Okay, so in this WI, I was wondering what would happen if in the event of a CP victory France fell into civil war (call it the 2nd Revolution or something). Say a communist uprising ends up battling a right-wing nationalist militancy and the republican government flees - logically they would go to Algeria, but I don't believe they can sustain a 'Republic of France' in Algiers. I also don't believe it would transition into a 'Republic of Algeria' or a 'French Republic of Algeria' as others might.

So my question is, is there any part of the French colonial empire that is loyal/French enough to be the new building blocks of the Republic of France? My first thought was French Guiana (the Guianas get no love in any timelines), but it occurred to me that I don't know anything about the demographics of Guiana or how 'French' it was. I also thought about New Caledonia as a potential candidate.

Any ideas?
