France

France was a country in Europe before the Great War.

Background
During World War II, France was occupied by Nazi Germany in 1940. By 1944, France was liberated. In our world, France owned a large colonial empire which was mostly lost before the close of the 20th century. Due to the divergence, the status of the empire remains a mystery.

Not much is known about the state of France before or after the Great War, however, there are references to France in the Fallout series.


 * In Fallout 2, the Golden Globes works on a film featuring a French exchange student.
 * In Fallout 3, three members of Sudden-Death Overtime, Ledoux, Mercier, and Dubois have French-originating surnames.
 * In Fallout 3, Daniel Littlehorn is described as having a penchant for French Traditionalist painters.
 * In Fallout: New Vegas, phrases in the French language are used in areas throughout the game, such as "bon appetit" in the Ultra-Luxe, and a perk named "Cherchez La Femme".
 * In Fallout: New Vegas, Caesar mentions the historic European region of Gaul, which included the entirety of modern France.
 * In Fallout Tactics, the Cheyenne Mountain facility offers a French language countdown.
 * In Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel, Dubois is of French descent.
 * In the hypothetical Fallout: Resource Wars game, the main characters would have had to fight their way from Italy to the English Channel by land. To do so, they would have had to have entered France at some point, since the United Kingdom and France are the only basin countries of the channel.

Appearances
France is never directly mentioned in any Fallout game, however, the country is referenced in Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout Tactics, and Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel.
