Franceball

Franceball (alias    Franceballe; born 481) is a culturally, military and economically successful countryball who loves poems, architecture and epic facts. She is the outcome of Franciaball built in  Gaulball on the ruins of  SPQRball and thus, the matrix of European balls. She is currently the wife of her clone  Germanyball, and mother to  EUball.

She still has a friendly rivalry against UKball who stole her America she says, and who sucks at cooking. Franceball also retained some of her imperial possessions, such as French Guianaball,  Réunionball or  French Polynesiaball who are  splendid children who have many good things to cook and who constitutes for her a gigantic maritime space. Franceball conquered a very large part of the planet but is told not to be good at fighting, because of her schizophrenia in WW2 despite of her heroic action in Dunkirk to save UKball. But usually, she tags along with USAball with  Middle-Eastern conflicts (Even told so, Franceball military-talking the most powerful European ball, and she hides a dark side of military pride, Napoleonic and Crusader dreams). She also has the most tourists visiting her clay in the world and is currently experiencing a permanent strike. She also has good and smart diplomacy, noblesse oblige.

Franceball is a member of the G7 as a member of the G20 (or Group of Twenty), a group formed by the countryballs that have the 19 largest economies plus the EUball. She is also a permanent member of the UNball Security Council, trolling  USAball as  Russiaball in their aggressive instincts.

Her national day is in 14th of July (Bastille day). But her birthday is in 25th December, the day of the baptism of Clovis the First. Her first clear king. Her astrological sign is Capricorn. She also wants to remove kebab but she is a major EU member so she will be kicked by Germany. The French election ended on May 7 and the centrist candidate Emmanuel Macron defeated far right candidate Marine Le Pen.

Franceball was host of two FIFA World Cup in the past: the first time in 1938, and the second time in 1998.

Ancient History (200BC-1200AD)
Franceball is biological daughter of Gaulball and  SPQRball, and also adoptive sister of UKball. Her father, SPQRball, was a harsh trainer but otherwise a loving father who taught them nice pools, christianity and the art of Imperialism. When SPQRball died (killed by  Germaniaball), however, they were left as orphans, and the once-siblings, became rivals who always tried to up each other in the game of World Domination, to be the one and only successor of  SPQRball, aka the Imperium.

The siblings have always fought each other ever since. After she defeated the barbarians on their clay in the 600s, she became a powerful empire in Europe. In 843, while Englandball reestablished relative control over his rainy clay, Franceball (then known as  Franciaball) expanded her empire into  Germania, Italy, Spain and Burgundy, diffusing catholicism, latin language and her cooking and architecture over there, but her clay was divided in tree parts around 900. So this event built a kind of other Franceball, in  Germaniaball, a clone in other words, who begun  HREball.

In 1066, her step-brother Normandyball conquered  Englandball's clay, resulting in Franceball's political and cultural domination of  Englandball's clay for some centuries.This is why all smart and complicated words come from her language.

In 1090's Franceball started the first crusade up, claiming  Jerusalemcube and took it in 1098 after building new countryballs in Levant,  Kingdom of Jerusalemball. For the next centuries, Franceball has been the primordial european arbitrator of the political events of Mediterranea and Orient, being sometime in open war with  Turkeyball and  Egyptball.

France Médiévale (1200-1610)
A long period of self-fulfillment continued in this context. Franceball developed new architecture as the "french art" (alias gothic), new recipes, her language, her courteous feeling and a new concept of chivalry that are still so fashionable.

After having a first time completely rid herself of the painfull presence of  Englandball who harassed her since the XIth century, she began a great modernization work at home. Englandball, HREball and  Flandersball decided to bash her into an imposing coalition. So in 1214 HREball and  Flandersball attacked her to the head while  Englandball attacked simultaneously in the back. Franceball counter-attacked and severely kicked them all at the battles of Castillon and Bouvines, strengthening her main position in Occident.Later, the Hundred Years' War was a series of conflicts waged from 1337 to 1453 pitting Englandball, against    Franceball for control of her clay and finishing by the definitive expulsion of  Englandball of her ground. Here is a full list of English-French rivalry. With a tactics of entrenchment and archery which put an end to the chivalrous methods of Franceball, Englandball defeated her at Crecy in 1346, and Poitiers in 1356, taking enormous part of her land which was reconquered and conquered again during decades. To make matters worse for her, a civil war begun between the feodal guilds of Burgundyball and  Orleansball (who successively allied themselves to England) and, as detail, the Black Death destroyed most of her  resources in the 1340s and 1350s. However she had the pleasure of watching it spread to  Englandball and also watching his civil war, known as  the Wars of the Roses. In 1415, after a particularly humiliating defeat by her brother at Agincourt, after which almost half her clay was occupied by him, she secretly vowed to get his act together again. In 1429, she did just that, kicking his arse at Orleans and retaking Paris to  Burgundyball. But in 1431, with Burgundyball's  help, Englandball captured and burned her secret to power.

