So there I was, choosing Germany in the 2000 scenario, aiming to build the Forth Reich. Neighbouring me is the good old France.

Then somehow a war broke out in the central Europe, between Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and maybe Croatia, as Romania aimed to conquer Hungary. Being one of the allies of Romania, France joined the war.

France then somehow thought that nuking Slovakia twice was a really good idea. The war ended after France gained herself 50 infant points, passing that limit with some previous points added up.

Then nations such as Britain, Belgium, Spain, and also me the Germany started wars to contain her. I was thinking, 'After the wars the French infamy will drop and things will be fine again.'

However I was wrong. There's a communist revolution broken out in France and turned her into a communist state. After the decision of the great purge, France gained 20 infamy points again!

After another bunch of containing wars, a fascist revolution broke out. You all guess it: France carried out a Holocaust, and gained herself another 20!

The story went on and on. Britain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Croatia, Switzerland and even Brazil have all contained France at least 3 times each. I've just finished the seventh France containing war, and the infamy points of France is still seventy-something!
