France

This article is about the nation in VMJ World; for other nations named France, see France (disambiguation).

France (officially the French Republic) is a nation located in Western Europe. Bordering the English Channel in the north, Central Europe in the east, the Mediterranean Sea in the South, Iberia in the southwest and Bay of Biscay in the west in its greatest extent. France eventually lost its southern and western part due to inactivity.

The Provisional Government
The French Republic was founded on Oct 24, 2020 with the intent of being a democratic republic but its population is deemed too low for an election. A provisional government is therefore established with the nation's founder as its leader until the population grows large enough. During this rule, the construction of Paris and Bordeaux started.

The Corsican Issue
On October 25th 2020, Sardinia offers to purchase Corsica. However, it doesn't have enough diamonds to buy it. France compromises by offering to create a condominium on Corsica. Sardinia accepts the offer and Corsica becomes a condominium between the two nations. After a while, France let Sardinia take complete control over Corsica.

The Windmill Incident
On October 28th, French and Dutch relations were incredibly tense. Those relations nearly reached a breaking point when a Dutchman named Mradper unintentionally built a windmill on the French side of the Franco-Dutch border. This crisis initially got solved with Goosw leaving Dutch items in the windmill. However Pieinyoureye, under the belief that since the windmill was built in French territory, it is thus French, along with the resources inside. The issue nearly caused a conflict until Goosw intervened and let the Dutch take their stuff through a treaty. The Dutch responded by removing Multi from the diplomatic council and the French followed by revoking Pie the right to represent France in foreign affairs.

Bigmanland war on Sardinia, end of the provisional government
One hour after the establishment of democracy, BigManLand declares war on Sardinia. The entire Europe joins the war on Sardinian's side instantly causing BigManLand to get overwhelmed and capitulate. The situation with Bigmanland was one of the causes or the installation of democracy, as the French population disagreed with the neutral stance the government was taking towards a nation that had been actively and repeatedly raiding French territory. Goosw steps down as the provisional governor, handing the title to Waffle. Waffle calls for an election to be held, in which Pie is declared the first President of France. France enters an era of democracy.

The Coalition Wars
Nation of DaddyGod was established on November 10. Later renamed to "God" on the 14th, is a nation located in Wales, which usually went raiding its neighbours just as Bigmanland had done. France began mobilizing again, but fear ensued after the fall of the UTNE. The Dutch Civil War immobilized the coalition, and France feared that they may be alone if Indonesia moved against them next, a plan that they were certainly planning to implement. Luckily, the Dutch finished their civil war, and Indonesia was defeated in the Indonesian War. France later volunteered against Antarctica in the Antarctic War.

Decline and Collapse
France continued to survive for nearly two months after the Coalition wars, occasionally entering into disputes with neighbours, but none resulted in any major changes or wars However, as the player numbers of France dwindled, they struggled to maintain their precarious position bordering powers such as Hoeland and the Netherlands. Second Provisional Government and the Second Republic was declared in December as attempts to save the republic failed. The republic was ended on the 7th of January, as holding the country became more trouble than it was worth.

Angevin and the Restoration of the French nation
Angevin was born after the Collapse of Rome but the nation became short-lived after 2 of the 3 founders left the nation. Goosw, the only person that stayed was pressured to unclaim land due to having not enough people to sustain it. He later unclaimed England, removed the English Channel land bridges and declared the Third Republic of France.

The Third Provisional Government and the Third Republic
The last French Republic. A shell of its former self as the population was little and activity was low. As attempts made to revive the nation failed, goosw remained to be active until the end to keep the French nation as a symbolic act.
