Reposting to make up for the altered NPC events.

Mélanie Lucroy responds to the statements made by Stepan Taraneko.

We support neither the Russians nor the Ukrainians at this point in time, the will of the people is the cause of this matter. We will not surrender ourselves like we did embarassingly in World War Two again. We are announcing a General Rearmament of our nation to prepare ourselves in case of a war we are forced to pick sides with. As far as France and the French people is concerned, the East is not of our concern as of now. Thank you.

French Foreign Minister in a debate with the German chancellor, in question of the Maginot Line:

This is an action we must take for the defence of the people. The Maginot Line will start as a small line of fortification. When more tension builds up we will increase the Maginot Line. We are hoping that we are both still allies and we do not favor any war between both of our nations. French neutrality can be questioned, but ultimately it is a decision we must take. We might be overreacting, but then again, we must dare it.

Parliament in debate of French Neutrality:

The party of Front National is strongly pro-neutrality but is in favor of Russia. Due to overwhelming odds however, they will not support joining a war with Russia yet, they will only supply them and send secret paramilitary armies.

Parti Radical however is staunchly also pro-neutrality and would not support any side as of now, as they believe the will of the people demands it. Parti Radical also supports heavy rearmament and such.

As the Chinese Civil War has started, our economy has started to falter a little. This would force a industrialization of Southern France to make up for it, despite protests.

French parliament debate on the collapse of the Greek government:

"At this turn of events, French people are more conscious of the French economy and will soon start a revolution if not treated well. Like Greece, the rest of Europe will follow if we don't make the right measures. We will start doing what is right for not only us but the French nation itself as well. We will encourage welfare capitalism to get rid of and prevent worst forms of poverty in our nation, increasing our workforce." The majority of the parliament accepted this request, although some were skeptical of this.

French Republic
 * Backstory: After Marine le Pen got elected, France got nationalized and thought independent by will is a greater option than being led by other superior nations. That tradition has been going on through the newly elected Parti Radical. Parti Radical is no longer the socialist and democratic path it once was before. It is now a national patriotic party with some far-right views with staunch neutrality.
 * Summary: In case of a war, we will side with NATO as it is confirmed by the Parliament of France. This might change however.
 * Military:
 * Technology: Project de Bonaparte is responsible for renovated Infantry equipment, vastly renovating the main Infantry and making it look more modern to this time period, and would be a time for new tactics to appear. Exoskeleton armor is also being researched.
 * Project de Bonaparte: This project is now only exclusive to France.
 * Quantum Technology: We are currently funding Quantum Technology, especially for Quantum computers.
 * Advanced Artillery Program: This is also being funded. The main purpose of the Advanced Artillery Program is to renovate the Artillery pieces we have and make them more feared by the enemy. The FRCdB-32 is built in with 1 artillery gun on top of the vehicle faced forwards up.
 * Conflicts: We are not in any conflicts yet.
 * Preparing for War: The Maginot Line is under way, the Savoyard Line is cancelled and instead we will focus on rebranding our Navy.
 * Science and Technology
 * Space Program
 * General: The CNES, the national Space Program of France is conducting serious space exploration and is trying to land on the moon and prepare the funding for a landing to Mars, which would happen not very soon.
 * Mars:
 * Aries Campagne: The Aries campaign is the main operation for a landing on Mars, it is currently being funded and there is no rocket yet to support this operation.
 * Moon:
 * de Gaulle Campagne: The de Gaulle campaign is responsible for the landing on the Moon, which also will not happen any time soon without proper funding as this is low priority.
 * The LASER Research: This is exclusive to only France, and we are trying to research the new FRCdB-32 (Français Char de Bataille). This will be finished until 2035.
 * Infrastructure:
 * Cities: We are renovating the city of Paris, Marseille, Lyons, Bordeaux, Brest and Strasbourg to make them feel more modern in style and look more Gothic at the same time, which would make our nation feel traditional and encourage some tourism at the same time. This work is not done yet and mostly Paris has been done so far.
 * Urbanization: We are urbanizing small villages of France, also inheriting the modern and Gothic style architecture.
 * Construction of Hyperloops: Construction of Hyperloops has started throughout the urban parts of France. The French "Autoroute" as it is nicknamed by infrastructure researchers, named after the German Autobahn. We are hoping that this project covers all of France, but that is impossible with the current economic situation.
 * Agriculture: Yields continue to grow, we are currently encouraging agriculture throughout southern France effectively rising our workforce in that region.
 * Government
 * Border controls: France is not willing to accept refugees of any nationality, and will only accept refuge to its own people. We are dispatching journalists in Ukraine to figure out what is going on there, so that we can know who to really support.
 * Political Parties: The Parti Radical is currently leading our nation, although Front National is barely tipping over the vote.
 * President: Mélanie Lucroy is our president.
 * Diplomacy: As a current member of the European Union, we would support anyone in the Union and expand our influence throught the world, and conduct good diplomatic relations with at least every nation in the world, except a few exceptions.
 * Greece: We will cease any support given to you and we will announce your state as illegitimate.
 * NATO: We are going to be staunchly neutral unless upmost neccessary.
 * Brazil: Good thinking, a way out of trouble indeed. We would like you to propose a trading company of our own, by the name of Juste de L'Atlantique. Waiting for response.
 * Turkey: We are going to protest against you if you take advantage of the Greek situation.
 * Ukraine: Do not try and release your own propaganda against us just because we are not supporting no one. As time goes by, we will decide. For now we are neutral by the will of the people.
 * United States: We are currently striving for neutrality, please respect this decision as the people is against war as many Frenchmen would only die for stability in the East, and not gaining anything but that.
 * United Kingdom: It is best not to intervene in this turn of events, just saying. Join our neutrality as well if you so wish.
 * Canada: We increase our relations due to your ruling party and government.
 * Education: Education is still top-notch and in mainland France, at least all of the people are able to read and write by hand. Overall literacy is around 100%, and is it expected that all children at the age of 3 would start going into education.
 * Demographics:
 * Population: The French population has risen throughout the years, with 69,2 million Frenchmen living in France.
 * Religion: The current demographics are 90% Roman Catholic (mostly in mainland), 2% Jewish, 3.6% Sunni and 4.4% unaffiliated.
 * The Catholic Church Communion of France: The Church denounces Islam and condemns people who use it as their religion.
 * Economy: The economy of France has been lowered due to recent events.
 * Fall 2033 Stock Crash: France has also been affected by this stock failure. French people nickname this crash as the "New Great Depression". Worker strikes have no arised yet so far, but the near future will decide France's fate. French people now conscious of this matter will start questioning of the legitimacy of the Parti Radical, and a small rise of the Front National party, a revanchist party not willing to be a tyrant to a larger power.
