France is a country in Western Europe and one of the founding members of the EEC.
History[]
Post WW2, France had quickly recovered and was once again one of the top countries in Europe. In the 1990s they were one of the countries leading the charge to create the European Economic Community. Around that time, France was inundated with refugees from Africa, causing race riots in some cities.
The Wasting Plague hit France hard in the year 2000, causing the collapse of the Fifth Republic and the formation of the Sixth Republic - an alliance of government offices, corporations, unions, universities, and the military. It successfully stabilised the country, but wasn’t popular. In 2010 the people of France took to rioting, which was their preferred form of protest. By 2014, the Seventh Repulic was born, which focused on citizens of France being allowed to vote on just about anything.[1]
France held elections for its parliament and senate in 2077. The results were still being tabulated, but were considered inconsequential anyway as voter turnout had fallen to 0.3%.[2] It is known that the French netrunner Aurore Cassel was imprisoned in the VIP section of La Sante Prison in Paris, and also had a bounty placed on her head by the French underworld.
Government[]
The government of France, as of 2014, is the Seventh Republic. The Chamber of Delegates has 800 seats, with 200 of them elected each year, and the Chamber of Delegates elects a Prime Minister amongst themselves every five years. However, very little decision-making power is held by them. Once they decide on a course of action, it’s given to the people to vote on whether to carry it out or not via their personal data port at home.[1]
Culture[]
France is a country that very much values its own culture. It's the art capital of the world and attracts painters, sculptors, architects, musicians, and fashion designers. The French believe in Joie de Vivre, living life to its fullest and revelling in it.
There’s a massive difference between urban and rural areas. Urban areas are very high-tech, while rural areas are very quiet and are still covered in 18th century building.[1]
