Description
France is a good starting nation to play as because it is easy, because it is in such position that it is surrounded by allies, such as the UK, Spain, and Holland. It is also strong, so it can defeat enemies with its close allies. Russia may pose a threat, but not that much as it will be hard for Russia to even win in conquering it's first foreign faction as Britain, some other NATO nations (including France) and possibly the USA will send troops to defend the Russian target unless it is an enemy of the nations sending troops, but in other cases, Russia will easily be stopped. Mali, if it ever attempted to invade France, will have to make do with its small forces. Spain would defend France if the Malian forces (except the navy because it cant go outside the African mainland) went via Spain, but France anyways has a navy a lot stronger than Mali.
