What would a space opera setting be like where the dominant culture is derived from or based on France?

This. The French Prime Minister himself said there is no such thing as French culture so what would a space society based off nothing be?

That sounds rad actually.

Lots of revolutions in general - let no-one forget, they're on the Fifth Republic.

Also a really shiny Imperial Capital that hates everyone

Curated culture, where official organizations define what is and is not a part of the language and official culture. This promotes consistency of language and national ideal across planets, reducing local divergences.

Police have easy access to military grade hardware, and WILL use it if they think they need it.

get the context right faggot he said there was no such thing as French culture because unlike USA or Canada, France doens't have an uniformized culture where everyone dress and talk and eat the same thing, so no there is no such thing as French culture because there is alsacian culture, parisian culture, Britany culture, northern culture, southern culture, south west culture and many more

Do you at least remember how old it was? The only thing I can think of is Galaxy Express 999 and even that's a stretch.

There’s a difference?

Veeky Forums, please just fucking kill yourselves already

We don’t all talk the same or eat the same foods you AIDS riddled mong. Canada is more than Toronto and America is more than just New York city & Los Angeles.

An egualitarian republic, ultra nationalist, everyone wear some sort of baroque/rococo/napoleonic dress

Lots of colonies
Lots of drugs
Lots of philosophers
Also see Moebius, Metal Hurlant, and all the french comics from the sixties

>where official organizations define what is and is not a part of the language
Only a filthy anglo would consider this something that needs to be mentioned at all.

I guess nuance isnt your strong suit. Whats wrong? Not enough absolute declaritive statements to artificially constrain you into what seems like a mutually exclusive choice between two extremes?

I guess proper grammar isn’t yours....

Simple: A lot like AD2300

Gankutsuou was basically that.

And what language is it that you're using right now?

Also the adaptability and ease of creating and absorbing new words is pretty useful in this day and age

HON HON HON

Just go play 2300 AD. It's entire setting based on situation where France emerged as dominant world power after the events of Twilight 2000 (Cold War going hot and Americans and Soviets almost wiping each other out, along with most of their allies)

Pic related, but on a galactic scale

Gallente Federation from EVE Online is canonically descended from the French.

>>The Gallenteans. Self-righteous, meddling, pompous and tiresome, or virile liberalists and defenders of the free world. Love them or hate them, you simply can't ignore them. Everybody has an opinion on the Gallente Federation, it all depends from which side of the table you view them. For many, it is the Promised Land, where any dream can become a reality. Descendants of Tau Ceti Frenchmen, the Gallenteans remain strong believers in free will and human rights, despite numerous setbacks in their long history.

>France. Dominant world power.
I can only stretch my suspension of disbelief so far, desu...

Hahaha me ebin surrender maymay

Read a fucking book

>Gallente
FUCK YEAH

France was THE dominant Western power for hundreds of years. They occuppied England for over a century, which is why Modern English is basically half German and half French. The whole idea of them being weak and cowardly has only been prevalent since WWII.

That grammar was absolutely fine.

What about post-Revolutionary France under Space Napoleon.

What about revolutionary France under space Robespierre? Planet-buster bombs are guillotine of the future.

France was a top world power until less than 100 years ago. It held that spot for basically it's entire existence as a state since 486.

>They occupied England
I agree with your overall point, but the way you said it makes it sound like one nation invaded another, when it was really a feudal takeover by a Norman duke. You wouldn't say France occupied Sicily because some Norman adventurer became king there would you?

...

France was kicking just rich amounts of ass for centuries. They had a reputation as a very warlike and skilled people

My theory was that all the brave heroic Frenchmen died or emigrated, removing the flower of french courage from the gene pool

I'm a Minmatar fella myself, but I hold the Gallente in high esteem as our greatest allies in the fight against the enslavement of our tribesmen by the evil Amarri Empire and their lapdogs the Caldari. Long live the Federation! Long live the Republic!

Yeah fucking right.
It's the same bullshit statement put out by every other EU turd.
>there's no such thing as French culture it's all compartmentalized regional cultures
>which is why Muslim ghetto culture is just as french as everything else
>plz vote for me sandniggers and assorted shitskins

Then I suggest educating yourself. Remove Franco-Prussian War and WW2 from the picture and you have people that have been kicking ass and taking names all over the world for past 1400 years.

