Bienvenue en France!

Voici l'histoire francaise du nouveau RP du vingt-unieme siecle.

L'etat de la France commencait du huitieme siecle, avec la fondation de l'empire de Charlemagne. Le Pape le couronna empereur le 25 decembre 800 ans; apres la traite de Verdun en 843, les trois fils de Charlemagne ont divise l'empire entre leur-meme: Charles le chauve a recu l'empire occidentale qui compose l'etat francais actuel. Apres la division, les rois francais n'ont pas pris la couronne d'empereur romain, ce qui a commence la grandes guerres de France et d'Autriche. Sous le regne de Louis XIV, l'etat francais est devenu centralise, comme la phrase "L'Etat, c'est moi!" En 1789, les Parisiennes ont attaque la Bastille et ils ont librere tous les criminels dans laquelle. Cette action a commence la Revolution Francaise dont on a cree la Republique Francaise avec les ideals: liberte, egalite, et fraternite. En 1804, Napoleon se couronna a Paris, creant l'Empire Francaiss Napoleonienne, qui vit a 1815. Apres la guerre de France-Prussie, la Troisieme Republique a commence. Dans les deux guerres mondiales, France a souffert des pertes catastrophiques, ce qui a fait le disintegration de l'empire francaise. Dans l'annee 1958, Charles de Gaulle a commence la Cinquieme Republique Francaise. Actuellement, la France se compose des territoires sous-mer et la metropole. La France est un grand etat, qui sert dans la Counseille de Securite comme une partie permanent, et est une partie de OTNA et UE.

Jacques Chirac = 1995-2007

To all see this thread, I invite you to review this thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=468489&page=16)...we need nations to join...

Basically, this is a thread that RPs the 20th century as if the Seven Years' War never happened [i.e. no American Revolution, no French Revolution, no Napoleon, no weird 19th century, strangely persistent map for the 20th century from the 18th century]. We definitely need the Ottoman Empire, Portugal, and the Netherlands [or United Provinces] to join. Please talk to Nebarri Prime to join this thread with an appropriate country from the list that are available. I make the map, so I hope that I can put your country to good use :)]

=== PRESS RELEASE ===

PM Villepin speaks in front of the press, on the revelations in the world [conveniently translated your common language].

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. These past weeks have been rather startling in their appearance, especially concerning the affairs of France and the world. We have seen the rise of an aggressive America, and with the solidarity of the world, their invasion of Cuba has been terminated. We expect the American government to do their part and withdraw their troops, to allow UN peacekeepers to monitor Cuban elections, as they recently performed in Haiti.

We are more concerned with the developments proceeding from Greece and Russia. We express our solidarity with the two governments, hopinig that some compromise can be achieved among the two. I can assure you that France has been doing her part to ensure that conflict does not arise from this issue.

That said, we are faced with the self-declared autonomy of a Kurdish state, which is a great relief to the people in the new state. We send our hands of encouragement to the new state as they begin the process of state-building, much as the current Iraqi government still has to deal with. We send out warnings to the governments in Turkey, Syria, and Iran, to forgo forceful integration of Kurdistan with Iraq; rather we encourage their cooperation with the new state. Moreover, a war with Kurdistan will not go easily for the Turkish government, if they wish to join the EU. Syria and Iran are both known as uncooperative states, especially the latter. We urge both nations to pursue peace and avoid entangling into any kind of deep mess with Kurdistan.

As of the present moment, our protestors in the streets of Paris are peaceful protesting the American presence in Cuba, and while we do not fully condone the actions of the USA in maintaining their troops - numbering around 1000 - outside of their bases in Cuba, as this would normally constitute a breach of sovereignty, we encourage our people to recognize that the USA is a separate entity and France has no direct interest in micromanaging their affairs. Peaceful protest is granted, but with the memories of November 2005, we are not hestitating to institute martial order to maintain peace for the greater good of the French people.

We encourage the world to open to each other in open, friendly arms, expressing our faith that solidarity in the international community can achieve many great things for the world.

We bid you a good night, ladies and gentlemen, and we thank you for coming out to attend this meeting."

To France,

Argentina would like to order 12 LaFayette class frigates from French shipyards. We offer a bid of 1.6 billion dollars.

