* RichardNixonTheUsedCarSalesman: Gaxotte is a French journalist and historian, notable for being a disciple of Charles Maurras and a contributor to the ''Action Française'' newspaper. During WWII, he maintained Maurras's anti-German line and opposed collaboration with the Vichy regime, and after the war, he abandoned politics entirely to focus on historical writing, though he remained fiercely monarchist. In TNO, changing circumstances caused Gaxotte to become the leader of Action Française, and he can be elected to the presidency of Vichy France.

The French State is the regime formed by Marshal Philippe Pétain following the 1940 Armistice with Germany. Though initially maintaining a degree of independence, the Reich would return to strangle France to near-death in the post-war, subjecting it to crippling treaties, economic ruination, and most damningly, the outright partition of the Métropole. By 1962, the French State exists in a state of limbo, with numerous militias challenging the state and Europe's black scar eyeing their helpless prey. The future of France will be a dark one, but as long as France still stands, it will still have a chance to reach its redemption.

The French State is the regime formed by Marshal Philippe Pétain's collaboration with Germany. By 1962, the French State is a failing state after years of subordination under Germany. The economy has crashed alongside Germany's, their colonies were partitioned or declared independence, their land was lost to Germany, Italy, Burgundy and Brittany, their military is restricted to being borderline non-existent, and their politics are a chaotic mess as well.

* AuthorityInNameOnly: Although the French State de jure controls all of Algeria, it effectively only controls the capital city of Algiers. The rest of Algeria is controlled by the Iberian and Italian militaries, who use the protection of their settler population as an excuse to continuously occupy Algeria.
* ButtMonkey: The past two decades have certainly not been kind to France. It lost the war against Germany, its economy and military were crippled by the Reich, the eastern part of the country was given to Germany, Italy and the SS, Brittany was unilaterally given independence by Germany, and it is still plagued with rebels and German red tape. When Burgundy inevitably comes knocking, France has no chance to resist, and it will be reduced further to only the southern third of metropolitan France.
* CivilWar:
** If the French State's invasion of Brittany fails, what is left of France after the Franco-Burgundian war will fall into chaos as the resurgent Resistance and the Organisation Armée Secrète rise up against the government.
** If Reinhard Heydrich wins the German Civil War and subsequently [[spoiler:defeats Burgundy, the French State will have to fight the New French State (Nouvel État Français), led by the French SS-Charlemagne division which formerly collaborated with Burgundy, and seizes the territory annexed by Burgundy in the Franco-Burgundian War during the post-Heydrich collapse]].
* LesCollaborateurs: Metropolitan France is still ruled by the successors to Pétain's and Laval's government, headed by Jean-Louis Tixier-Vignancour.
* CurbStompBattle: The French State stands no chance against the joint Burgundian-Breton invasion right after the beginning of the German Civil War. France is put under heavy military and industrial restrictions from Germany and has only a few weak militia squads to protect themselves, while Burgundy has one of the strongest armies in the world, second only to the world's superpowers. The developers have even said that it is impossible to beat Burgundy (and Brittany) as France, because defeating Himmler so early would [[YouCantThwartStageOne throw everything into whack and break the game]].
* FactionSpecificEndings: The French State is a political mess, and can adopt almost every ideology in the game.
* VestigialEmpire: After World War II and the West Russian War, the French State lost large swathes of metropolitan France and all of their colonial empire except the city of Algiers. By 1962, France, once a mighty world power, is a borderline failed state, with a broken economy and no real army to speak of. Once Burgundy and Brittany invade, they lose even more of their territory, reducing them to southern metropolitan France. The most France can do to reclaim their lost territory is to invade and annex Brittany with the help of Speer's or Bormann's Germany.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: After Burgundy defeats France and conquers the rest of its northern half, the streets of Paris and the trains leaving for Bordeaux alike are chock full of Parisians desperate to flee the SS and forced to make a new life in the new French capital.

* LesCollaborateurs: Metropolitan France is still ruled by the successors to Pétain's and Laval's government, headed by Jean-Louis Tixier-Vignancour.
* CurbStompBattle: The French State stands no chance against the joint Burgundian-Breton invasion right after the beginning of the German Civil War. France is put under heavy military and industrial restrictions from Germany and has only a few weak militia squads to protect themselves, while Burgundy has one of the strongest armies in the world, second only to the world's superpowers. The developers have even said that it is impossible to beat Burgundy (and Brittany) as France, because defeating Himmler so early would [[YouCantThwartStageOne throw everything into whack and break the game]].
* FactionSpecificEndings: The French State is a political mess, and can adopt almost every ideology in the game.
* VestigialEmpire: After World War II and the West Russian War, the French State lost large swathes of metropolitan France and all of their colonial empire except the city of Algiers. By 1962, France, once a mighty world power, is a borderline failed state, with a broken economy and no real army to speak of. Once Burgundy and Brittany invade, they lose even more of their territory, reducing them to southern metropolitan France. The most France can do to reclaim their lost territory is to invade and annex Brittany with the help of Speer's or Bormann's Germany.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: After Burgundy defeats France and conquers the rest of its northern half, the streets of Paris and the trains leaving for Bordeaux alike are chock full of Parisians desperate to flee the SS and forced to make a new life in the new French capital.

->'''Party:''' Parti National
->'''Ideology:''' Despotism (Absolute Monarchy)
----
* DarkHorseVictory: As monarchism is not exactly popular in France, should Gaxotte be elected President of France, his victory is perceived as surprising by the international community.
* ShortLivedLeadership: As Gaxotte is a monarchist, if he wins the presidential election, he only temporarily takes charge of France before the Count of Paris could return to the throne as Henry VI.
