“”BAGUETTE *boink*

— Crazy France loves hitting the another countryball for fun

France, or the French Fifth Republic, is a democracy and republic located in Western Europe. She is usually cultured, but will become very barbaric at certain times. She is usually seen wearing a beret and drinking a cup of wine. She also really likes to eat 🥖 baguette, so much that she has vending machines for them. France is also likings to eat frogs and snails. She is infamous and having worst reputation for her snobbery.

France often dreams about getting her Napoleonic Empire back, and is mocked for being a " surrender monkey". Today, she is known to be a member of the Inner Six and also being the mother of EU and the spouse of Germany.

She is known for making the best pastries, including croissant, madeleine, macaron, and baguette. Her capital, Paris, famous for the Eiffel Tower, attracts many tourists from around the world. France is considered a classic in Europe.

She is an emotional, friendly and angry countryball.

Histoire (History)

After WWII, France was restored. But now France is at war with Algeria, which was her colony. Due to instability, France shifted from the Fourth Republic to the Fifth Republic in 1958. But in the end, France still lost the war (which was very embarrassing for her) and Algeria was granted independence, marking the beginning of the end of France's major colonial empire.

Between 1950 and 1975, France experienced a major economic boom. Salaries and the standard of living, which have been mostly destroyed in WWII, became one of the world's highest. France continues to focus on economic growth and maintaining good relations with her neighbors.

After the 1950s, the traditional foundations of French society changed: the number of peasant farmers plummeted, old industries decayed, jobs in the service sector and high-technology industries grew dramatically, and the French came to enjoy the benefits of mass culture and widespread consumerism.

On 23 November 1965, France launched her first satellite, Astérix, into space. Astérix continues to orbit Earth as of 2023 and is expected to remain in orbit for centuries.

In May 1968, nine million workers started to protest and riot, many occupying their factories and workplaces. These protests were led and infiltrated by left-wing organizations that want a complete overhaul of French traditions.

France co-founded the European Union in 1993.

In 2015, France's capital got attacked by violent Jihadists. This attack was coordinated and aimed to cause as much as destruction as possible. This attack was very brutal, and people grieved with France all over the world, including Obama and Putin.

On 15 April 2019, a catastrophic fire engulfed the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, the capital of France.

In 2023, French citizens went on strike after the government proposed increasing the retirement age from 62 to 64. Starting in 16 January 2024, a bunch of agricultural and farmer groups unionized to protest and block roads. This event is still ongoing as of July 2024. Also in 2024 France hosted the Olympic Games, where somehow a group of people on the spectrum decided to mock Jesus, putting a double standard.

In 2024, France's government is collapsed, the parliament is deadlocked, had 4 prime ministers in one year, and have a budgetary crisis. This put the current Fifth Republic's government system of a strain, and France might need to transition into a Sixth Republic soon.

Architecture Rurale (Rural Architecture)

French farmhouses are entirely products of the soil, built of stone, clay or wood, depending on what materials are found locally. As the topography changes so does the architecture, from the steeply-sloped roofs covered in flat tiles in the north to the broad canal-tiled roofs of the south. Despite this rich regional diversity, French farmhouses fall into three basic categories: the maison bloc, where house and outbuildings share the same roof; the high house, with living quarters upstairs and livestock or wine cellar below; and courtyard farm-steads, their buildings set around a central court.

Anecdote (Trivia)

• Even though France almost conquered the entirety of Europe in the Napoleonic era, everyone forgets about it and continues to mock France for surrendering in WW2.
• French toast is actually not invented in France, but in Rome as a recipe called "pan dulcis" in a 4th-century cookbook. The name "French toast" was applied to the dish later in America, partly due to the dish's popularity among French immigrants there. The dish is known as "pain perdu"" or "lost bread" in French, referencing its use to revive stale bread and avoid waste.
