[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/frenchresistance.png]]
->'''Ruling Party:''' Réseau Moulin[[note]]Moulin Network[[/note]]
->'''Ideology:''' Liberalism

* RealAfterAll: After the series of crackdowns done by Pétain to quash internal dissent, many believed that the French Resistance had faded into irrelevancy and become a mere myth. If the French Civil War happens, the Resistance turns out to be a tangible force all along.
* LaResistance: The Resistance has never stopped fighting the Vichy collaborationist regime since the fall of the Third Republic, and can rise up against them under various scenarios.
* YouCannotKillAnIdea: Despite decades of persecution, the idea of a France free of its shackles proves far too resilient to die.

!!''François Duprat''

->'''Role:''' Head of State
->'''Ruling Party:''' Groupes Nationalistes Révolutionnaires[[note]]Revolutionary Nationalist Groups[[/note]]
->'''Ideology:''' National Socialism
----
* MeetTheNewBoss: With his Germanophilia and fascist ideology, he's considered little different from Sidos before him. A newspaper event reaction even says this trope word-for-word.
* TheQuisling: He's Germany's favorite candidate to win the French Civil War due to his slavish admiration of the Reich.
* TheStarscream: If Sidos brings France to a ruinous civil war, Duprat betrays his former boss and starts his own faction in opposition to the loyalists.

[[folder:Milice Française]]

->'''Ruling Party:''' Milice Française[[note]]French Militia[[/note]]
->'''Ideology:''' Stratocratic Nazism[[note]]National Socialism[[/note]]

* TheCoup: If Bichelone's reforms prove too unpopular, the Milice will stage a coup to depose the President and instate a militant regime in its place.
* TheRemnant: The Milice inherit the legacy of Pétain, having served the him and the Vichy government since its inception.
* StateSec: They were one of the Vichy government's earliest attempts at building a paramilitary organization and have remained active since. If they win the French Civil War, news breaks out of them committing violence against liberals and other reformists.

!!''Joseph Darnand''

->'''Role:''' Head of State
->'''Party:''' Milice Française[[note]]French Militia[[/note]]
->'''Ideology:''' Stratocratic Nazism[[note]]National Socialism[[/note]]
----
* EvilReactionary: One of the most reactionary individuals in France, who poses an obstacle to reformists. As he states in a public speech after couping Bichelonne, Darnand vows to emphasize the cultural values of "Labor, Family, and Fatherland".

[[folder:Mouvement de Réconciliation Nationale]]
->'''Official Name:''' Mouvement de Réconciliation Nationale[[note]]Movement for National Reconciliation[[/note]], French State (Civil War victory)
->'''Ruling Party:''' PRN

->'''Role:''' Head of State
->'''Party:''' PRN
->'''Ideology:''' Civilian Dictatorship[[note]]Despotism[[/note]]
----
* TheCharmer: His sudden rise to power can be attributed to his sharp tongue. Using "anti-extremist" rhetoric, Sauge builds a massive support base of moderates for himself, which he can use to instill Catholic traditions to France and hold on to power.
* TheSpook: Sauge seemingly appears out of nowhere and moves to take the presidency for himself. His background is mysterious to everyone around him, but some accept him as their leader anyway.
* VoluntaryVassal: Sauge willfully turns France into an Italian puppet state, joining their sphere in the process.

[[folder:Organisation Armée Secrète]]

->'''Official Name:''' Organisation Armée Secrète[[note]]Secret Armed Orgnization[[/note]]
->'''Ruling Party:''' Commandement Militaire Provisoire[[note]]Provisional Military Command[[/note]]
->'''Ideology:''' Fascism

* TheCoup: Tired of Pinay's reformist agenda, the OAS may lead a putsch to force the President's premature resignation.
* DefectorFromDecadence: Their ranks are filled with those who cut ties with the Milice for one reason or another.
* EliteArmy: They're one of the most professional and well-equipped sides of the French Civil War, giving them a critical advantage over their rivals.
* RenegadeSplinterFaction: There are various ways for the nationalist soldiers of the OAS to mutiny against the French State's government.
* SecretPolice: The OAS acts as the unofficial secret police organization of the French State, performing "counter-terrorist" operations against the Rench Resistance.
* TheStarscream: As of late, the OAS has grown bolder and openly defiant of the central government, fueling fears about a mutiny from them. These worries are validated in multiple paths where they can coup or depose the government.
!!''Raoul Salan''

* EvilReactionary: He opposes the liberal agenda of Pinay and may coup him, if he loses enough patience.
* ExpyCoexistence: Salan has similarities to Ferdinand Schörner due to the fact that they can both betray their leader and take power.
* TyrantTakesTheHelm: After overthrowing Pinay, Salan reinstates dictatorship back to France, sending the police to crack down on internal opposition.
* {{Warhawk}}: Once he wins the French Civil War, Salan proclaims the need to reclaim "rightfully French territory" and begins ramping up military preparation for his grim purposes.

