blanctown levels have Blob and Pinky uncover the corruption and growing influence of the INKT corporation and its leader, Comrade Black, in the city of Raydia, which all comes to a head in the Senate. Black brainwashes his followers, rigs the election, and immediately implements martial law after becoming president. He imprisons poll workers and political dissidents, deploys the military to stop protesters, and replaces the independent PNN News Network with his own propaganda channel. Blob and Pinky manage to liberate the Senate while the invasion is still taking place, and keep INKT from crushing the student rebellion in the State College, but outside of that, INKT's takeover is absolute. | |

The "A Crooked World" arc starts in an alternate world where the UK is ruled by a fascist, far-right government, then shows history repeating itself in the story's usual world, fuelled by the powers of a reality-warping mutant. Captain Britain is tasked with stopping it. | |

As the storm clouds gathered over Europe and the Far East, Pulp Magazine hero Secret Service Operator #5 (1934 - 1939) fought attempts by various foreign armies from South America, Europe and the Orient to conquer the United States. The events are completely over-the-top as befits the pulp genre, except for the time the Japs destroy an entire city (Philadelphia) with their evil atomic bomb. Only Orientals would do such a dastardly deed... | |

Christian Nation details the rise of a theocratic state in America, as told by someone who fights against it, joining the last holdout of the resistance in New York before being captured, "born again" and released. Part of his reformation was needing to stone a gay friend. | |

Escape from L.A. had the United States ruled by a Christian fundamentalist president, with people being sent to L.A. penitentiary island just for being Muslim (among other so-called "offenses"). He has himself declared President-for-Life and moves the capital to Lynchburg, Virginia, his hometown. The US military has seemingly been weakened, as a ragtag South American army is a genuine threat to the country. We can probably blame Snake for all of this after he screwed up the President's speech in the previous movie. | |

Something similar happens with the Equalist takeover of Republic City in The Legend of Korra, with troops and mecha-tanks in the streets and Amon maintaining a queue of benders to depower. They go so far as to mount a giant replica of Amon's mask on the statue of Aang, indicating either extreme commitment or way too much time on their hands. Kuvira's Earth Empire pulls a similar routine on the Earth Kingdom, although Republic City isn't "taken over" so much as "besieged by giant mech". |

Star Wars: The Bad Batch begins with this trope, adapting the events of Star Wars: Kanan in Broad Strokes. After the titular Bad Batch assist Depa Bilaba and Caleb Dume's clone force in taking out a droid force, Order 66 comes through and Bilaba is gunned down. Caleb flees into the forest with Hunter and Crosshair on his tail, Hunter being just as confused as Caleb due to his mutations rendering his own biochip non-functional and Crosshair being happy to gun him down due to his biochip still partially working. The series proceeds to explore the Bad Batch's place in the galaxy afterwards as they find themselves more alienated from their more programmed "reg" brothers than ever. | |

Timbuktu is an Islamic version of this trope, showing a jihadist group rolling into the town of Timbuktu and imposing a particularly brutal sharia law on the locals. (Inspired by… the 2012 Ansar Dine war in Mali.) | |

The New Order: Last Days Of Europe has two possible flavors of this trope for the United States. Internally, this is the result if Francis Parker Yockey becomes the president. Once in power, he immediately starts unbridling the Klan, and introduce the SAFE act, which effectively muzzles American media. Externally, if Göring manages to win against Russia and Burgundy, he may attempt Fall Rockwell, the invasion of the United States. However, doing so will invariably cause World War III. |

Gabriel Over the White House is a very weird, unsettlingly positive take on a fascist takeover of the USA. It features the U.S. president declaring himself dictator, dissolving Congress so he can rule by decree, having gangsters executed immediately after military trials, and threatening war against any country that defaults on its debts to the U.S. | |

The eighth edition, Blue Alert, follows up on this, portraying how they round up all empowered people to be sent to concentration camps "for their protection", President Fulton is given increasingly extended emergency powers, and all critics of the regime are arrested and killed "while trying to escape". | |

The Amazon story arc of Kamen Rider Decade took place in a parallel universe which had been completely taken over by Dai-Shocker. The Nazi imagery is really obvious here, as the military police wear German stahlhelms and children are required to salute their superiors with a gesture that resembles the Nazi salute. | |

AMC Squad has this happen in the mission "The Revolution," where a fascist political movement known as the Imperial Union takes over Highwire's home country of Russia and rules it with an iron fist. Highwire, of course, is displeased with this, and the Earth Defense Force's lack of response to the crisis prompts the Russian officer to leave the organization and lead a rebellion against the Union, with the intent of taking down the fascist government and kill its leader, Prokhor Vilmos. | |

On Revolution the Monroe Republic has shades of this, but Monroe is really just a dictatorial warlord and has no real ideology behind him. In season 2, the Patriots, The Remnant of the old US Government, start taking over the Eastern Seaborn and are a much straighter example with their fanaticism and brainwashing camps. The protagonists are living in a small town in Texas when the Patriots arrive to 'save' the town from a savage tribe of raiders. They soon find out that the Patriots hired the raiders themselves to create a pretext for the presence of Patriot troops. Soon enough martial law is invoked. | |