The Federal Republic of Nigeria would be happy to except French assistance in modernizing our country. We are also indeed greatful for your offer to subsidize our agriculture industry. We feel that your offer of help will help us greatly. Curently the next step we plan is start construction on a efficent paved highway system. However we do not have the construction equitment to undertake the building of highways from scratch like we will be, any assitance you could offer in gaining peices of this equitment would be greatly apprectiated.

It is almost likely that these aggressive acts may transpire into a South American war [ooc: which Russia might seize upon as an opportunity]. Our garrison in French Guyana will attempt to moderate the action, although we are painfully away from that part of the world that we feel that we would not make much an impact on the actual schematics of the war there.

[There is also a UNSC resolution on the floor to condemn and authorize economic sanctions on the two powers...if you are on the UNSC, please support this]


As it stands currently, the Argentine military is woefully short of the capabilities to enforce a ceasefire. Which is why we have gone to the French government about the purchase of war machines. We are hoping that you accept our bid for the ships, due to the fact that there is war breaking loose in South America, and in order to put an end to it, we greatly require such ships.

=== OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM PRESIDENT JACQUES CHIRAC ===

President Jacques Chirac, in a statement in Tirana [on his Balkans goodwill tour, to end in Belgrade soon], addressed the world about the general situation in Greece and Russia.

"Messieurs et Mesdames...The times are approaching when the choices of a nation can decide the fate of the world. We are watching two faces - of Greece and of Russia - stare at a little mess in the kitchen of the world, and while this mess seems small and insignificant, the one and the other have stared at each other into a constant state of tension. World diplomacy cannot exist like this; it is bad blood for the people! Tensions in the world shall inevitably lead to two courses of action: of conflict or of resolution, and in our history, we have seen our fair share of conflict. In these coming days, the Russian Federation and the Hellenic Republic of Greece can decide whether they shall want to end this tension in resolution or in conflict - and I hope that they will certainly choose the former. In that case, I invite the leaders of the Greek and Russian states to meet with me during my stay in Yugoslavia, where we can all communally resolve this matter, and at the same time, offer encouragement to a new and old growing state.

"But right now, in talking to you from the capital of Albania - one of the many sources of contention between the two states - I wish to reveal to you that the Albanian government is willing to cooperate with the Greek government, especially in the conspiracy of some renegade Albanians working with Turkish insurgency groups to overthrow and assimilate the Greek government. As of yet, there is little substantial evidence for this on both sides, but I am certain that with their cooperation, they can come to a consensus on the causes of their problems. Furthermore, we should expect improved dialogue between the two countries, leading to improved relations or at least a better cultural understanding of the other.

"In addition, we make a warm welcome to all French states in the world - either directly influenced by French culture or nations with French as a primary language - to join La Communaute de la Francophonie. Among our many modernization, integration, and good-will good-faith missions to improve the economic condition of third-world countries, we hope that the Communaute will improvev French relations with all of these nations, leading to a better understanding of each other's cultural background, as well as a more uniform and representative voice of the French speaking world. Even so, our modernization initiatives in Nigeria, Quebec, and Yugoslavia are among the many attempts by the French state to improve the economic condition of those states, in equalizing the economic standards of the world. With our infrastructure and economic enhancement initiatives in Nigeria, we hope to add another African nation to the ranks of a leading world power, and encourage other African nations, to show that it is possible to be an African nation, proud, and economically strong and powerful. In the newly established states of Quebec and Yugoslavia, France wants to help both nations to rebound, to form a stable economic base with stable political entities to help perpetuate the actions of the state. In all of these things, we see a world that is becoming modern, civilized, and most importantly, cooperative.

"We cannot forget the events on the South American continent, where two regional powers - Brazil and Venezuela - currently wage a little war over the aggressive behaviors of both nations. While the nation of Brazil is right to react in self-defense, we feel that they have not adequately explored all of their diplomatic options, and thus we have submitted to the United Nations Security Council a resolution that hopefully will lead to somme action to stop these grave errors -above all, violations of international convention and law. At the same time, we are faced with the Darfur crisis, where Muslim militants are again wrecking havoc on the citizens of Sudan. While France was not sufficiently convinced that Sudan was committing acts of genocide, we are firmly convinced now that the government has done little to perserve the human rights of its citizens - basic rights of all humans, regardless of faith or color - in the Darfur region, as tensions now mount to conflict. WE have also proposed a resolution that will send peacekeepers to Sudan to enforce UN law, international law, and defend the rights of the people in the region. We are glad to say that most of the world supports us in our calls, and we thank you for your solidarity - in recognizing with us the necessity to act on this matter. Hopefully, once this resolution passes, we can add another benchmark to the defense of human rights in the world.

