Arthropol Q&A
Arthropol, officially the Kingdom of Arthropol (French: Royaume d'Arthropol), is a sovereign state whose territory consists of metropolitan Arthropol in Western Europe, as well as several overseas regions and territories. The metropolitan area of France extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the border with France, and from Mont Blanc to the Atlantic Ocean. The overseas territories include Arthropolian Guiana in South America and several islands in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans. The country's 15 integral regions (five of which are situated overseas) span a combined area of 266,596 square kilometres and a total population of 72 million (as of June 2018). Arthropol is a unitary parliamentary constitutional monarchy with its capital in Arthropol City, the country's largest city and main cultural and commercial centre. Other major urban centres include Lyon, Bordeaux, Nice and Toulouse. Questions about Arthropol may be asked on this thread, and will be answered by a important political figure (or me if the question is OOC).

Note that Arthropol exists in an alternate reality, and some events, places, or things you mention might be different or not exist in this timeline.

Please direct all IC political questions to either:
Mme. Claire Alard, Prime Minister of Arthropol, Minister of Science
or
M. Adam Lebas, Minister of Foreign Affairs
All questions will then be answered by said person, or another knowledgeable person. Political questions directed to any member of the Royal Family will not be answered.

IC personal questions can be directed to anyone mentioned in forum posts or factbooks.

Please direct all OOC questions to 'The player behind Arthropol' and make it obvious that it is an OOC question.


OOC: Please do not ask any questions similar to "how is my nation viewed in Arthropol?". We won't be answering any since our nations are in different universes. If you want my opinion on your nation, ask OOC. Also, make sure you have sufficient information about your nation in your factbooks. You may ask questions about alternate future nations.

Is your nation name somehow related to Arthropods?

Our flag was made in 1792, by the founders of Arthropol. The blue on each side represents the sea and sky, and the white represents the Pyrenees, the Alps, and our peacefulness.

Recently socialist leaning parties have dominated elections, due to the failure of the Conservative-National coalition in the late 1990's