However, Burgundyball abandoned  Englandball when   Franceball developed her new fatal toy : the powdered artillery regiments to solve all her problems. She reclaimed most of her clay by 1453, with the exception of Calais city which was the first "Gibraltar" of UKball (recovered in 1558), ending the systematic looting of its pretty gardens.

But a kind of cold war begun with Burgundyball.   Franceball built a large anti-Burgundyball club with   Savoyball,  Switzerlandball,  Lorraineball,  Alsaceball and  Milanball which isolated  Burgundyball. This proxy war ended in the battle of Nancyball in 1477 and with the desintegration of burgundian states between Franceball and Habsburg family, preparing tree centuries of intensive wars between  Spainball and Franceball for the recovery of this ex "Grand duché d'Occident".

By the 1480s,  Franceball mooved into  the Renaissance of the 1500s as  Burgundyball did 30 years before  and  Italyball before again.

Apart from the occasional war with Englandball in 1512 and  1525/6, tensions between the two siblings lowered as they celebrated together at   the Field of the Cloth of Gold in 1520, that was the occasion to humiliate   and  sportively  Englandball. In 1555, Franceball reclaimed Calais from him, and set about organising her army and navy for overseas  exploration, colonisation, and trade. In 1559, however, Franceball ended her alliance with  Englandball's brother   Scotlandball, after he became Presbyterian, and kicked her  out of Leith, and set about massacring Protestant Huguenots in 1572 when they began  to think about a dynasty reversal. She also began reclaiming her frontiers. By 1600, after having fought  Spainball a lot, and building some  overseas colonies, she was the most influential ball in Europe once again.

Ancien Régime (1610-1789)
In the 1660s,  Franceball  had become a rich and prosperous nation. However, she had been badly traumatised by the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). The resulting Peace of Westphalia in 1648 had seen the European political spectrum shift dramatically, and in 1682, Franceball completed an ambitious project of hers, the Palace of Versailles, which rivalled all other palaces in Europe. She had also made some conquests in the Lorraine east in the 1670s and 1680s.

She was also involved in European conflicts, such as the Nine Years War, and the War of the Spanish Succession in the 1700s. She had also not forgotten about Englandball's humiliation of herself in the Middle Ages, and tried to extract revenge by supporting the Catholic Irelandball in 169

1 against Englandball, albeit half-heartedly. In 1718, Franceball briefly reconciled with her brother, the newly-united UKball to fight  Spainball in the War of the Quadruple Alliance (1718-1720).

In 1730,  Franceball was at a new height, having a string of colonies in the Americas, governed by her son  New Franceball, and an alliance with the soon-to be anschlussed Madrasball. She had adopted children such as San Domingoball (later succeded by his son Haitiball),  Martiniqueball, and Guadelopeball. And yet, she wanted more. In 1745, the War of the Austrian Sucession saw her take most of Austrian Netherlandsball's clay, only to be forced to hand it back in 1748 by the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle. Her desperate attempts to get revenge on UKball culminated in the Diplomatic Revolution, and the Seven Years War of 1754-1763, during which she lost India, Americas, and the Carribean. The humiliating Treaty of Paris in 1763 saw her lose most of her colonial possessions, and New Franceball was adopted by  UKball to be raised with  Thirteen Coloniesball. In 1776, Thirteen Coloniesball declared independence from his father  UKball, and seeing her chance to get even with her brother,  sent supplies and ammunition to help her nephew, and Franceball  went personally in 1778 to help him, tripling his forces. Despite UKball's help from  Iroquoisball and  Hesseball, he was unable to prevail the french and rebell forces, and was forced to pull out of America in 1781, after the blockage of his fleet by   Franceball  at the Siege of Yorktown, and another Treaty of Parisball in 1783 forced him to recognize his son as the newly-independent  USAball who just mumbled a "thank you" to her and began to watch Louisianaball with appetite. Helping her nephew, however, had cost  Franceball a lot of money, which meant that she was now deeply in debt. Her extravagant lifestyle contributed to her financial problems, and despite scientific breakthroughs and discoveries in the Enlightenment, new ideals of Liberty and Equality had penetrated her mind, and in 1789, she had a complete personality change. This alarmed her ally Austriaball, her hated neighbour  UKball and the other European balls who were still conservatively minded.

