French Authority

The French Authority is a state in Africa and a member of the Toronto Accord.

History
When the German defeated France in 1940 and created the French State under Philippe Petain, not all of the French surrendered. Fleeing the continent to continue the fight with the hope of one day liberating France from the Gestapo.

Politics
The French Authority is dependent upon British support as they themselves have virtually no industry to speak of. This comes at the price of Westminster having a large amount of control over the French government.

Military
The French Authority has only a tiny army made up of only a handful of garrisons, consisting of mostly native units and French exiles that defected from the mainland after the Armistice. It is dependent on British equipment in order to function.
