France:   
 * Land, Air and Sea forces: A fter observing a buildup of British, German, Spanish and Italian forces at our borders and coast, we have called all 195,000 reserve troops into active duty. The new French president Georges Frietla has sent 150,000 troops to patrol the Italian border and construct forts along the border, which we believe will increase defence by 5% if an invasion of 120,000 troops was to occur in the next two years. 50,000 troops have been deployed to the Northern and Western coasts in order to prepare for any attempted naval invasion. 100,000 troops have been sent to the Spanish border, with an additional 300,000 fit-for-service citizens being drafted into military training facilities (these troops will be deployed in 3 years). The remaining 100,000 front-line personal have been deployed to guard the German border. The French air forces have been placed on the highest battle ready alert. All 659 helicopters have been sent to defend the Italian border, where the mountains would be difficult to manouver around with our jets. 125 of our fighter/interceptor aircraft have been relocated to Calais, where they can be deployed across the entire channel. Our Transport aircraft have been distributed across all borders to ensure that we can re-deploy troops to other fronts should war break out. All fixed-wing attack aircraft have been sent to the border with Spain and Germany. The remaining aircraft have been placed across the coasts and on our 4 aircraft carriers. Four of our frigates have been sent to the Northern coast, along with all 11 destroyers and coastal defence craft. All other naval vehicles have been equally distributed between the North sea, the west coast and the Southern coast.
 * Politics: Georges Frietea was installed as leader of the new Socialist Worker's Progressive Party of France, who were elected today in a historic election which followed the death of Francois Hollande in an attempted military coup. Frietea has enacted many policies which by many are considered anything but socialist, such as raising the military budget by $6 billion and cutting $6 billion from Health and Education. He has also ordered the construction of a $617 million "Presidential residency" which is scheduled for completion in 2021. He also put a 'democratic' referendum to the people, in which a high voter turnout of 99% was recorded and essentially gave absolute power over the country and it's people to the president, and also removed further elections. Critisicm has been all but purged following the governments "purchase" of all media outlets in the nation for a reported $12 million. The new president also closed many major motorways and reserved them for military use only in this "national diplomatic crisis".
 * Diplomacy: The new president has called for an immediate conference with the Golden Commonwealth following a large military build up spotted by "passenger aircraft" flying over Italian and Spanish territory and the navy positioned in the English channel. The president also called for a renewed alliance with Russia, one which has not been in place since the Great War.
 * Economy: $6Bn has been cut from health and education and moved to defence spending following "reforms" pressed by the new government. $12Bn has been redirected from funding going to libraries and universities to the military infrastructure of France.
