France, officially known as the French Republic ('''French:''' ''République française''), and its predecessors. For those who don't know, France is a Romance country in Western UsefulNotes/{{Europe}}, with non-Romance linguistic minorities living on the borders: Celtic Brittany, Allemanic Alsace and Lorraine (and a few other pockets), and some Basques in the extreme southwest (Iparralde). The name "France" comes from the Germanic Franks, who ruled the region formerly known to the Romans as Gallia ("Gaul" was, despite popular belief, not what Romans called the region), but the people living there were not, for the most part, ever Germans. Religiously speaking, a little over half the population regards itself as Catholics of some stripe, with the non-religious being the next largest group, and Muslims, Protestants, Jews, Buddhists, and all the others making up the rest. Keep in mind though, that since French law forbids ethnic or religious censuses, any figures bandied about are based on opinion studies and their results can vary wildly depending on the criteria − some studies put non-religious people as the majority, notably.
