''Neuropa" is also the name of an Australian synth-pop band.''

'''Neuropa''' is a [[neologism]], first used in English in 1941 by the prominent [[Pan-Africanism|Pan Africanist]] [[W.E.B. DuBois]]. His article "Neuropa: Hitler's New World Order" discussed comparisons between his experiences in Germany in [[1892]] - [[1894]] and his trips there in [[1928]] and [[1936]]. The term did not come into general use in English, perhaps because of unfamiliarity with the play on words. Neu is [[German language|German]] for new, and 'Europa' is the word for Europe in German and many other European languages.

There is no was ever used in [[Nazi Germany]]. However the word has been used in [[Scandinavia|Scandinavian]] countries, with no apparent derivation from Du Bois' text. The term 'Neue Ordnung'  (New Order) was the most prominent of the terms used to describe Nazi ideas about the future organisation of Europe, but it also applied to the new social order in Germany itself. Racial hierarchy, [[ethnic cleansing]], [[Generalplan Ost|German resettlement in the East]], the creation of Nazi puppet states, and gigantic infrastructural projects, were all considered.
