Let's face it: Those Wacky Nazis make great villains. Between their aesthetic, their ideology, and their absolutely monstrous rap sheet, it's no wonder they pop up as antagonists a lot. But unlike with many other ideologies, Nazism no longer has a country to call its own, since Nazi Germany fell to the Allied Powers at the end of World War II.
So what's a contemporary Nazi to do? Why, try to bring about another Nazi state, of course!
Simply put, this trope is about Nazis attempting to build a new country dedicated to the ideas of Nazism. Bonus points if it's led by a resurrected Adolf Hitler or a clone of him. Their attempts will generally fail, though they'll sometimes succeed, if only briefly. On rare occasions, the story may begin after a successful effort to create a new Nazi country. While "Reich" traditionally refers to states centered on Germany, the Fourth Reich doesn't necessarily have to be there; as long as it's a Nazi country, it qualifies for the trope. Argentina is a popular non-Germany country.
May overlap with Stupid Jetpack Hitler. For cases of the Third Reich winning or at least surviving, see Alternate-History Nazi Victory. Compare A Nazi by Any Other Name, a fictional Nazi-like organization with little to no connection with actual Nazis.

Referenced, possibly spoofed, on Cheers. Cliff claims that a new resident in his apartment building is actually Hitler and starts investigating him, at one point talking about preventing the "Fourth Reich." Eventually, his landlord tells him to cut it out...leading Cliff to conclude that Hitler had brainwashed him.

Magic, Metahumans, Martians and Mushroom Clouds: An Alternate Cold War: A few years after WWII ends, Otto Skorzeny and other surviving Nazis carry out a contingency plan of Himmler's and awaken Frederick Barbarossa and his knights from their slumber under the mountain in order to retake control of Germany. Their combined forces declare the Holy Fourth Reich and launch a campaign that conquers Thuringia and marches on Berlin... where they're wiped out by the vastly technologically superior Allied and Soviet occupational forces.

Whateley Universe: Referenced multiple times:
Adolf Hitler survived World War II and made an attempt at this, according to Mephisto the Mentalist in "Razzle Dazzle (Part 2)":
From "The Final Trump (Part 2)" it seems like a villain mentioned in other stories, Baron Blitzen, is involved with them, trying to get a thing called The Eye of Lemuria from a ship:
Mentioned multiple times in "Eisenmadel 1: Summer of my German Heritage (Part 2)":

The spin-off Past Doctor Adventures novel "The Shadow in the Glass" saw the Sixth Doctor discover another Fourth Reich led by the secret son of Adolf Hitler, who is now the exact double of his father. However, this Fourth Reich uses what Hitler Junior believes to be a scrying glass to see the future and prepare for their new war, but the Doctor knows that the "glass" is actually part of an alien navigation system trying to manipulate the Nazis into bringing it back to its original ship. The threat is dealt with when Hitler Junior forces the Doctor to take him back in time to meet his father, only for Hitler to dismiss his son as a madman and shoot him, allowing the Doctor's allies in the present to clean up the remaining Nazi cells.

The Marvel Universe has many Nazi villains who seek to create a new Nazi state. For example:
The Red Skull from Captain America has made multiple attempts to take over the world in the name of the Nazi cause. One memorable example was him temporarily seizing control of the Kingdom of Latveria from Doctor Doom and subjecting it to Nazi rule.
The first modern incarnation of Hydra attempted to establish a new Nazi government. Of course, later incarnations have gone back and forth on Nazism.
In Master of Kung Fu, Shang-Chi finds himself opposing Wilhelm Bucher and his Fourth Reich project in the Amazon jungle.
Also in Captain America, the Kubekult was a group of Neo-Nazis that sought to free Hitler's consciousness from a Cosmic Cube, as well as use said cube to create what they called the "New World Reich."

For All Time: After the Soviet Union collapses into nuclear civil war in the 1980's, the divided remnants of Germany reunify and go on to establish the National German Republic, led by Reich Chancellor Jörg Haider by the 2000's. Subverted in the sense that, while they're authoritarian, they don't bring back Nazi policies. In fact, under them, Germany's Jewish population actually increases to numbers not seen since the Weimar Republic.

