It really depends on one factor: have you westernized?
1) yes you westernized: then since all colonial nations are aiming for that trophy, you will be held in check until Scramble for Africa event. You can expand to the coastlines of South Africa, but otherwise you cannot get deep inside the heart of Africa
2) No you are not westernized: you are free to expand however you wish. HOWEVER, when the Scramble for Africa happens, you will be besieged from all sides and I WILL approve of your territory being taken by others. As you could think, I usually don't allow this unless both sides agree to the treaty. However, for the event, I am allowing all African territory up for grabs.
It is up to you whether you will confine yourself for a safe expansion, or gather allies and expand rapidly so that you can keep your ancestral homeland. Either way, with exception of coastlines, I am not allowing anyone to claim African mainlands until Scramble in-IC event.

Full Nation Name : Second French Republic
Official Culture : French
Territorial Core : Mainland France, Corsica, Martinique, Guadeloupe
Territorial Claim : Algeria, Tunisia, Guiana, Senegal, Namibia, Vietnam, and New Zealand
Capital City : Paris
Population : 35.6 million in mainland France and Corsica, 17.0 million in the overseas colonies (Algeria, Tunisia, Guiana, Senegal, Namibia, Vietnam, New Zealand, Guadeloupe, Martinique)
Government Type : A Social and Democratic Republic with a constitution that rules in the interests of the French industrial working class and peasantry
Government Ideology/Policies : Gradualist socialism
Government Focus : Industrialization in the nation's primary goal, followed by martial strength.
Head of State : The monarchy was repeatedly abolished in 1793, 1830, and 1848.
Head of Government : President Maximilian Travilliste
Government Description :
Majority/State Religion : Roman Catholic Church
Religious Description : The Roman Catholic Church is the majority religion, but there is a campaign to guarantee some liberties to religious minorities. (Protestants, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists)
Economic Ideologies : Market socialism
Major Production : The nation's wines, luxury clothing, and expensive furniture is purchased by the elite throughout the world. France also exports machine tools, medicines, and cosmetics. Exports of machinery are prioritized for the nation's allies.
Economic Description : France is in the throws of industrialization. Finance, textiles, mining, metallurgy, glasswork, and wine are all major industries. The nation still depends upon extracting resources from its colonies, but slavery was finally abolished in 1848. Indicative economic planning is regularly used by the state to rationalize economic development. Economic planners follow a dirigiste ideology, where the state does not merely regulate market activity. Some of the commanding heights of heavy industry are state-owned enterprises, including the postal service, grocery stores, railroads, telegraph wires, ports, electricity, finance, shipbuilding, and arms manufacturing.
Army Strength : Elan is the French military's greatest strength. Intensive psychological training guarantees a true esprit de corps, uniting volunteers soldiers from all the nation's possessions into arguably the greatest fighting force in the world, the Foreign Legion. Men sign up for the Foreign Legion form all corners of the world, despite racism in French society.
Army Weakness : French artillery is inferior to its foreign counterparts. The nation is experimenting with imported artillery in order to modernize all facets of warfare. Prussian cannon and English shipbuilding especially interest military planning.
Naval Strength : The navy is currently modernizing its armaments. A series of reforms have been issued from shipbuilding all the way down to food rations.
Naval Weakness : France imports naval technology from England and Germany... for now.
Further Military Description :
Roughly 500,000 soldiers at full mobilization
Line Infantry - 320 battalions
Light Infantry - 30 battalions of chasseurs
Heavy Cavalry - 20 cuirassier regiments
Line Cavalry - 16 dragoon and 8 lancer regiments
Light Cavalry - 16 chasseur and 8 hussar regiments. Spahis regiments.
Artillery - 16 field and 4 horse regiments
8 Man-of-Wars, 4 Ironclad, 15 Sloop-of-Wars, 20 Ship-of-Line, 50 brigs, 200 patrol boats
National Goals : Completing industrialization, development of the colonies, and building market socialism
National Issues : Despite the nation's new socialist rhetoric, severe poverty and inequality persist, especially in the exploited colonies. Finally addressing poverty is crucial to preventing another revolt.
