France (Louisiana Revolution)

The First French Empire (also referred to as The Empire of France, France and The Empire of Napoleon) is a powerful nation situated in western and central Europe and founded in 1804 by Napoleon I. It extends as far east as Prussia in the north, and a bit east of the Rhine in the south, while having a foothold in the Iberian Peninsula.

After Napoleon's rise to power a few years prior to 1804, he began seizing tighter control over the French Republic until he had both the power and support to become Emperor of the French. While France is governed by a single Emperor and a small group of delegates, the nation is very tolerant and is by no means a dictatorship. In fact, the French Empire was a leader in civil rights movements throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.