[[folder:French Revolutionaries]]

->'''Ideology:''' Revolutionary Front[[note]]Socialism[[/note]]

* ChummyCommies: They are a loose group of communist, socialist, and anarchist factions who fight for a liberated France from Sidos' reactionary dictatorship.
* DarkHorseVictory: Everyone is incredulous of the Revolutionaries winning the French Civil War, especially as they are surrounded by hostile superpowers from all sides.
* YoungAndInCharge: As can be expected from student movements, the Revolutionaries' leader and generals are some of the youngest people in TNO.

* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: In-universe. In OTL, Pétain has largely been condemned as a traitorous sellout to the Nazis, which overshadows all of the achievements he did in his lifetime. Since the Axis won in this timeline, Pétain's reputation was salvaged as the only "good" leader the Vichy regime has had and the government's still trying to exploit his image to legitimize themselves, even though he's been dead for years.

->'''In-Game Biography''' [[labelnote: Click to Show]] In his ascension to Presidency, Jean-Louis Tixier-Vignancour is the quintessential representation of the current catastrophic deadlock the French State finds itself in. Elected to the long-defunct National Assembly of the Third Republic in 1936 and the subsequent French State, he is as loved as he is hated in the spheres of French Politics.\\\

Vignancour himself knows that the peace in Europe is tenuous, and once broken - France may well burn once more [[/labelnote]]

->'''Role:''' Military Commander, Security Minister (Tixier-Vignancour cabinet), Head of State (Tixier-Vignancour succession)

->'''In-Game Biography''' [[labelnote: Click to Show]] Charles Huntziger has served France for many years. He served as a general in both World Wars, and he was one of Petain's original cabinet members. As Petain forged an armistice, he appointed Huntziger to lead the French side of the negotiations, although Huntziger was unsuccessful in lessening the Treaty of Vichy's harsh conditions. Huntziger served as commander-in-chief of the French land forces and as Minister of Defense for twenty years.\\\

Tixier-Vignancour fled the nation, his destination unknown. Huntziger was made temporary Head of State, a half-hearted attempt to callback to the glory of the Maréchal. Huntziger feels no glory in his promotion, he feels no legitimacy. The old man has placed France's future in the hands of the Assemblée, in hopes that his successor may be able to restore some hope in France's future. [[/labelnote]]

->'''In-Game Biography''' [[labelnote: Click to Show]] If any person can bear the unfortunate task of representing the current devastation of France, it is Pierre Poujade. Steadily climbing the pillars of power in the chaos of the 1950's, he secured the Prime Ministership after Vignancour's successful bid for President. Enjoying his newfound position of power, Poujade was hopeful for a slow, careful political career. Of course, that all changed when Europe was once more thrown into utter mayhem.\\\

Should he fail to keep these rotten forces at bay, the French State as he knows it may very well cease to exist. Should he succeed, however it will finally begin to emerge from the ashes of oppression. [[/labelnote]]

->'''Party:''' Parti Populaire Français[[note]]French Popular Party[[/note]]

->'''In-Game Biography''' [[labelnote: Click to Show]] The descendent of a long line of French soldiers and nationalists, Pierre Sidos has always been at the forefront of the traditionalist and hardliner wings of French politics. Losing both his father and his brothers in the Second World War, Pierre stands out in the scene of nationalism in being a stern pacifist.\\\

A passionate speaker, able to easily sway crowds with his intricate knowledge of expressions and mannerisms, he quickly rose the ranks. Becoming the head of the Parti Populaire Français, he led the party to become the flagship nationalist and most German-friendly party in France.\nFollowing the Franco-Burgundinian war and the ensuing chaos, Sidos finally found his chance to strike. Securing the Presidency, he now bears his responsibility - the completion of the Révolution Nationale - to extinguish the weak democracy of France, to promote a Europe that is united in brothership (including with the Germans), and finally, to return to the fundamental values which founded the French State.