Révolution and Napoleonic Wars (1789-1815)
In 1792, Franceball declared herself to be a republic, and won the Battle of Valmy against  Prussiaball and  Austriaball attempting to seize her clay. The First Coalition was formed against her by UKball and  Austriaball, and as a result, in 1793,  Franceball set about purging her memories of the Bourbon past. However, she found herself descending into madness and schizophrenia, as the civil war in the Vendee (1793-1796) and the Terror (1793-94) nibbled away at her sanity. By 1794 UKball had invaded Flanders with the help of  Dutch Republicball and  Holy Roman Empireball but was defeated and chased away by  Franceball in 1795. But by 1795, she had a new personality, the first European republic ball, and set about taking her lands back. In 1796-7, she invaded Piedmontball,  Savoyball and the  Papal Statesball's clay, emptying  Vatican Cityball's treasury, and marching into Vienna. The Second Coalition was formed to stop her in 1793, and her brother UKball blockaded her port at Toulon in 1797, but failed to stop his advancing upon  Maltaball and  Egyptball in 1798. He did, however, succeed in destroying her ships at the Battle of the Nile while she was distracted by Ottoman Empireball in Syria, so in 1799, she left  Egypt and returned to Europe. In 1800, Franceball defeated  Austriaball at the Battle of Marengo, and defeated  Holy Roman Empireball the following year. The Peace of Amiens in 1802 that came after UKball's temporary defeat offered her a bit of a breather, but she realized she was running low on funds. So in 1803, she sold the Louisiana Territory to USAball for 15,000,000 USD, and declared herself an Empire in 1804. However, her navy was utterly annihilated at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 by UKball, and realizing she was better at land warfare, she spent most of his money on her Grand Armée. In 1805 UKball funded a coalition against Franceball in an attempt to remove Bonapartist sentiments from her, in response  Franceball marched onto central Europe where she defeated  Russiaball and  Austriaball at Austerlitz, resulting in the dissolution of  Holy Roman Empireball. In 1806, she won the twin battles of Iéna and Auerstadt, then Tilsit against Russian Empireball, and also against Prussiaball, and the Confederation of the Rhine, which gave her domination of Continental Europe. She implemented the Continental System, an attempt to embargo UKball into submission. Austriaball was defeated again in 1809 at the battle of Wagram, and the Treaty of Schoenbrunn was signed.

In 1808, she began the Peninsular War (1808-1814), against Spainball, who no longer co-operated with her, and she took Madrid in 1809, forcing  Portugalball and  Kingdom of the Two Siciliesball into exile. By 1811, Franceball ruled much of Europe, having defeated the Third and Fourth and Fifth Coalitions, with  Austriaball,  UKball and  Prussiaball subdued. Drunk on success & confidence, she invaded Russiaball's massive clay via Warsaw. She advanced into Smolensk and Moscow, which Russiaball had destroyed in advance, so she found nothing. Starving and bitterly cold and disappointed, she headed home, only to find the road blocked at Maloyaroslavets, forcing her into combat with Russiaball at Borodino in the winter of 1812. She won the battle, but the winter caused her to weaken, and she barely made it back to her clay, with her prestige in tatters.

The War of the Sixth Coalition saw Franceball shamed further by the Confederation of the Rhine and  Prussiaball at the Battle of Leipzig in 1813, and her defeat in Spain in 1814. By mid-1814, the armies of the Sixth Coalition were advancing on her clay, and she decided to send her Bonapartist sentiments to Elba. However, they escaped, and by June 1815, it was back on her former clay, with her army back, and she marched on Brussels, but was stopped at Les Quatres Bras, where she defeated Prussiaball. However, UKball and  Prussiaball managed to finally defeat her at the Battle of Waterloo, whereupon she was given therapy by the Concert of Europe, and her personality changed back into her old self (mostly). Her Bonapartist sentiments were sent to UKball's son St. Helenaball's clay, and it died in 1821.