"It is a warm day here, and I would not wish to detain you any further. Besides, I have heard that Albanian sun is very good for the soul. I bid you a good day and may we meet again in peace."

[This Statement comes from President Jacques Chirac on his good-will trip to the Balkans, while in Tirana. His next visit will be in Belgrad, to visit the new Yugoslavian state.]

In which case, we will gladly provide the ships, at a reasonable price for them all.

[ooc: i know alot about militaries, but nothing about their economics...]

We stated originally, our bid was 1.6 billion dollars.

OOC: France wouldn't profit much on that price. Just a couple million dollars per ship. But it's still a profit, Argentina doesn't have a lot of cash to just throw around.

PM Villepin has announced in a private briefing with news reporters that France has officially dropped the support for the admission of the G4 into permanent seats in the UNSC. Due to the aggressive and uncalled acts by the state of Brazil, we are convinced that Brazil would not suit the role as a member of the UNSC. In place of Brazil, we would support the admission of their southern neighbor - Argentina - in their place if the G4 and Argentina agree to the proposal. In addition, France endorses the addition in the UNSC of another African nation, although the African Union has yet to agree on a nomination. We further extend our belief that the UNSC needs a larger committee to reflect the power shifts in tthe 21st Century [we suggest 25 UNSC seats, 10 seats being permenant]

The Republic of France has initiated a research group to determine the feasibility of inductive powering. The research is to occur over 50 years [i.e. 50 weeks RL...scheisse that's a long time RL...], with the international backing of any nation willing to give assistance to the research. In time, it may be appropriate to link our inductive research to the fusion research around the world.

At current, the following nations support the Inductive Research Initiative [L'Institut de la Recherche Inductive], based in Grenoble:

France
UK
Israel [contributing 8 scientists]

[ooc: seeing as I've been a bad boy with my French poltiics, I'll assume that Dominique de Villepin ran for president and won the election :p!!!

ALL HAIL PRESIDENT VILLEPIN!!!

France has just sent a review team of 40 investigators to New Caledonia, to determine the cause of a recent explosion of an Australian cruise liner of the coast. We lament the loss of life and we sincerely hope that nothing serious will result from this tragedy.

Communiqué to Paris
As a European neighbor, and one of the leaders of political resistance against Australian imperialism, we ask France to begin the developement of some strategy, alongside Spain, for the preperation of a joint naval task force to block Australian access to their African colonies. We urge France that it is time to act, and peace will not solve the ambition of what seems a fool and a kid in the seat of the Australian administration. Unfortunately, Australia has been mirrored by Italy, but the Italian problem can be solved another day. Spain believes that the greater of two evils currently is Australia, especially since Italy still has some sort of cooperation with European countries, while Australia has risked cutting all diplomacy with all nations. Military intervention, in the end, will be the only way to humiliate Australia enough that it will not try again.

OOC: Proproganda? If that's not it you can't use it because that isn't a true statement. Espically while Aramaki is in Israel for the summit for peace. If you two are planning something against Australia we will be able to see you coming a long long way in advance. We aren't selling our technology outside of our allies and we have ties stretching across the entire Indian Ocean. IF such action is even taken by either nation, Australia is not responsible for losses that will be incurred as a result of such actions.

[ooc: what's the propoganda?]

France officially bars any form of trade with Australia, seeing as they refuse to acknowledge our warnings and demands to cease hostilies with the people of Somalia. France furthermore warns Australia that if they do not remove their troops within a reasonable amount of time from Somalia, we will proceed to use military action to liberate the Somalian state.


SIC to L'Armee:

Mobilize elements of the Pacific Fleet in Noumea for possible attacks by the Australian navy.

Mobilize elements of the Mediterranean fleet for the defense of the Egyptian state from a forced attack by Australia.

Mobilize the Indian Ocean Flotilla for possible attacks by the Australian navy, and prepare a defense of French territories therein.

To peacekeeping forces in Sudan, prepare for re-deployment to Somalia and its neighboring states, in the event that Australia attacks those states. An additional 1000 men will be joining the forces, along with 500 men from Tchad and the Central African Republic.

[OOC: Engagements have begun in the Red Sea. The faster you can reinforce the Spanish/Italian fleet, the better.]

