New State

From the ashes of the old world rises the morning star of the new.

The New State (French: Nouvel État) is a post-war country in western Europe, and the successor state to France. Risen from the rubble of the third French republic, the New State saw fervent nationalism as a dangerous source of violence and extremism, and sought to re-imagine what it meant to be a country without the constraints of national identity. Its capital is the purpose-built city of Centre, just west of Nevers.

Compared to most of the world after the end of the Great war, the New State shines as a beacon of safety, prosperity, and in their own words, "normalcy" in a broken and dangerous world. However, its future may not be as bright as it seems.

General information
The population of the New State in 1949 is around 32 million, which is less than that of France's pre-war population of around 40 million.

A large chunk of the eastern part of the country is covered by the Western European Deadzone, which mostly straddles the Seine river, and which includes the ruins of Paris. The Deadzone is a constantly present thorn in the side for the country, which struggles to deal with the post-war paranatural world.
