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.

United Kingdom
France seems to have a strong relation with England 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 England. 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 Belgiumn, not the only). But despite this they still like each others.

The United-States
France helped The United-States to win the war of Independance 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.
