The Pre-Bronze age history of France
Cave paintings found in the caves of the Parisian Hills
The Neolithic tribes that lived in the lands of modern France had quickly abandoned hunting and fishing in favor of agriculture once they had learned how to harvest crops. The lush forest of the Parisian region was not cleared for some time, since at first population growth was slow despite the adoption of agriculture. Not only this, but clearing forests was hard with stone tools, this may have encouraged the tribes to domesticate animals as a supplement. In earlier times they had hunted the plentiful cattle and sheep of the clearings it is not hard to imagine domestication taking place. Some early mining efforts can be found in the Easter hills, these “mines” most likely date to the relatively short Copper Age. The end of this period had seen establishment of several small permanent communities (Paris I) on the site of modern Paris.
A reconstruction of a FranCeltic village
The Copper age culture (3200-2300BC) seems to have had contact with some of the inhabitants of other more distant lands, some evidence of an early Mongolian and Dutch contact exists. The tribes were not unified at this time and little can be said of their culture. The culture of the conglomerate pseudo-city of Paris I was definitely Celtic in nature, the political arangement was most likley some kind tribal alliance under a cheiftan, simlar to the later "King of the Clans" arrangement. The culture of the population in surrounding forests is not known.
What is know that the Fran-Cletic tribes, mingled with two major separate groups. One called the Aquileian by modern historians the other one called Germanic. The Aquilenas had a profound cultural influence; they had vague linguistic, but not cultural similarities, to the Carpathians of the time. Their language replaced the Celtic language very quickly. This coincides with the settlement of Pairs II, so some conquest may have taken place in this period. The second group arrived just before the Bronze age, their language seems to be related closely to the Dutch and American language, they lost their cultural identity quickly however. The lingual mix that remained would become French and the clannish structure even though it had survived would slowly wither, signaling the diminishing importance of Celtic heritage in French cultural identity.
A Clan noble, with his companions while on a mission of trade and exploration.
The third millenium BC, is sometimes called the first age of exploration, for many clansmen with warriors entourages traveled beyond the river Loire, to the far West. This was possible because the local were either not developed enough or did not mind explorers passing in the nearly empty lands they claimed. The Mongols did mind, the French respected these wishes, since the open plains were no place for lone warriors used to the forests and hills of Parisia. They sought adventure, profit, recoginiton as great warrior or were
even sent by the leader of the allaince of clans on a "quest" of exploration.
Contact was made with the "Arabs" of the land of the rivers. It's not clear why the early French visitors to those lands thought of the early Ottomans as Arabs. They probably linked them to the legendary enemies of the lost Western Aquileans or the Western Romanic Empire. Some obscure references to Ottoman legends about a people called "the Bysant" do exist, and they seem culturally similar to the ancient Aquileans, but French sources do not elaborate on this. The Western Aquileans and the lost Continent of Greekantis probably both belong to the realm of myth. The Arabs if they ever existed were probably a dead or dying culture by 3000BC. It is possible they had become a minor desert tribe, after perhaps migrating further west.
The French were not alone in their undertakings, evidence exists of several Rus parties exploring French lands. First contact was friendly, but after a time the Clan leaders grew suspicious of soo many “explorers” and requested their number in their lands be reduced to one group of Scouts. Despite this they provided the Rus with supplies and food, a few men including two Celtic speaking druids (one of the few mentions of them in French history) apparently joined the first group of Rus explorers, impressed by what they saw as piety to the Ozzy. The Rus reportedly also commented on the hospitality of the French and told tales of their land that lay "far far to the West" where another ocean was to be seen by their claims.

One of the most ancient and well preserved wonders of Carpathia is the Oracle at Târgoviste.
"The Code" was written by Vlad Tepes sometime between 2200 BC and 2150 BC. Serving as a basis on which to live ones life, "The Code" is revered by scholars as the most progressive writing of it's time.
Crime and disorder was delt with through the institution of the Carpathian Rathaus. Rathauses (translated means "justice house") served as the police, judge, jury, and executioner in Carpathian cities. 
The grail of Islamic religion is known as Tepes's Cup. This golden cup sat in the middle of Târgoviste Square unguarded for over 4000 years until the Carpathian Union decided to take the cup into a protected museum environment. Never was it stolen, although a few attempts were made. Those foolish enough to try were subjected to anal impalement with an oiled blunt stake after being skinned alive, a special punishment reserved for this crime in particular. 
Samuel the Yankee was chosen by an assembled group of Yankee elders known as the 'College of Electors' to rule over the tribes for the remainder of his life; being relatively young at the time he reigned for a long time and was generally known as a successful King upon his death around 2100 b.c. His reign saw the beginings of the modern American nation, the recognition of a 'federated' kingdom of the verious clans within the Yankee tribe, and probably most important the begining of American diplomacy. According to legend their land was promised to them by their ancient goddess Britannia, so the protection and security of American lands was of not only defensive importance but also religious importance as well as a matter of pride and respect. This quickly came towards disagreements with neighboring peoples, primarily the Carpathians who met the ancient Americans with a degree of hostility that the Americans took very much to heart...
Since his rise to power Samuel has ruled his people with a degree of benevolence and a (relatively) liberal attitude that helped to solidify the Yankee people, despite their local differences and customs. True the language was the same, and they all considered themsleves part of the same nation of people, but the differences between Yankee clans mere miles from one another was enough to stimulate arguments; Samuel knew this, and knew further that they were not alone in this area. Already American warriors had come accross different peoples who no doubt lived close by (the surrounding jungles themselves sometimes took decades to traverse) and the Americans feared that another mighty empire may again return to oppress them. This was Samuel's foremost concern; the safety and autonomy of his people.
