France and NATO

[raketenjagdpanzer]

IMC France doesn't go full neutral or gobble up poor Belgium; rather, they look at Germany's drive into Poland and then USSR and say non while still providing at least some logistical support to the NATO effort. Then when Paris, le Harvre and a few other cities buy it, they declare an internal emergency; their Algerian population basically pulls the same thing that "Free America" did and with a "continuity of Government" crisis also similar to what the US undergoes, they close their borders and focus solely on internal issues. Belgium doesn't suffer being turned into a "Zone of Death" but at the same time is so subjected to nuclear attack it would be redundant anyway.

All the French can do by 1999 is shake their heads and say bon chance to their NATO allies as they try to get back on their feet.
