However, they broke up later on and UK married France's sister, Spain, who is the mother of the United States of America.

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. Germany is France's husband and they care a lot for each other - they were close enough to have a child, European Union who is charged to keep peace and cohesion in Europe.

England
Do not confuse the United Kingdom with England. England and France has always hates each others don't miss an occasion to make fun of each others. France nicknames England "Rosbeef" refered by the colour of his army and the joke that there is no sun in England so when English people try to tan they get a sunburn instead. While England calls France "Froggies" refered to the fact he likes to eat frog's legs. But even with these difficulties and their past ( the Hundred Year War's) they still like each other.

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. France is also his aunt and godmother, which explains their close relationship.

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, but the language developped in different ways for them which sometimes brought confusion and misunderstanding, but they also found each others accent very funny. 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).