->'''In-Game Biography''' [[labelnote: Click to Show]] Brave men carry the torch of liberty even when to do so is hard. Braver men still craft this torch from the ashes of oppression - and Antoine Pinay is one such man.\\\

Regardless of all of the obstacles he faces, Pinay will never give up hope on his dream: a new France, free, fair and democratic. In the end, he seeks nothing less than the restoration of the French Republic - and he will go through any steps necessary to ensure that Democracy will triumph. [[/labelnote]]

->'''In-Game Biography''' [[labelnote: Click to Show]] The goal of a country must be of continued self improvement - the steady march of progress, development, and strength. Jean Bichelonne sees this as his motto; a devout technocrat, he has been deeply involved in the French State and its economy ever since the end of the Second World War.\\\

Cold and calculating, members of the Parti National frequently describe him as "an exceptional mathematician lost in politics". Stubborn in his ideals of a France free from German meddling, he shows no sign of compromise in his relentless criticism of the Reich, usually to the dismay of those who wish to try to find an agreeable path forward with him. Certainly not a politician, his consistent inability to compromise and negotiate makes the road to his plans difficult, but he does not let that stop him. Foreseeing a utopic plan of industrialization, development, modernization, Bichelonne possesses a decisive will to put France back on the list of some of the most developed nations in the world. An optimistic plan, yes, but he will let nothing get in his way of a truly modern France on the world stage. [[/labelnote]]

->'''In-Game Biography''' [[labelnote: Click to Show]] Among most politically aware French men and women, few would have expected Pierre Gaxotte to have risen to the top of the political ladder to become their President. An academic historian by trade and journalist by inclination, Gaxotte has made his monarchist and militaristic sympathies apparent in his writing. Even with the fall of the French Republic, his critical work on the French Revolution continues to inspire the reactionary and oligarchical upper class of the French State.\\\
An underling of the far-right political theorist Charles Maurass, he has kept his mentor's party, Action Française, from collapsing following his death. Seeking to return the Bourbon dynasty of the pre-Revolution monarchy back to the throne and highly critical of Pétain's rule, Gaxotte has remained a relatively minor force in French politics. Now, as its President, he intends to use his power to revive monarchism in France, regardless of what its people think. Backed by the forces of reaction, Gaxotte intends to crush what remains of France's revolutionary spirit. [[/labelnote]]

!! Democratically Elected Presidents

[[folder:François Mitterrand]]
[[quoteright:156:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/portrait_france_francois_mitterand.png]]
->'''Role:''' Head of State (Post-Pinay elections)
->'''Party:''' Parti Travailliste Français[[note]]French Labour Party[[/note]]
->'''Ideology:''' Democratic Socialism[[note]]Progressivism[[/note]]

* ContemptCrossfire: Mitterrand is disliked by right-wing politicians for his social democratic beliefs, while left-wing politicians criticize his collaboration with the Vichy regime.
* ForWantOfANail: His work within the Vichy government can paradoxically bring him to the halls of power much earlier than in OTL.
* InternalReformist: Despite his connections to the Vichy government, Mitterrand nonetheless espouses the need for unionism and social justice. He can finally act on these ideals if Pinay successfully democratizes and opens free elections.

[[folder:Camille Laurens]]
[[quoteright:156:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/portrait_france_camille_laurens.png]]
->'''Role:''' Head of State (Post-Pinay elections)
->'''Party:''' Rassemblement pour la Nation[[note]]Rally for the Nation[[/note]]
->'''Ideology:''' Christian Democracy[[note]]Liberal Conservatism[[/note]]

* BoringButPractical: Laurens pursues a relatively moderate, Christian-democratic agenda, an uncontroversial plan that can nonetheless usher in a new age of economic prosperity.
* DarkHorseVictory: The victory of Laurens and the RPN in the 1970 election is described as surprising, as most consider them a smaller and similarly conservative party to the more prominent PN.

[[folder:Edmond Giscard d'Estaing]]
[[quoteright:156:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/portrait_france_edmond_giscard_d_estaing.png]]
->'''Role:''' Head of State (Post-Pinay elections)
->'''Party:''' Union pour la Démocratie Française[[note]]Union for French Democracy[[/note]]
->'''Ideology:''' Classical Liberalism[[note]]Liberalism[[/note]]

* GoodOldWays: Giscard can be elected and restore the old republican values that defined France before World War II.
* LaResistance: Unlike most politicians in the French State, Giscard is closely associated with the French Resistance.
* ThrowTheDogABone: After decades of hardship and ruthless suppression by the Vichy regime, Giscard can come to power and reignite the democratic values of the French Third Republic if Pinay holds successful elections.

