Republique of France

The Republic of France is a nation scarred and debilitated by its experiences over the past seventy years. It has seen war and revolution, monarchy and republic. It has held an empire and has been fought over as a prize. At the height of its power under the legendary Napoleon Bonaparte, it sought to challenge the great Prussian Empire for dominance of Europe, and at its nadir it found itself unable to even defend its own borders, and suffered the ignominy of having some of its richest provinces laid waste during battles between the foreign powers that sought to govern its very destiny.

But the spirit of France has never been broken, and the legacy of its Revolution lives on. From the highest to the lowest in French society, a fierce patriotic pride burns bright in the heart of every citizen, and it is this that has carried the Republic through every tribulation it has endured since the fall of Napoleon.
