France (Dieudonné's)
The Kingdom of France (French: Royaume de France), often referred to simply as France Rizz, is a Discord-based mock government themed around the Ancien Régime. Widely regarded as a pioneer in the monarchy segment of the mock government community, it has significantly influenced the community over the years.

Founded initially as a joke in mid-2019 by Dieudonné under the name "Kingdom of Serber" due to a misspelling, it evolved into an Anglo-French Union and subsequently took on various forms. Most notably, it became the French Empire before settling into its current form as the Kingdom of France on August 4, 2020. The server has since changed it's government several times in the past, but at present and for most of it's history it has remained the Bourbon Kingdom of France.

The Monarchy
The chief political apparatus in France is it's Monarchy, it is the center of all political power within the server, and to date has been held by only a few individuals. The King is automatically made an admin upon their ascension to the throne.
The French Monarchy, like it's historical counterpart, is strictly through a Male line, and to members of the Capetian Dynasty, presently represented by the House of Bourbon. The regnal number of the French monarch follows standard rules present in most monarchies, if the monarch chooses a historic name/character as their monarchial name, then it follows a rule of precedence, for example, if someone were to style themselves as Charles X, they would be considered the first monarch of that name, and all subsequent monarchs would have regnal numbers according to that.
The Conseil du Roi and Chief Ministry
France has for most of it's history has been organized under a Absolute Monarchy, with the King usually appointing a Chief Minister, and his Minister's or Great Officers to his Council. This system reached its peak under Louis lol (Louis XIV), though has often been the subject of attempted reform.
After the February Revolution in France, the government established by a restored Dieudonné introduced what is largely considered the most successful Semi-Constitutional system in France, with the Conseil du Roi taking a role similar to many countries' Council of Ministers or Cabinets. With the Chief Minister being elected every month.
The Parlement Royale
As stated before, for most of French History, France did not have a functioning legislature, with the role usually being fulfilled by a series of failed sessions of the États Généraux. These systems hardly ever passed legislation, and were often the source of much disappointment.
On the 2nd of February, Dieudonné issued the Edict of Paris, which established the first irritation of what would later be known as the "Model Parliament System", which consisted of two chambers of 10 members each, the Upper House being the Chamber of Peers, and lower house being the Chamber of Deputies. The Upper House was directly appointed by the King through applications of the Peerage, and was thusly limited to France's Second Estate, or Nobility. The Lower House was directly elected however, and would be the source of the current parliamentary system in France, as during the February Revolution, it would be transformed into the National Convention, which after the Restoration of the Monarchy be transformed into the current Parlement Royale.
The Parlement Royale is a unicameral legislature, which consists of 20 members, these members are elected directly through Universal Suffrage, and serve a term of 1 month. The members however do not represent regions or provinces however, and are instead elected based off of which percentage of the vote their party won in the elections, similar to a few mock governments.

Politics
The Kingdom of France, after the events of the Day of Anarchy (See: History), was reformed by an interim cabinet, headed by Edmond, Prince de Talleyrand. Under the current system, first implemented under Dieudonné IV, the Kingdom of France is a Semi-Constitutional Monarchy, with a well fleshed out constitutional charter.
Government
The executive branch is composed of two positions. The Monarch, currently Dieudonné IV, is the head of state, chosen via male-line succession of the royal family. The Prime Minister, currently Edmond, Prince de Talleyrand, is the head of government, appointed by the Monarch to lead the government, with the Prime Minister able to be dismiss by the Parlement Royale with a simple majority vote. The Monarch has the power to dissolve Parliament, appoints judges with the consent of the Parlement Royale, negotiates and ratifies international agreements, as well as serves as commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces. The Prime Minister determines public policy and oversees the civil service, with an emphasis on domestic matters.
The legislature consists of the Parlement Royale, a unicameral body made up of 21 members, voted via proportional representation for one month terms. They can vote of bills, consent to the appointment of judges, dismiss the Prime Minister, and overturn Royal Vetos, making the democratically elected body very strong for a Semi-Constitutional Monarchy.

History
The Ancient Frances
France has had three iterations, or "servers" in its past. Both of these servers took the form of either the French Empire or the Angevin Empire during this time, there unfortunately isn't much left from this period in terms of archives, but it is safe to say that France has existed in one form or another since at earliest 2018, though it is more likely early 2019. The creation of France proper came from the collapse of Dieudonns's NationRP server, League of Nations, after it fell, he and other members of the server, notably JuJitzu, formed a new server based off of a misspelling of "Serbia" called "Kingdom of Serber" as a joke. This server would later transform into the first iteration of France, in the form of a fictional personal union between France and England.
International Congress
After the loss of ownership of the first France server, Dieudonné and his group formed a new France server, this server entered a Universe (a close knit collection of server's with a shared map and often time period) with several other servers, notably a Russian Empire server, a United Kingdom server and DeWitt's Esterian Empire, the time period of International Congress was early 1900s. France played a major role, and often the center of controversy in the IC, often due to it's policies and colonial ambitions. Despite this, it is still a fondly remember period, as one of a few points in French history with a functioning universe. The period eventually ended quietly, after Dieudonné once again lost ownership of the France server from the period.
"Stateless Period" and the Creation of the Current Server
After the fall of "Second France" in mid 2019, Dieudonné and his group entered a what is now called "stateless period", wherein Dieudonné would create a new server every few months based on his particular interests, these servers included an Austria, Romania and Sweden. This period is considered especially negatively, mainly by Dieudonné due to the consistent failure of these servers, however is still recognized for its eventual role in birthing France in it's current form. France in it's present form, or Third France, would be created after Dieudonné and JuJitzu decided to revive it, with JuJitzu serving as the First King under an Orléanist monarchy. JuJitzu is thusly considered France's first King, though before this period, the King/Emperorship had only been held by him and Dieudonné, along with one other person.