[Egypt has approved of this, I presume?]

[OOC: Argh: read this: http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10567792&postcount=58]

I was wrong about the nationalization...in 1978, Egypt privatized the Canal, creating the RAFIMAR...http://www.rafimar.com/profile.html...so it's a private company, meaning that you guys can move your ships if you've got the money to do it :p

As 2012 nears, France prepares for its third election in the new century under the new 5-year term plan. Current President Dominique de Villepin [RR] has announced his candidacy for a second term, siting the need to continue strong policies abroad. He said in a speech two days ago that France "is travelling a perilous line between global conflict and global peace" and that his experience will "prove to keep the balance of peace."

Opposition candidates range from the candid Jean-Marie Le Pen [FN] - who claims that France hasn't been active enough and that France should have gone to war with Somalia instead of a "measily [trade] embargo that will benefit no person" - to the charismatic Lionel Jospin [PS] - who publicly decries Villepin's policies on Algeria and Africa as "too soft and reactionary - detrimental to the work that France has already committed for the past three decades."

We are anxious as this election rolls on, in the hopes that a good, just, and exciting election year comes around.

===

And this just in:

Parlement is opening for new elections as well. The current majority party - La Union pour un Mouvement Populaire [UMP] - commands astounding power, with 367 of 577 seats. Their policies generally support Villepin's policies, especially with his spearhead into the international scene by standing up against oppressive governments and unwarranted invasions. They are expected to hold the majority. Le Parti Socialiste [PS] - with 141 seats - also holds considerable power in Parlement. Listed below are the parties with considerable power in Parlement:

Union pour un Mouvement Populaire [UMP] - 367
Parti Socialiste [PS] -141
Front National [FN] - 26
Union pour la Dèmocratie Française [UDF] -14
Parti Communiste Français [PCF] - 6
Les Verts [V] - 5
Parti Radical de Gauche [PRG] - 5
Independent [I] - 13
Sieges Total - 577

Villepin has proved to be a good president, with excellent leadership capabilities and magnificient negotiation skills. Denmark would like to endorse Villepin for his efforts to lead a turbulent world to a safer and more peaceful situation.

[ooc: should we hold nobel peace prizes? :D ]

[ooc: maybe :)]

[SIC to Armed Forces:

Current UN peacekeeping force Sudan - numbering around 3500 - is to divided into two groups: the first group [numbering at 1000] will continue to assist UN peacekeeping actions in Sudan. The second will prepare for first strike operations against Australia in Somalia.

Forces in Nouvelle Caledonie are expecting to remain on French territory, while the French Pacific Fleet is expected to assist efforts to blockade Australia and prevent troops, weapons, and supplies from leaving for Somalia. The Indian Ocean flotilla is expected not to take any action and remain at port in Djibouti and Reunion.

Elements of the 2nd Armored Brigade - the 2nd {Dragoon} Armored Regiment [40Leclerc and 25VAB], and the 16th {Chasseur} mechanized Infantry Battalion] - are preparing for operations in Somalia, pending Australia's reluctance to provide even a clear plan for leaving the country. They have regroups in Toulon, where the Mediterranean fleet has mobilized many of its units for action.

All forces mobilized for action have been given the codewords for initiation for combat operations. Let us hope that these initiations will never commence.]

[SIC to Military Forces: Stand down all non-foreign units...potential for crisis has been potentially averted.]

France will drop its trade embargo with Australia, if and only if Australia accedes to the following conditions:

1- A clear and definitive plan is drafted to withdraw Australian troops from Somalia peacefully by the year 2016 at the latest;

2- Australia assents to a UN peacekeeping force to assist in this matter;

3- Australia assents to apologize for its misactions in the African region and for needlessly threatening the world order into a potential conflict;

4- Australiia assents to reparations to the people of Somalia for any damages that their military has caused.

These demands are to be subject to future evaluation, only to lessen the degree of these demands - no further demands shall be incurred.

(OOC: You're taking a harder line than the US is, with demands for apologies and the like, though, with Australia a US ally still, I guess that this should come as no surprise.)

Australia's current plans for withdrawal are completely abominable, and they in fact make no real plan to leave the country by 2016, except if only in statement. France maintains the embargo.

