France - Sheep NES

La République Française




History: Although ultimately a victor in World Wars I and II, France suffered extensive losses in its empire, wealth, manpower, and rank as a dominant nation-state. Nevertheless, France today is one of the most modern countries in the world and is a leader among European nations. Since 1958, it has constructed a presidential democracy resistant to the instabilities experienced in earlier parliamentary democracies. In recent years, its reconciliation and cooperation with Germany have proved central to the economic integration of Europe, including the advent of the euro in January 1999. Presently, France is at the forefront of European states seeking to exploit the momentum of monetary union to advance the creation of a more unified and capable European defense and security apparatus.

We will gladly accept your offer of alliance.

The British Consulate in Paris to Mr. Chirac:

The United Kingdom is interested in continuing our trade agreement (namely the EEC) and our Union of Nations (namely the EU).

A most similar message will be passed on to the other members of both organisations aforementioned.

We believe that is an excellent idea, but we will have to ask Germany first.

From: France
To: Britain

We would be glad to continue the EEC. The EU however, we're not so sure about. We'd like to see if the other EU members are going to continue the agreement before we make a decision.

We wish to invite you to the Franco-German alliance. Your fears of Germany are unfounded; they are not a threat to the world. Furthermore, your ally India has already asked admission to our alliance, which is all the more reason for you to join us. So please join us, in order to ensure greater world security and stability.

Yours, President Jacques Chirac of France

To France:
We reject this offer. Russia will never ally with Nazi Germany. Have you so quickly forgoten history of the Nazis in Germany?? Russia has not.
