Franksball

The  Franksball, also called Franciaball, or during their empire period Frankish Empireball, was a historical countryball and were a crusader until he was split into West Franciaball, East Franciaball and Middle Franciaball and among them West Franciaball will be the future Franceball and East Franciaball will be the future  Holy Roman Empireball. So, they're the first design or dad of Franceball.

History
was a 2ball and, later,  Germaniaball. They were a parasite of SPQRball before becoming independent and conquering most of  Gaulball with their friend,  Burgundyball (Germania), after the battle of Soissons in 486 and dethatching  Visigothic Kingdomball some years later.

They were a clever ball, understanding that it was necessary to be Catholic to control  Gaulball soon. And he was the first Germaniaball baptized in 496 in Reimsball.

In a mental Salian sharing, they had a long schizophrenic period after having conquered their friend Burgundyball. They lived three centuries between their four personalities which were Austrasiaball, Burgundyball,  Aquitaineball, and Neustriaball before being convinced to be this last one.

Franksball was a military generous ball who conquered many territories around them; sharing Christianity and their Gallic-Roman culture, building the European civilization in opposition with  Byzantineball's own, and the new Islamic world.

They stopped the Umayyadball advancement who destroyed the  Gothsball in Poitiersball in 732 and being the protector of  Christianity in 800 CE, grew into a stronk empire. HEIL CHARLEMAGNE!!!

Afterwards, the Merovingians died and Pepin the Short was crowned in the king, and in a little time, HEIL Charlemagne become the monarch and killed Lombardsball,  Saxonyball and created  Cataloniaball, becoming the Roman Emperor, making  Byzantineball very angry.

They broke in three in 843 after a tragic case of a horrible disease called "succession crisis-itis". The western third became what we know as Franceball, the east became  Germanyball and the middle... weeeelllll... keeping track is only half the fun!