The Ministry of Defense announces the initiation of the 34e Regiment des Forces de Maintien de la Paix [34th Peacekeeping Regiment] as France's official peacekeeping unit for service in UN operations. As an official army unit, the 34th Regiment is expected to be equipped with modern French armory, along with many of the other French Foreign Legion units abroad. The HQ for the34e has been established tentatively near Toulon, the principal military port on the Mediterranean, with a relocation to a more convenient location.

Furthermore, France announces the construction of its second nuclear powered aricraft carrier, finally adding another carrier to the fleet. President Villepin declared that France was ready to pursue another project, despite the seeming ineffectiveness of the Charles de Gaulle; he says that France is ready "to forge a new line of carrier technology, with the mistakes learned and the methods enhanced from our previous construction." After negotiations broke down over the construction of a second carrier with the UK [seeing as France wanted to build a British ship in French docks], Villepin broke back Chirac's former statement and has approved a long standing design for the new carrier. Construction is set to start in 2013, with its estimated completion in 2020 [ready for service in nine weeks...].

[ooc: I hate doing this...]

France is very angry that Italy has forced the surrender of Tunisia, effectively annexing the territory. As a friendly state to both nations, we are aggrieved that we must make a choice between the two, but seeing as Italy has committed the most grave offense to national sovereignty of a nation, we are considering the most horrible options possible now in counter this grave affront to national sovereignty.

We most vehemently detest this annexation and refuse to acknowledge it.

France proposes the following resolution:

The UN GA:

Noting with approval the Australian desires to quit Somalia,

Noting further with approval that Australia's current forces are attempting to improve the Somali condition,

Concerned that the previous actions by the Australian military may lead to scars in the Somali people,

Recalling the past resolution condemning Australia for their invasion of Somalia,

Aware of the various tensions between many nations in the world about the Somalia crisis,

1. Authorizes the organization and deployment of UN peacekeeping forces to assist Somalia and Australia in the following manners:
a) Reconstruction of damaged infrastructure and territory,
b) Construction improvements and modifications to better serve the Somali people, to include:
i) Hospitals,
ii) Schools,
iii) Residential buildings,
iv) Police and fire stations,
v) Government buildings, and
vi) Basic infrastructure,
c) Military training and equipment of the Somali forces,
d) Monitoring of free and fair plebiscite elections for a new Somali government,
e) Assisting the interim and elected government organize and implement Somali policy and enforcements effectively,
f) Providing welfare and humanitarian aid to Somali citizens in dire need of nutrition and medical supplies,
g) Offering personnel to assist in implementing these actions and orders, and
h) Assisting Australian main troops in their withdrawal from Somalia;

2. Encourages all UN members to contribute actively in resolving Somalia's return to national sovereignty in the following manners:
a) Economic assistance,
b) Diplomatic encouragement, and
c) Political assistance;

3. Further encourages those UN states that currently hold sanctions on Australia to cease sanctions upon passage of this resolution;

4. Calls for the creation of a UN oversight committee - the United Nations Committee for the Peaceful Reconstruction and Rehabilitation of the Somali Republic - to monitor UN peacekeeping efforts in Somalia;

5. [U]Decides to remain actively seized in the manner.


This resolution has one week to pass...or fail.

Y - 12 [France, Spain, Saudi Arabia, United States, South Africa, Singapore, Australia, Somalia, Denmark, Austria, Italy, Argentina]
N -

With the passing of this resolution, France formally declares an end to the barring of trade between France and Australia. As far as UN peacekeepers go, we havev not decided on a final force to send, but we are agreeing on a minimum 5000 troop presence. We will update this when it comes around.

France calls upon the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya to cease what seems to be a blatant attack on Tunisian people, evven if the intended target is Italian troops, and even then to forgo the attacks on Italian troops. War and conquest will solve nothing, and at best, it will leave both of your nations detached from the world scene. We furthermore call upon the Italian goverrnment to cease its senseless debacle of invasion and conquest, seeing as their actions are not fit for a European nation in this modern age. Until further ado, we officially withdraw French ambassadors from Rome and any consultates across your country, and all French citizens in Italy are requested to return to France; likewise we order all Italian citizens to return to Italy.

We hereby bar direct diplomatic contacts between the Republic of Italy and the Republic of France.

SIC to Military forces around Provence and Savoie: Perform border closure procedures with the Republic of Italy. Ensure that French and Italian citizens have free passage to their parent countries and restrict the border to any French citizens leaving France without any state permission, and bar any Italian citizen wanting to enter France, unless by state authority.