History : Louis XIV ruled over France between 1643 and 1715. Known as the Sun King, he effectively centralized the administration of the kingdom, weakening the power of both the aristocracy and the church. His Edict of Fontainebleau obliterated Protestantism in France, resulting in mass deaths among heretics. Perhaps his greatest coup was the construction of Versailles, a decedent palace where the aristocrats fiddled away their time with idle amusements while the king dealt with the actual government of the country. His finance minister, Jean-Baptiste Colbert, reinforced mercantilist policy throughout the colonies, cracked down on the horrendous levels of tax evasion among the nobility, and supported domestic manufacturing. Unfortunately the Sun King also engaged in too many wars, which later resulted in a dangerously high national debt. Louis XIV's military adventures included the Franco-Spanish War (1635–59), Battle of Saint Gotthard (1664), War of Devolution (1667-8), Franco-Dutch War (1672–8), War of the Reunions (1683–4), War of the Grand Alliance (1688-97), and finally the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-14). Despite the Sun King's relentless jingoism, he is remembered for making France Europe's foremost power before the Revolution.
The 18th century was tumultuous for France. Although France won minor wars over Spain, Poland, and Austria, it was humiliated during the Seven Years' War (1756–63). France was forced to cede Louisianne, Canada, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Tobago to Great Britain. France did not get over this defeat. Kings Louis XV and Louis XVI supported rebel movements in the British 13 Colonies and their newly acquired Louisianne throughout the 1760's, 1770's, and 1780's. This revenge paid off handsomely when most of Britain's North American colonies gained independence. The United States were recognized in 1776, as was Louisianne in 1784.
1789 forever changed European history. Longstanding war debts, an oppressive feudal class structure, corruption scandals, new enlightenment ideals, and a particularly bad harvest triggered the first capitalist revolution. The Ancien Régime was toppled by the Jacobins, who abolished feudalism, monarchism, the Roman Catholic Church, and slavery. Price controls were established to reduce hunger, seigneurial privileges were revoked, and nationalism was born. Levée en masse militarism allowed Revolutionary France to defeat all the great power of Europe in the 1790's: Austria, Prussia, Britain, Russia, Spain, Portugal, Holland, the Ottomans, French royalists, and various Italian states.
At the end of the eighteenth century Napoleon Bonaparte seized power, both ending and cementing the Revolution. While the radical campaigns for equality and atheism ended, he supported the new bourgeois class while limiting the power of the church. Bonaparte guaranteed religious liberty, wrote the modern law code, founded the police state, reinstated slavery in the colonies, and created the greatest army the world had ever seen. French imperial conquests expanded the capitalist reforms throughout much of Europe, before Bonaparte was finally defeated by a massive coalition of monarchies. The victorious kingdoms installed the Bourbon Dynasty in France in 1815, which barely survived Bonaparte's hundred day return to power.
Throughout the first half of the nineteenth century France's various dynasties expanded its colonial holdings into Algeria, Guiana, Senegal, Vietnam, and New Zealand. Despite losing Haiti during the Revolution, France's Caribbean possessions continued to greatly enrich the metropol. In 1830 a botched anti-monarchist revolution installed the House of Orleans. Capitalism and colonial wealth continued to mature during the first half of the nineteenth century, while poverty and working conditions became ever more dire. Freedoms of the press, assembly, and religion were repeatedly restricted, further aggravating the nation's political crisis.
The Revolutionary Wave that swept Europe in 1848 toppled the French Crown in February, which was replaced by the Second Republic. Because the monarchy's forces were bogged down in Algeria, the 1848 June Days Uprising succeeded, changing the nation's ruling ideology to market socialism. Labor unions were legalized, large sectors of the economy were nationalized, and policies were instituted to address the grievances of the poor and unemployed. The current government has a gradualist ideology; it aims to avoid another revolution by embracing democratic reforms.

Also i know my claimed territory will come under fire i will fix it but i have to work in the morning so goodnight
I would recommend removing Switzerland from your claims. The Swiss people are fiercely stubborn, and at this point just want everyone else to stop invading them and just stay neutral. Not to mention the majority of Swiss people at the time were Protestant or Calvinist, so that's even more reason to resist your rule. At the very least, I'd say you would have a hell of a time taking the country, and your would probably have revolutions popping up from time to time.
