OOC: The history sounds good, perhaps a little more detail would be preferable but it is fine. You say the military budget is increased, which is fine, but where is the money coming from, welfare, education, more taxes, etc... And you will need to include some info about your population, government, economy and military, see my newsthread or Choeson's for a good example. Other than those things, it looks good so far.

OOC: One more thing and then you are good to start RPing. You should probably change your population to something like 64 million. The only way France could have 75 million people in 2013 is with third-world growth rates, which France does not have.
