A nation in western Europe slightly below the UK in all or most senses,La France (from the Latin term for “the France”) is the world’s largest known Algerian colonial outpost, known for its Freedom fries, Freedom toast, and Freedom snails. Formerly known as “Freedomland”, it was changed to France by act of Parliament. By this time, however, Freedom Food was well known across the world, so the names stuck.
France was found tied to a large outcrop of Alpine mountains at the end of the English Channel. Founded by the vertically-challenged psychopath Napoléon Bonaparte, France nevertheless grew into the tall and muscular nation it is today. The French are renowned for fermenting excellent cheese, wall making, brewing fine wines, hurling sarcastic retorts at the British, and their use of walls. The primary industry of France is “fine” wine production, coupled with the energy industry, powered by burning automobiles that have been left unattended for over 30 seconds. France also has a thriving industry producing French bread for people all over the world.
France has also been known throughout history for being blamed any time another country screwed over and didn’t bother presenting apologies (see 2003).
(Note: The French may be getting tired of their practice of wall making, now that they’ve gotten Nicolas Sarkozy to redesign their flag. Thus, they now wave the flag of Pacman… or so they claim.)