Révolutions and Wars (1815-1914)
After 1815, the Concert of Europe was set up to help Europe recover from Franceball's rampage. She became once again, a secondary power to UKball, who dominated the world unquestionably during the Pax Britannica, and focused on overseas colonies. Her new continental possessions had been removed from her, and in the 1820s and 1830s she invaded much of the Algerian coastline, seizing control from the Barbary pirates. In 1830, she had another change of personality, albeit a much smaller one this time, which did not have much effect upon her. In 1832, she had a brief period of schizophrenia.

Franceball took advantage of the Industrial Revolution to expand her economy and industry. She had yet another personality change in 1848, along with Austriaball, and  Prussiaball, and declared herself a republic once again. However, in 1852, she became an Empire again. This time, she sought to co-operate with her brother, having matured. They worked together in the Crimean War against Russiaball with  Ottoman Empireball in 1853-56, and again in 1859-60 in  Qing Chinaball's clay in the Second Opium War. During the Second Empire, Franceball adopted Savoieball and Niceball from  Sardiniaball, who later became  Italyball in 1861, after Franceball helped him libertae Italian Stateballs from Austriaball in 1859; and then she experienced a revival in the arts and sciences, with new buildings, such as the Pantheon, the Opera Garnier, and the Napoleon III apartments in the Louvre. Franceball claimed new colonies by adopting New Caledoniaball in 1853, and Cochinchinaball in 1862.



However, Franceball's luck declined from 1863 onwards. She tried to help Austriaball onto  Mexicoball's clay, but  Mexicoball defeated miraculously them both, and she left in frustration. In 1866, Austriaball and  Prussiaball were at war with each other, and  Prussiaball and the North German Confederation tried to gain Franceball's guarantee of neutrality. She was too busy eyeing Luxembourgball's clay to notice, however, and after an unsatisfactory reply was produced to  Prussiaball, he invaded Franceball's clay in 1870, defeating her at Metz and Sedan, and laying siege to Paris. She was humiliated once more, and sought revenge after Prussia, who became German Empireball,in 1871, and took her  Alsaceball and eastern  Lorraineball clay.

After the defeat of 1870, Franceball descended into madness again, but the Third Republic was declared in 1871, and came to be a long-lasting cure for Franceball's constant fits of madness and personality changes. By 1884, she had recovered enough to participate in the Scramble of Africa, kidnapping & forcefully adopting Senegalball,  Gabonball, Upper Voltaball,  Tunisiaball and Dahomeyball. She gradually became stable again, donating and receiving gifts (the Statue of Liberty to USAball in 1886, and the Eiffel Tower in 1889), and entered the prosperity of the Belle Epoque of the 1890s, with only the Dreyfuss Affair of 1895 to worry her. She invaded Madagascar in 1895, and formed alliances with her brother UKball formally in 1904, and  Russiaball, in 1907, to form the Triple Entente, or the Entente Cordiale, to protect herself against  German Empire's growing strength. She longed to recover her provinces of Alsaceball and  Lorraineball, so when war broke out in 1914, she enthusiastically launched Plan 17, and attacked  German Empire's western Rhine border.

Guerres Mondiales (1914-1945)
However, German Empireball had activated his Schliffen Plan, and attacked through  Belgiumball's clay, which slowed him down slightly, giving Franceball valuable time to mobilize her army. Franceball defended Paris at the Miracle of the Marne, while her brother outflanked German Empireball in the Race to the Sea. In 1915, German Empireball used poison-gas and aerial-bombers at Mons, and beat up Franceball at Neuve-Chapelle but was defeated by Franceball at Verdun in 1916. By 1917, the tide of war was turning, as the Allies captured all of German Empire's overseas colonies, and despite  Russiaball's personality change, they were supplemented by  USAball's help, who helped defeat  German Empireball at the Meuse-Argonne offensive in spring 1918. Franceball and UKball accepted an armistice, which went into effect on the 11th of November, 1918.

