-The French Kingdom is known for its strict immigration policy, and nationalist leanings, however it is also considered to be one of the more socialist nations in the western world. France is very militaristic, being very active in peace keeping missions throughout the world, its military equipment and technology is the finest and the world, but in many cases has unfortunatley fallen in the wrong hands of dictators, using it to oppress their people.
-Unlike many western democracies, France boasts many major parties, the largest and most influential being the Social Democrat Party, its two chief rivals being the conservative United Christian Front, and the radical Revolutionary Communist Party. The Green Party, Nationalist Movement, and the Workers Democracy have much influence in the government. King Henri VI is the current monarch of France, while the nations Prime Minister is Lionel Jospin.
-France maintains foreign alliances with Rhineland, Spain, Israel and Ethiopia. Like the United Kingdom, France is often accused of meddeling in the Third World. While France and Britain often cooperate in their policies concerning the Third World, the two have often had serious strains placed on their relations, over the course of the past half century, fortunatley it has never come seriously close to open conflict between the two great powers.