Delta Green: The Karotechia, the remnants of Hitler's occult program hiding in South America seek to create this. One of the few surviving members (after the organization was mostly destroyed in World War 2 and hunted down by Delta Green and Mossad), "Dr." Olaf Bitterich was contacted by the "ascended spirit" of Hitler, who claimed he became one of the ascended masters (along with Jesus, Buddha, and the High Priests of Atlantis) with the sacrifices of the concentration camps, and revealed his third book Mein Triumph, ordering the creation of a Fourth Reich now based on occultism and magic. The "Ascended spirit" is yet another mask of Nyarlathotep, being a dick as usual. "The Fourth Reich" technically refers to a massive conspiracy led by the Karotechia, as they control a network of Bauern ("Pawns") that indirectly work for them, believing they are working for the non-supernatural ODESSA (an organization of escaped Nazis), composed by Nazi fugitives in South American and Middle Eastern militaries, criminal cartels, white supremacists, neo-fascists, neo-nazis and anti-zionist jihadis.

A neo-Nazi organization that calls itself the Fourth Reich makes a brief appearance in the Nightside series as one of the numerous factions contending over possession of the Unholy Grail. Subverted in that they are massacred en masse by competitors for the relic before they even see it — never mind using its power to establish a new Nazi empire — and only appear on-page as buckets of blood-spatter when Taylor and Suzie arrive to search their headquarters.

Discussed in The Haunted World of El Superbeasto: After spending the whole movie chasing Suzie X for kidnapping and blowing up Hitler's disembodied head, Commandant Hess (with his army of Nazi Zombies) claims that whoever does so shall be afflicted with the Nazi curse and be hounded by the second coming of the Third Reich. Suzie X then points out that it would technically be the first coming of the Fourth Reich.

This trope took off just about as soon as it was chronologically even possible. Rocket Ship Galileo, the first of Robert A. Heinlein's "sci-fi juveniles", was published in 1947 and features a secret Nazi base on the Moon dedicated to establishing a Fourth Reich. Readers of the time likely thought that landing men on the Moon was probably the most implausible part of the story.

The Boys from Brazil by has an elderly Josef Mengele proclaim that the Fourth Reich will emerge in the future, which is later revealed to be due to him having created 94 clones of Adolf Hitler and covertly embedded them with select couples abroad more than a decade before the events of the book take place. He deems the time right for phase two: assassinate the adoptive fathers, who are all civil servants, leaving the boys to be raised by their doting mothers, recreating the original Hitler's childhood. He's certain that at least one will develop into the zealous, charismatic Führer for a new generation. The anti-Nazi protagonists also realize that several Hitler clones potentially teaming up in the then-future 1990s is a very scary prospect. The book ends with an unnamed Hitler clone drawing a picture of himself giving a Hitler-esque speech in front of a large audience.

"The New Order Last Days Of Europe:"
Zig-zagged by the Aryan Brotherhood, a raider statelet of Boomerang Bigots who desperately try to ape Hitler's regime. If they succeed (somehow), they will form the Russiky Reykh, right next to the Third Reich's colony in Moskowien, making this a rare case of an example of the trope co-existing with its inspiration.
Deconstructed by the terminally-dysfunctional Ordenstaat-Burgund, effectively the dumping ground for disgraced SS members including Heinrich Himmler, who after failing to usurp the government in Germania (Berlin) then intends to wipe out all human civilisation save for his own bunkers in a global thermonuclear war, repopulating from there. Even if nuclear war happens people of all races and dreeds survive the bombs, and those in the bunkers are so conditioned to believe only Aryans could survive that they immediately accept them as fellow Aryans, defeating the whole point of the entire plan.

The Sum of All Fears is a global political thriller wherein an Austrian tycoon obtains a nuclear device that was lost by the Israelis during the Syrian incursion of the Golan Heights. The villain plans to detonate this device in Baltimore, Maryland and expects this to trigger nuclear warfare between the United States and the Russian Federation. After a coup for the German chancellery, Dressler aims to seize all of Europe and establish an enduring Fourth Reich. (The film is an adaptation of the novel by Tom Clancy, but with considerable changes to the plot; among others, this trope is not present in the book, where the villains were overall more realistic, and Arab terrorists rather than Nazis.)