As Austriaball,  German Empireball was completely dismembered, and his son,  Germanyball, was forced by  Franceball to pay massive reparations of 6.6 billion pounds, and also forced to sign the humiliating Treaty of Versailles in 1919 at the Paris Peace Conference. Alsace-Lorraine clay was returned to Franceball, who received the Levant, Kamerunball, Togolandball, and the Saarland as well, and   Germanyball was forbidden from  uniting with  Austriaball, or arming the  Rhinelands, bordering Franceball's clay. When hyperinflation set in in Germanyball's clay in 1923, he tried to postpone payments, only for an enraged Franceball to occupy his Ruhr clay. She left in 1925, after Germanyball signed the Locarno Treaties, and joined the League of Nations, of which she already was a founding member of, in 1926, satisfied that she was now safe. She also signed the Kellogg-Briand Pact of 1928 in favour of disarmament, but just as it looked as though the world was headed for peace, it was plunged into the Great Depression by the Wall Street Crash in USAball's stock market in 1929.

Without USAball's loans, Franceball's economies ground to a halt, as  Germanyball became  Nazi Germanyball, intent on avenging  Reichtangle in 1933, and  Italyball became fascist. Not wanting another War, UKball and Franceball used a policy of appeasement in the 1930s, which included giving Nazi Germanyball the Saarland back, allowing him to rearm the  Rhinelands, and re-occupy Danzig. After the 1938 Anschluss, and the Czech crisis of 1938, the 1933 Four Powers Pact and the Munich Agreement were signed, but immediately over-stepped by Nazi Germanyball in 1939 when he invaded  Polandball's clay.

In 1939-1940, Nazi Germany blitzkrieged through  Denmarkballs clay,  Norwayball's clay, the Low Countries, and invaded Franceball's clay, by coming around the Maginot Line and taking Paris. She was raped, and fled to her brother UKball's clay after their defeat at Dunkirk, and became  Free Franceball. Her German son Vichy Franceball was trained to govern Franceball's former clay for his father, who invaded the Balkans, Greeceball's clay, and Eastern Europe. In 1941, Japanball, who had invaded her adoptive son  French Indochinaball's clay bombed  USAball's navy at Pearl Harbour, causing him to enter the war. He was given permission to land in Franceball's North African possessions, via Operation Torch, to drive Nazi Germanyball out of North Africa.

Meanwhile, Sovietball had defeated  Nazi Germanyball in 1943 at Stalingrad and Kursk, while the battle of El-Alamein was won by the Allies. In 1944, she landed at the beaches of southern France and Monte Cassio in Operation Dragoon, and also in Normandy in June 1944. Free Franceball liberated Paris in September, and the Allies pushed into the Ardennes in the winter of 1944-45. By May 1945, Nazi Germanyball was dead, followed by  Vichy Franceball, who was dissolved, and  Japanball, who was bombed by  USAball. France stood next to Germany's corpse waiting for him to open his eyes again. Mysteriously, she had fallen in love with Germany at his bedside. Sovietball and the Western Allies partitioned Nazi Germanyball's clay formally in 1948, and the following year, Franceball gave her sector to  Nazi Germanyball's sons,   Austriaball and  West Germanyball, and they joined  NATO. She became a permanent member of the newly-formed UN security council, and declared the Fourth Republic. She also created and held on to Saar Protectorateball until 1957.

Modern Franceball
After World War II and the conclusion of her double old vendetta against both destroyed Austriaball and  Prussiaball, Franceball began to flourish again. But the disastrous 1946 war of decolonization in Indochina, where North Vietnamball and  South Vietnamball, as well as  Cambodiaball and  Laosball gained their independence in the 1954 Geneva Accords following Franceball's Dien Bien Phu defeat left her relatively destitute. She then let some of the African colonies, namely French West Africaball and  French Equatorial Africaball go without a fight, by referendum, being not able to offer French citizen equality to all the subjects of the Empire without making of her own European population an ethnic minority. In 1958 she formed the Fifth Republic's system to resolve a major political crisis in the decolonization context, but was forced to give up her last major colonial possession, Algeriaball, up in 1962 following the Evian Accords to stop a steril bloody war. By now she had already formed the EECball (later  EUball )'s predecessor entity, the European Coal and Steel Union in 1951, and through the 1956 Treaty of Rome, married  West Germanyball and gave birth to EEC (  EUball ) in the Treaty of Utrecht the  following year. She put a vet at the entrance of UKball's in  EUball considering he's just a troll (future showed that he was) but he entered in 1973 after De Gaulle's death. She had a brief madness anti-systemic period in 1968, origin of her current migraines.