Plus, it takes no suspension of disbelief if you have Eastern Block bombed into smuttens, central Europe turned into a battlefield for almost a decade, China knocked out in the middle of war, Japan getting cut off from fuel due to destruction of its merchant marine and most refineries on the planet and US being busy with three-sided civil war.
France ironically wins by declaring full neutrality right before the war started, thus not getting bombed into shit and not having battles on its ground or invasions early on. And later on, there was barely anyone left to pull that invasion.
Plus, the game was written in '81. /pol/ memes about islamic state and niggers do not apply.

Why not both?.jpeg

They would be mysterious, giving select followers the Small, Pointy Pyramids of Power.
Some would be tongues.

>What about revolutionary France under space Robespierre?
It was pretty cool, as was the republic that followed.
Far better than the guys they replaced who were shit because of author fiat and nothing else.

There's a reason a lot of the language of land warfare is in French - just look at ranks, for a start

The sad part about people like you is that despite being this fucking ignorant, you really believe in the shit you create yourself for yourself.

You're stretching it pretty far already if you still believe propaganda created to support the war in Iraq.

>remove the biggest conflict in the history of mankind in which we got our asses handed to us
Sure thing, senpai

Or i'm fully aware of these cunt politicians tactics since they've been doing this exact same shit for the last 20 years in Europe and being insane enough to repeat them for short-term gains.
My own politicians pulled this bullshit years ago, with almost the same wording, all in a ploy to get Turks to vote for them as a bloc.
It hurt them far more in the end when everyone heard them berate our culture as non-existent yet somehow still "barbaric".
>b-but it's all something you made up
Neck yourself.

Are there a bunch of butthurt frogs on here or just one samefagging one?

Muslims in France has been a thing for over a millennia. Sure there was the Catholic dominance, but even after the Inquisition France as a colonial power incorporated many Muslim areas into its empire. It's just that now they're saying "Oops, we know we conquered you guys and made you French, but now we don't want you any more. Our bad."

Also considering how frothy their commitnent is to the separation of church and state is, even compared to the US, divisions of "Frenchness" bases on religion don't even satisfy their own internal logic.

>>"Et ses mains ourdiraient les entrailles du prêtre, / Au défaut d’un cordon pour étrangler les rois."

>Muslims in France has been a thing for over a millennia.
Sure they have user. I mean it's not like they forcibly expelled muslim invaders or anything and the first real big immigration of them started in the 1960s or anything.
>as a colonial power incorporated many Muslim areas into its empire.
And surprisingly that doesn't mean they were French or even welcome in France proper.
>It's just that now they're saying "Oops, we know we conquered you guys and made you French, but now we don't want you any more. Our bad."
Oh right, I forgot. We still live under White Man's Burden were Frenchmen are responsible for those poor inferiors in the colonies who have no responsibilities or land of their own.

I like this answer.

It's weird how "le surrender monkey meme" is so prevalent based on one conflict. It's as if everyone globally decided to start depicting the USA as surrender monkeys who can never win a fight because we pulled out of Vietnam.

Granted most of the fights we get into these days are largely unwinnable because it's less "punch that guy" and more "punch that guy and then punch that other guy until he promises to keep punching the first guy, then set up a neutral third-party guy to punch the second guy if you think he's pulling his punches, what do you mean none of them are cooperating with us anymore"

The White Man's Burden - Accepting responsibility for your actions and dealing with the consequences. Let us weep for the poor, oppressed white man, such tragic figures as they are.

And before you call me a PoC or a white apologist, I'm half Scotch-Irish/English Southern Baptist and half-NYC Ashkenazi Jew. I understand through experience both the perspective of a white man and the perspective of a minority. I'm a college-educated political-moderate with an IQ that places me in the top 3 most intelligent people out of a representative group of 1000.

White supremacists are highly-sensitive inferiority-complex-ridden quasi-intellectuals who rewrite the historical narrative to feed their own egos. If you've ever attended an actual college lecture for a history class, taught by actual experts, you will find that none of this White Man's Burden nonsense is actually supported. And if you believe that universities suffer liberal bias then consider that perhaps places dedicated to the truth simply attract more liberal-minded people, or that exposure to intellectual honesty produces such people. Also of extreme importance, I am close friends with a number of conservatives who are highly intelligent, completely sane, and not racist. This isn't reay a L vs. R issue, just one of hate vs. integrity.

We should just glass the entire desert desu.

American propaganda from the time when they refused to support the invasion of Iraq and Bush administration launched a massive attack on all things French.
Look it up, I'm not kidding with this.

>American propaganda from the time when they refused to support the invasion of Iraq and Bush administration launched a massive attack on all things French.
But the surrender-monkey meme existed in the USA prior to 1991?

