France is a country in the West of Europe and a member of the European Union. It is the neighbour of Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and Belgium. It have an access to the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea and to the Channel.

France is not the most popular character compared to Russia or The United States but still have a place in fan's hearts.

Appearance
France is often wearing the French clichés clothes as the striped jersey, red scarf and beret (you'll never see a French wearing these three things at the same time). France is represented as a man but also as a woman.

Personality
France is often shows as a very sensible and romantic person, but sometimes as cruel (when it is about colonization and the Empire). Also rebel more because of the recent protest march of the "gilet jaune" than the French Revolution.

He's tired that everyone associate him to the white flag while because of the World War two while he won a lot of others battles. He's often sad but hide it and rarely satisfied of what he gots (he loves to complain). But he's also very proud of himself.

Interests
France is into football, tennis, petanque and bycicling (Tour de France). France loves cooking and food, especially baguette (bread in general), cheese and wine chich he's really proud of. But he is tired of everyone giving him the invention of French fries (Belgian) and croissant (Austrich). France often take a break and go on strike when something displease him.

Flag meaning
The blue and the red are the colours of Paris, the white the colour of nobility. They surround the white to show the power of the people on the aristocratie. This flag was adopted in 1794 and inspired by the three coloured cockade.It is also called "Le drapeau tricolore", litteraly traduced by "The three-coloured flag".

United Kingdom
France seems to have a strong relation with the United Kingdom because of the old rivalry and the alliance during the first and the second World Wars, which is sometimes romantic.

Germany
People also like to ship France and Germany, which create a rivalry between Germany and the United Kingdom. It becomes unhealthy when it is about Nazi Germany because of the occupation, but with the creation of the European Union they became closet than ever.

Japan
France is fascinated by Japan thanks to the manga and anime which were massively imported in the 80's and 90's and still very popular. This fascination is on both side, Japan keeps a very romantic and sophisticated image of France.

Belgium
France and Belgium love making fun of each others, there is a debate between them about how to say 70,80 and 90 (French is one the official language of Belgium, not the only). But despite this they still like each others.

United States of America
France helped The United-States to win the war of Independence and gave him Lady Liberty to celebrate their victory. The United-States were a precious help during the first and second World Wars, with the Allies he free France from the German occupation. So the two countries have good relations.

Canada
Canada is France's son, and she loves him very dearly. The two of them have a lot of mother-son outings, all the while speaking French of course. France is somewhat over-protective of Canada, since she deeply regrets how she abandoned him, even if it was a long time ago (France gave up Nouvelle-France (aka Canada) to England, little by little).