!! Monarchist Prime Ministers

[[folder:Olivier Guichard]]
[[quoteright:156:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/portrait_france_olivier_guichard.png]]
->'''Role:''' Head of State (Monarchist Election), Head of Government (Guichard cabinet)
->'''Ideology:''' Paternalistic Conservatism[[note]]Conservatism[[/note]]
----
* HitlerAteSugar: Many reactionaries accuse Guichard of having secret ties with the French Resistance and exiled Abidjan government, even though Guichard is well-known for his political neutrality.
* InternalReformist: Guichard is not a die-hard monarchist, and belongs to the small reformist faction within the AF.

[[folder:Jean d'Ormesson]]
[[quoteright:156:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/portrait_france_jean_dormesson.png]]
->'''Role:''' Foreign Minister (Henry VI cabinet), Head of State (Monarchist Election), Head of Government (d'Ormesson cabinet)
->'''Ideology:''' Semi-Constitutional Monarchy[[note]]Paternalism[[/note]]

* BoringButPractical: D'Ormesson represents a middle ground between Guichard's reformism and Pujo's reactionism, which he sees as the optimal solution to stabilizing the monarchy after their failed referendum.
* NostalgiaFilter: Many geopolitical observers liken d'Ormesson's policies to the Doctrinaires of the old Kingdom of France, which influences his conservative direction for the country.
* RichardNixonTheUsedCarSalesman: D'Ormesson was descended from an aristocratic family and expressed right-wing views in real life but was never really involved in politics, being known mostly as a writer and journalist. Here, he can become Prime Minister of France under King Henri VII if the monarchy is restored and survives.

[[folder:Pierre Pujo]]

->'''Role:''' Head of Government (Henry VI cabinet), Head of State (Monarchist Election)
->'''Ideology:''' Absolute Monarchy[[note]]Despotism[[/note]], Aristocratic Conservatism[[note]]Despotism[[/note]] (Monarchist Election)

* LikeFatherLikeSon: Pierre Pujo is most directly inspired by Action Française's co-founders, Charles Maurras and his own father Maurice Pujo, and is the most conservative potential Prime Minster of the Kingdom of France, advocating for a nationalist, pseudo-feudal transformation of France.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Given Henri VII's unabashed reformism, it remains to be seen what the relationship will be like for Pujo and the King. The newspaper event detailing Pujo's election imply that it won't be a smooth one.

->'''Role:''' Head of State (Post-reclamation elections)

->'''In-Game Biography''' [[labelnote: Click to Show]] The most popular man in Free France is undoubtedly Charles De Gaulle, for obvious reasons. However, second place would most likely go to Pierre Mendès France.\\\

Mendès France represents both a strong commitment to socialism in a deeply conservative country, and to a moral compass that has never been put aside.
[[/labelnote]]

->'''In-Game Biography''' [[labelnote: Click to Show]] With the liberation of France now complete, the difficult task of rebuilding the country has now fallen into the hands of Jean Lecanuet.\\\

Though an adherent of the basic ideals of the Resistance, Lecanuet denounced Charles de Gaulle as excessively dictatorial in his methods. Rather than adhering to Gaullism the way Chaban-Delmas did, he prefers economic liberalism and the construction of a welfare-reinforced market economy. His task will be difficult, but he will not fail or falter in its execution.

->'''Role:''' Head of Government (de Gaulle cabinet), Head of State (Post-reclamation elections or de Gaulle succession)

->'''In-Game Biography''' [[labelnote: Click to Show]] With the liberation of France now complete, the difficult task of rebuilding the country and bringing the ideals of Charles de Gaulle to fruition has now fallen into the hands of Jacques Chaban-Delmas.\\\

Yet that is not Chaban-Delmas' only credential, far from it: a first-call Résistant who joined in 1940, he infiltrated the National Production Ministry of Vichy as a cover. When that cover was blown, he managed to slip away and join De Gaulle in London. Since then, Chaban-Delmas has followed the Général's notion of Libération, adding a personal touch: social progressiveness and reforms. That is the program that he will implement at the helm of the nation, and he will not rest until he succeeds.