Her Gaullist era ended in 1970, but she continues to be a massive influence of world politics, and in the 1990s was essential in the reorganization of her son EUball. People come from all over once more to visit her clay and she once again became a vibrant countryball of culture, arts and sports. In 1998, her beloved "Bleus" won the World Cup on home clay in the mythic Stadium of Franceball. Franceball also hosts the French Open tennis tournament at Roland-Garros, as well as the Tour de France bicycle race, which has been travelling annually across her clay every July since 1903 (except during the World Wars). It is the highlight of Franceball's summer because it brings millions of cycling fans to her clay from all over the world.

2015 : Tragic Year
The 2015 was Tragic Year of France, beacuse there are two major terrorist attacks happened in Parisball. On January 7, 2015, two ISISball members shot 11 members of the staff at Charlie Hebdo dead, also killing a police officer. On November 13, 2015, ISISball attacked Parisball again. They started suicide bombings at outside of the Stade de France first, and continued into the streets of the city killing people at several cafes and at the Bataclan concert hall, where people attending a rock concert were also taken hostage. 137 Dead, around 500 were non-fatal injuries.The attack in Parisball on November 13, 2015 was the most devastating terrorist attacks in Franceball's history.

2016 : Joy and Sadness
The year 2016 was a year of both joy and sadness for Franceball. After 7 years of futility, she finally could into a good result at the Eurovision Song Contest when she went to Swedenball and finished in 6th place in the grand final with the extremely catchy song J'ai cherché, her best result in 14 years. A month later, she proudly hosted the 2016 UEFA Euro Cup soccer tournament. She rekt her husband Germanyball after kicking Islandball in a funny "festival des buts" and finally lost in extra time to her brother  Portugalball. Still, the tournament was seen as a massive success bringing supporters throughout the metropolitan area.

On July 14 (Bastille Day), a day that was meant for celebration, tragedy struck when Niceball was run over by a truck. Because of what happened combined with the 2015 attacks at Charlie Hebdo and the Bataclan, Franceball has sworn never to forgive ISISball for what they did. And despite the sadness, her beloved Tour de France went on, taking time to remember the victims of that horrible attack.

2017: A rollercoaster of good and hard times
On January 29, 2017, Franceball won the world men's handball championship. On that same day in Philippinesball, she won Miss Universe - the only candidate from Europe to advance through the competition. She had waited over 60 years for this moment!

Now, Franceball is debating who's gonna be the next president (good luck!) in a surrealist campaign full of corruption scandals. On 20 April, at 9:00 PM, a new attack happened on the Champs-Elysées. Franceball will still never forgive what ISISball did before the presidential elections. She wanted to elect another president between the young liberal Emmanuel Macron of En Marche! and conservative kebab remover Marine Le Pen of the National Front, which created a big social divide in her clay. (like USAball in 2016).

But sadly, on June 19, 2017, a closed attack happened on the Champs-Elysées (terrorist attacked the police). No deaths, but only the terrorist is dead. But Franceball still worries about the possible attacks happening in the future.

Franceball was delighted to learn on July 31, 2017 that her dear Parisball would be hosting the 2024 Summer Olympics after  Los Angelesball made a deal with the IOC to host 2028 instead - it was made official on September 13, 2017 at the IOC's meetings in Peruball. She can't wait to welcome the world to her clay for that beautiful event!

On October 10, 2017, she qualified for the World Cup in Russiaball (and is now looking to rekt  Swedenball for revenge over beating her in the June qualifiers).

Metropolitan regionballs
France is divided into 18 administrative regions, including 13 metropolitan regions and 5 overseas regions.

The 13 metropolitan regions (including 12 mainland regions and Corsica) are each further subdivided into 2 to 13 departments, while the overseas regions consist of only one department each and hence are also referred to as "overseas departments". The current legal concept of region was adopted in 1982, and in 2016 what had been 27 regions was reduced to 18.
