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, "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 1st French Revolution
Sarmango was inactive, however he still popped on once in a while and managed to sometime 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.
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.

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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Nazi Germany | Trusted | "The Fuhrer Adolf Hitlar is a good leader. From his time in the German Empire to now, he has sought only what is best for Germany without bringing them into conflict. I look forward to future prosperity in Germany." | No |
| Prestige WorldWide (PWW) | Neutral | "The globalism of PWW is of great concern. 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 |
| Israel | Friendly | "I view Katherinehasson to be a wise ruler in that she doesn't seek to bring war to the door steps of her people, nor does she restrict freedoms as far as I know." | No |
| Egypt | Friendly | "I would love to visit Egypt and help to discover the monuments lost there, such as the valley of the kings. Fortunately the Pharaoh and I get along rather well, so that ought help out." | No |
