France develops a fair portion of its military industry, while exporting a lot. It does contract equipment from other European members, and sometimes the US, but can be self dependent if needed.
Extra military information - The largest armed forces within the European Union and one of two nuclear powers in the union, France has become increasingly active military since Operation Serval in Mali. A capable aerospace and maritime industry serves as a foundation for a prominent military-industrial complex.


Currency - Euro
Currency and value of currency compared to USD - 1 Euro = 1.25 USD
Major import/export partners -
Exporters: Germany, Belgium, Italy, Spain, UK, USA, Netherlands
Importers: Germany, Belgium, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, UK, China

Major Domestic Issues -
Integrating immigrants, preventing home-grown extremism, continuing to make the economy more competitive
Major Foreign Issues -
Strengthening the EU and the Eurozone and determining what place the EU will have in the world, standing firm against renewed Russian aggression and American withdrawal, extremism and the growth of terrorism in fancrophonie countries.


History [MUST LINE UP WITH HISTORY IN "STATUS" SECTION, NOT SET IN STONE AND MUST BE APPROVED BY OPs, WRITE IT LIKE IT'S GOING IN THE "STATUS" SECTION -
France can trace its history as far back as the year 486, when the Franks first conquered the region of Gaul from the collapsing Roman Empire. Over the course of millennia, the power of France has ebbed and flowed, with the nation being ruled by Kings, Emperors and Presidents. However, modern France only truly came into being after the entire nation was nearly consumed by the fires of the Second World War. From this tragedy, France emerged stronger and as a powerful proponent for an integrated and united Europe, eventually coming to bury the hatchet with its long-time German rival. While French influence waned during the American Century, the country still wielded significant economic and cultural clout – with its prized position as the most visited nation on Earth a clear indicator of its prominence in the international psyche. However, as the United States’ hegemony began to decline, France found itself becoming more and more involved in international affairs beyond the borders of Europe, beginning in 2012 with its involvement in the conflict in Mali.

Operation Serval, a UN-backed French and European mission to support the local Malinese forces against resurgent extremists, proved itself to be highly effective and earned France the support of the majority of the local population (91% according to an Al Jazeera poll). However, it was not until the Virumaa Crisis in 2022 that France would once again find itself forced to stand firm on its own two feet. As the US withdrew from its commitments to NATO, Europe was left to defend the independence of its allies alone. Images of the French President, Emmanuel Macron, standing before an EU and French flag declaring a common cause stirred a sense of pride within the populace. News broadcasts of joint European deployments, with Frenchsoldiers marching in lock-step with their European brethren, brought a new wave of European nationalism to the country. When Russia withdrew, seemingly cowed by the collective effort of the Union and its European allies, celebration and optimism reigned supreme – the typical French cynicism banished in favour of a common determination to build a better future.

To be fair I copied most of this from the last application while updating the President and current party in charge. Much easier than starting off fresh, to be quite honest.

How do you guys budget individual items that are featured in your posts? Wing it or reference it off something similar to what the item is?

For example, if I’m gonna increase the budget of the Federal Police anti drug division and want it to reach proportionality with like the DEA, I take the population of the US and divide it by the DEA staff size. The number I get is one agent per something population(1 per 100,000?). Then I take that number and divide mexico’s Population by it and get how many anti drug agents Mexico should have to be proportional with the DEA. Then I divide the DEA budget by its staff and whatever number I get, I multiply times the number of Mexican anti-drug agents.

Well there are many open nations that could be interesting, like Spain Sweden, Romania could be good. I believe Britain is open too, Saudi Arabia, Iran, I think Pakistan and India is still open. I don't know about Italy, but yeah. there is a lot of open nations.
