When Nordreich was reestablished in May 2009 it was a gamble with no promised payoff. Having taken many twists and turns throughout its time in Cyber Nations, Nordreich was not particularly well liked or respected by many on the modern Planet Bob. Its legacy had been demonized by newcomers who only understood what was told to them by second or third parties and not by members of the Reich themselves. It was widely suggested that Nordreich travel a new path to rediscover its success in Cyber Nations. So why write a history we may better forget?