I assume you meant the Bush invasion of Iraq in 1991, not the Bush invasion of Iraq in 2003.

>White man needs to take responisibility.
>White people are bad
>Oy vey, I'm jewish and experienced with both rich and poor
>let me speak as a white man and tell you white people how to behave

This has to be bait

>Accepting responsibility for your actions and dealing with the consequences.
Right, because the actions of our forefathers forefathers should mean we're to be punished by the cousins of the descendendants former roomates.
>such tragic figures as they are.
Well you and your kind do seem to desperately want to make them rootless creatures bereft of their countries.
>And before you call me a PoC or a white apologist
>and half-NYC Ashkenazi Jew.
Oh so you're basically the paragon of white guilting while pretending you're not part of the problem.
Under your own pissant paradigm the blood of Christ is upon you. Guess your ancestors deserved all those pogroms, eh?
>the perspective of a minority.
You're not a genuine minority, as much as ashkenazi jews like to pretend they are for goodie points.
>with an IQ that places me in the top 3 most intelligent people out of a representative group of 1000.
And yet you fall for pseudo-intellectual bullshit like the French having to give up their nation for reparatory gibs. Did you ascertain your IQ through an internet quiz?
>who rewrite the historical narrative
I'm not the one claiming that France, the nation that was identifiably 99% French until the 60s, always had a large muslim population because of colonialism.
>to feed their own egos.
Your entire post is basically ego-masturbation so that reads more like projection than anything.
>you will find that none of this White Man's Burden nonsense is actually supported.
And yet here you are, claiming they have to give up their country because of their white man's colonial burden.
>attract more liberal-minded people
Right, it has nothing to do with the university culture of the last 30 years.
>or that exposure to intellectual honesty produces such people.
Hah, there's nothing intellectually honest about you.

>The French Prime Minister himself
Who the guy who lost the elections?
Or some even more literealwho? else?

Pretty cool for about one hundred years and then four assholes write books that complete destroy it and the civilization it helped found.

>And before you call me a PoC or a white apologist, I'm American
Opinion about literally anything vaguely related to Europe, race or religion thrown to the thrash.

This reads like a very bad stereotype.
I genuinely hope no one is this deluded.

It existed, it was simply much, much less pronounced. You can't mention France without it coming up nowadays.

Do you think painting France as falling the moment someone touched them when USSR held off all German assaults and eventually fucked them up would be good for the public views of the Cold War era?

The more American media spread throughout the world, the less people knew about stuff like WW1, the more suspectible they became to this stuff.

...

>This has to be bait
Good job abon

I'm inclined to say bait, but this twat's going to derail the entire thing now.

Hmm, if the Space!British are really good at having a Space!Navy, what's the best way to represent the French's (generally) superior land forces and keep them relevant?
(also should there be other nations like Space!Spanish?)

Also a Space!FFL would be cool

Super radical input dog!

It was yet another trick of english historiography (the guys who brought us "Napoleon was an evil manlet). American revitalization of the meme was just the son walking the steps of the father.

Another thread, ruined by /pol/shit. Good job mods.

Huh, I had an idea for a space opera setting where the federation of earth was based in an alternate history where Napoleon had won his European portion of the Napoleonic wars and France had become the main cultural hegemony. I didn't get much further than that thought.

He's either the real deal or a very dedicated /pol/ak. The level of bullshitting there is uncanny.

>mods
Either this gets archived or moved to /pol/

Extremely snooty and violent.
Don't be fooled french people are all closeted mass murderers

Could just get the post torpedoed, that happens occasionally

This was basically over the second they brought in a real life people and the deathblow was struck when someone got baited by the comments about their PM.

Wheres le 56% meme?

See and

no you idiot, France went to the stars under the monarchy

well france also pulled out of vietnam so its not exactly something they can mock us for.

Are there a bunch of uneducated teenagers on here or just one samefagging one?

This, plus everything breaks due to the universal insistence on 1.5 hour (minimum, usually more) breaks for meals. Strikes are frequent, Which is probably the best fluff to actually work into universe.

Also, food is cheap, recreation is important, and like the other user said everyone has too much sex.

It's becauqe the French foreign affairs minister decided to call the US on their bullshit on Irak, which obviously didn't please the burgers. The US gvt put a huge propaganda machine to shame France and Americans jumped in it with both feet.

>Irak
Dude, a typo I can understand. Like Iraw or something, but k is typed with the other hand
