France

France was a nation-state of Earth, located in western Europe.

Following a period of social upheaval in the 22nd century, Earth's nations were united under the auspecies of the United Powers League in 2229, France among them. Its native language was banned soon after, English designated as the common tongue of the planet.

Some elements of French cultures and customs were carried on by the terran colonists of the Koprulu Sector. Reproductions of nineteeth century French chairs were used by the Old Families of the Terran Confederacy, being favored by Clara Terra. French winemaking also survived into the sector, with products being made such as Benson Cognek. By 2500, some United Earth Directorate officers such as Admiral Gerard DuGalle spoke some French.
