The Future of the Franco-American States
•
by Dillan Stone
While I strongly oppose this war, the reality is that France will fall long before the war fever subsides. It is currently being defended effectively only on the British front, and that probably has more to do with the UK's comparatively feeble attack, than any broader strategic implications.
That said, if the stories in the pro-war press are to be believed (and thus far I see no reason to disbelieve them, only to be skeptical of their conclusions), the eUSA will soon have four (possibly five) new "states" - the States of Franco-America.
From a game-mechanics perspective, the Regions of France we steamroll will become American States. Which means each one will elect a Congressman. What will that look like?
Most likely, they will be the least contested Congress seats in the eUS. This is because there is no likelihood of enough new French citizens being in the American-conquered provinces to form a resistance party that can crack the Top 5. There is also little likelihood of Americans moving to American France in large numbers. The few French who remain will likely still be the local majority, but they will have between one and five Anglophones to choose from for Congress, as a result.
Now, this analysis may not be perfect - after all, SOME Congressmen did vote against the War. But as far as I am aware, none of the top five political parties took such a position. And with all five of the biggest political parties being pro-war and pro-occupation, it is unlikely they will run either a Native French candidate, or even an anti-war candidate, in those new provinces.
At least in the Fascist State of Turkey, the Greeks and Isrealis have enough clout to form their own parties and run for office, even if there's massive cheating on all sides. In the new Imperial States of America, the French voice will be silenced with a boot to the throat.
Liberty and Justice for all, indeed.

PERTAMAXXXXX
Im sure eventually some french party will be formed. I bet some frecnh sympathiser will fund the party, probably not a french person but some rich american who wants the french to have a voice. How long until they get a party I don't know. Probably a long time though.
Nice article, enjoyed it. Subscribed.
I hope the President is listening, Dillan
eUSA is the light of the world. It would be evil of us not to spread the joy and show eFrance a better life.
WTF is pertamax?
This is a good article, voted and subscribed.
FRANCOMERIA!
THE NEW FRENCH STATES WILL BE CALLED "FRANCOMERICA", NOT FRANCO-AMERICA
Oh the inside joke you just stumbled upon...
Personally, I see what you're arguing, and I can't say I agree with it being "wrong." I see the invasion of France and its occupation / "annexation" to be just part of the game. Will they be able to mount political parties in opposition?
Of course; Israel and Greece have done just that not because the Turkish governments allowed it (like the eUS government will stop a "France est tres choutte" party [respectively] from forming...) but because there became a need for it, and the need was large enough to be at least 1/5 of the population. I am sure if the French really wanted to, they could organize. Nonetheless, why should those which we invaded not be a little oppressed? Is it so wrong? Nowehere does it say eUSA is the land of freedom and justice for all. Personally, I like it to be rather "Freedom and justice for US" (That way, you can say "us" or "U.S." double play of words!).

Aha. Franco-American I hath seen that before. While I do not agree with you, great articles, all of these. Maybe we can strike up an American Daily Journal/American Legal Journal deal?
Liberty and Justice for all (except the French)
Sounds right to me.
