France is a nation in western Europe. It was founded by Sarmango who ruled as an absolute dictator until his abdication to KadeTheDank

Pre-France History

Until this France was founded France had been in utter disarray. France today is still covered in ruins of past attempts to make something of the land. Many nations tried and left and this France, although promising on paper, has had a shaky route to survival.

Early Attempts at making France

The first attempt to create France as a nation was done by 73beetle, who created Vichy France. This Vichy state was ruled from Marseilles, southern France. It didn't gain much traction and the leader left to found Austria after a short time. It is thought one of the main reasons for its failure is that they didn't own Paris.

History

Founding

Modern France has been created by Sarmango, the former mayor of Vatican City. Growing tired of failure after failure in the Papal State, like that of the proposed nation the "Holy Mediterranean Empire" or the proposed Silk Road project, Sarmango had long planned to abandon the Papal State. Debating to move to Chile or to Poland, an opportunity arose. Paris, which had previously been a small ruin owned by a German mayor, had become unclaimed. Seizing the moment Sarmango founded Paris. This was the first time in history that France had been a unified nation ruled from Paris.

Development

France, soon after founding, tried with some measure of success to create a world-power out of it. It worked well at first, gaining many towns both in France and in colonies. It even, when Germany collapsed, briefly became the premier power in Europe, absorbing many German towns. However, Sarmango went inactive, coming on only once a month or so, and France entered a long period of stagnation.

Stagnation, "The Sleeping France"

This led to the continual collapse of most French towns, eventually leaving Paris as the only town remaining. To compound the problems first Spain then Germany made a resurgence and quickly displaced any power France had in Europe, with France being split between a southern Spanish-controlled area and a northern German-controlled one. Although France still had some towns, they also became inactive and over time collapsed.

Resurgence and War

Sarmango was inactive, however he still popped on once in a while and managed to sometimes invite new towns into France, such as Royan. However The October War saw France completely inactive but also a major battle ground, with no active leader during the war the newly invited towns left. Royan was attacked twice and many other towns in France saw attacks, but lacking an active leader they either left France and joined either Spain or Germany, or else they completely packed up and left France. After the end of The October War a new power started gaining towns in France. Russia, which was a fairly new nation although already giant, started inviting towns all over Europe to join them, particularly ones in France. This gave another power a hold on the region besides the normal duo of Spain and Germany. Though Russian influence would wane, it will still invite towns from France and is a "Third Way", between either the inactive France or the powerful neighbors Spain and Germany.

1st French Revolution

French Union vs France (With German Help)

After a brief interlude following The October War and Russian control gaining in France, FrankUnderwod2, of Belgium created his own French nation, the French Union. Its goal was to reunite France, removing foreign powers from France, and compete with the totally inactive France as led by Sarmango. Frank was relatively successful, even moving from Belgium to Lyon and overseeing the collapse of the Spanish-controlled southern France while creating many new towns and colonies for France. Oddly, even though this was a competitor to France, the French Union restored prestige ti the region of France and quickly became a power to be reckoned with. Later Socciety of Germany (Maybe under German pressure) Made the town of Lorraine in France and tried to push German interests in France, Frank would have none of it and there were many skirmishes between the Germans and the French Unionists.

French Union vs New France (With German Help) vs France

Things got even more confusing when Socciety switched towns with KadeTheDank, also of Germany, and then Kade created New_France, with the exactly same goals as Frank's French Union had, reunite France, and overcome the inactive Sarmango. This created even more problems, as Kade and Frank fought each other and both wished to gain Paris, even though that was Sarmango's capital. Germany supported New France, which was its vassal while Spain was too busy elsewhere to care and Russia had lost most of its French towns to Frank.

French Peace - France Reawakened

With the urging of paperpikmin of Germany and others Sarmango came online to help sort the whole affair out. The three way civil war would end: Sarmango would keep control of Paris and of the nation of France, Frank would become chancellor under Sarmango and keep Lyon, disbanding the French Union and bringing all French Union towns into France, Kade would disband New_France and also become Chancellor under Sarmango.

This reunited France, and although Sarmango remained inactive he would have the active Frank and Kade as effective leaders. Frank was able to end the war before any foreign intervention occurred against him, and Kade, the weakest of the 3 Frances, but with German support, stayed alive and became effective leader.

2nd French Revolution

After a short bit of this, Frank did not think he could work with Kade and the Germans, so he remade the French Union, managed again to divide France and took most actives besides Kade with him. However this revolution, with the same goals as the last French Union, to overthrow Sarmango and rebuild France, however promising, was quickly stifled when Frank gave up hope that Kade and the Germans would ever allow it, and moved the Latvia (where he was shortly banned). Frank giving up may have saved France from complete collapse, but it just brought in more inactivity.

Sarmango's Abdication

Kade, now the only chancellor left in France, with German support, pushed for full control of France. Sarmango finally gave up, and turned over power to him. However what could have been a great to leader welcomed in with a huge euphoria or excitement by the French people, quickly ended when Kade turned out to be only slightly less inactive as Sarmango.

Kade's Rule

Kade, welcomed in with much promise and with many newly-active Frenchmen to support him, then became inactive. This was demoralizing for some Frenchmen, with some quiting forever. Although France never suffered the same collapse as it had prior to the 1st French Revolution, it still made the French Union days look glorious in comparison. France also lost some of its autonomy as it became a vassal of Germany, and most foreign affairs are conducted through Germany. France had a couple of players who devote themselves to France, such as M_Randford, Mustachegames, and others, but Kade does not share power with them, leaving some to quit the server and others to move out of France.

Starting

In particular there is Mustachegames, he led Dunkerque-Royan, and asked to be chancellor of France, due to Kade's inactivity (Which Kade did not grant him). France is unofficially but almost practically led by Mustache, who is about the only active Frenchmen left. Kade also plunged France into The Great War on the side of the Axis, even though his reasoning is unknown. Mustache has called for a new French leader and supposedly Kade has been ignoring their calls for fair elections.

Monafrance vs France

Mustache felt betrayed by Kade and France, and joined Monaco, greatly expanding it. The remaining active Frenchmen came along with him while Kade continued inactively.

Towns

France has core towns, which are geographically part of France, and it has colonies. Other towns that may be part of the empire are considered to be "accessory towns". Colonies are given the choice of self determination. Residents of the town are also only there voluntarily. However core towns may not fully leave France.

• Caen
• Dunkerque

Foreign Relations

France treads carefully on the world stage. Not intervening in a conflict unless conflict is brought to it, France follows a policy of non-aggression. The majority of allies it has it considers to be allies only against terrorism. Aside from terrorists from Tortugas and a notable disagreement with the mayor of Leipzig, France gets along well. Although the mayor of Leipzig, ego_sum_jeffum, has attempted to hire mercenaries to have Sarmango killed in the past, Sarmango chooses to mostly ignore him.

Nation		l'Empereur's Opinion	Embassy

It is a direct disruption of the balance of power that one nation more powerful than the bottom three quarters of nations combined can teleport to anywhere in the world. Fortunately for us they are mostly benevolent in their power and choose to mostly keep the native culture of towns. I was consulted by a representative of the United States to enter a war with PWW and I refused."	No
