France

Disdained by many Americans for its military ineptitude and extremely high standard of living, France is a nation of some 65 million people who wear different berets on different days of the week. The French used to basically own most of southeast Asia, but would prefer not to talk about how that turned out (typical). They did a little better in Africa, where French is still spoken in Morocco, Cote d'Ivoire (EVEN THE NAME IS FRENCH!), and Cameroon. France is famous for wine and cheese and the Eiffel Tower and, uh, the Mona Lisa is there as well, although the guy who painted that was Italian, so that probably doesn't count. Some of their major cultural contributions include Albert Camus and a lot of techno music that guys in tight jeans dance to when they want to look like assholes. One French city is Marseilles. Didier Drogba used to live there.
