Republic of France (pre-rev) | Kingdom of France (post-rev)


 * Government: A huge shift occurs to the right. The Republic is overthrown and the age of the monarch begins once again.


 * Politics: A massive movement occurs. The people of France, seeing the circumstances of the world, want a powerful leader that doesn't need to deal with politicians spinning things in ways that help them. A young man by the name of Remi Trouvé becomes the leader of the movement, and after only one month, the government is pushed out of the nation by riots and activists, fleeing into exile in Belgium.


 * Laws:


 * Drugs: Minor drugs, such as mushrooms, marijuana, LSD, and Ecstasy are all legalized for medical and personal use, and are available to purchase in most stores in France.


 * Abortion: Abortion is made strictly illegal, and will only be legal in court-proven cases of rape. If you do not want your child or do not have the ability to care for the child, you will put it up for adoption. To compensate for this, adoption agencies are greatly improved for the children that are living there, and any adoption agencies not taking proper care of the children situated in the homes will have their owners arrested and sentenced to five years in medium security prison.


 * Research & Development:


 * Military: A new body armour is researched, classified as "the most advanced body armour in the world", it can have up to 16 bullets shot at it before penetration, and weighs only eight and a half pounds.


 * Analytics:
 * Economy: The second reason as to why Remi gained so much support to become the leader of the Second Revolution is because of his economic policies, which most people agree would greatly improve the French economy. The first policy is to increase interest rates through the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve's rate is the rate at which banks borrow money from the government, but, in order to make money, they must lend it at higher rates. So, when the Federal Reserve increases its interest rate, banks have no choice but to increase their rates as well. When banks increase their rates, less people want to borrow money because it costs more to do so if that money accrues interest. So, spending drops, prices drop and inflation slows. The second method is to increase reserve requirements on the amount of money banks are legally required to keep on hand to cover withdraws. The more money banks are required to hold back, the less they have to lend to consumers. If they have less to lend, consumers will borrow less, which will decrease spending. The third method is to directly or indirectly reduce the money supply by enacting policies that encourage reduction of the money supply. Two examples of this include calling in debts that are owed to the government and increasing the interest paid on bonds so that more investors will buy them. The latter policy raises the exchange rate of the currency due to higher demand and, in turn, increases imports and decreases exports. Both of these policies will reduce the amount of money in circulation because the money will be going from banks, companies and investors pockets and into the government’s pocket where they can control what happens to it.
 * Infrastructure/Public Services: Hey, it's pretty good.


 * Demographics: French or something like that.


 * Development/Standards of Living: Also pretty good.


 * Population:
 * Male Population: The male population of France is 32,265,840 people.
 * Female Population: The female population of France is 36,974,160 people.
 * Total Population: The total population of France is 69,240,000 people.


 * Military: The military is under absolute control of Remi. He promotes a council of generals, whose names are: Marc De la Croix, Jérémie Caillat, Émeric Corriveau, Matthieu Chéron, and Abraham D'Amboise. These 5 generals are the backbone of the military and are the best generals the state has ever seen. A draft is also put into place. 30% of all men are to be in the military when the program concludes. This will cause women to become the majority of workers in the country.


 * Wars and Conflicts:


 * Algerian-French Plane Crisis (French Civilian Plane Shot Down): May, 2026: Air France flight #471 flying from PAR to PRY is shot down over the Algerian town of Ain Salah, causing tensions to escalate between the French nation and the Algerians. This prompts the French to plan a secret invasion of Algeria, with four of the five generals in the council supporting the idea. Of course, Algeria is unaware of the plans.
