In shape it resembles a hexagon of which the sides are: (1) From Dunkirk to Point St-Matthieu (sands and dunes from Dunkirk to the mouth of the Somme; cliffs, called falaises Christianity Revolution , is responsible for the present purely arbitrary divisions of the soil, known as "departments". Contemporary geography is glad to avail itself of the old names and the old divisions into "countries" and "provinces" which more nearly correspond to the geographical formations as well as the natural peculiarities of the various regions. "Massif Central" (the Central Plateau), a rugged land inhabited by a stubborn race that is often glad to leave its fastness, and those lands of comfort that lie along the great Northern Plain, the valley of the Loire, and the fertile basin in which Paris stands. But in spite of this variety, France is a unit. These regions, so unlike and so diversified, balance and complete each other like the limbs of a living body. As Michelet puts it, "France is a person." STATISTICS In 1901, France had 31,031,000 inhabitants. The census no longer inquires as to the religion of French citizens, and it is only by way of approximation that we can compute the number of Catholics at 38 millions;

Nevertheless, France today is one of the most modern countries in the world and is a leader among European nations. Since 1958, it has constructed a presidential democracy resistant to the instabilities experienced in earlier parliamentary democracies. In recent years, its reconciliation and cooperation with Germany have proved central to the economic integration of Europe, including the introduction of the euro in January 2002. At present, France is at the forefront of European states seeking to exploit the momentum of monetary union to advance the creation of a more unified and capable European defense and security apparatus.

Extractions: History: After the disintegration of the Roman Empire in the fifth century, Gaul was settled by Germanic peoples from the east. After the collapse of the Visigothic Merovingian kingdom, Gaul in the eighth and ninth centuries became the heart of Charlemagnes Frankish empire, which stretched from the Pyrénées to the Baltic. During the following centuries, the area under the control of the French kings gradually increased, although it was not until the reign of Louis VI (1108-37) that royal authority became more than an empty theory in some parts of France, whose rulers were vassals in name only. Among the most powerful of these were the Dukes of Normandy who had, by the mid-12th century, acquired England and western France. In 1328, however, the direct line of the Capetian royal house became extinct: one of the claimants to the throne was Edward III of England. The resulting intermittent conflict, known as the Hundred Years War, was not resolved until the final English defeat in 1453. The period of French recovery is associated with the reign of the astute Louis XI (1460-83): by the time of his death the area of France was much as it is today. During the late 15th and 16th centuries, France was again distracted by foreign adventures, including the Italian Wars and several other grandiose pan-European schemes initiated by François I, and internal troubles (the Wars of Religion). This latter conflict was ended by the accession of the gifted Henry IV, a Protestant-turned-Catholic. Henry was assassinated in 1610, but his work of building up the power of the French state was continued under the administrations firstly of Cardinals Richelieu and Mazarin and subsequently the long reign of the Sun King, Louis XIV (1643-1715), by which time the country had replaced Spain as the major European power.

The Agency, which was created in February, is charged with ensuring the success of the e-government drive a project which was launched in 1997 but is still very much in the starting blocks. In a cabinet meeting yesterday, the Secretary of State for State Reform, Henri Plagnol, detailed the developments to come in "e-administration". The central idea behind the initiative is to "move from an anonymised approach to an individualised approach, centred on the needs of each user, under the control and within the framework of a privileged relationship with the public services", Plagnol said. Plagnol also said the two objectives that had been set for the project are to "bring the IT systems of different administrations closer together and make them interoperable" and "drive and oversee concrete projects across departments".

Extractions: System of Government About France Index All authority in France stems from the people through a system of democratic elections. There are four tiers of territorial administration the State, the Region, the Department and the Municipality. The present system of government in France is based on the Constitution of the Fifth Republic which was adopted by referendum on September 28, 1958, together with its subsequent amendments. In France, the functions of Head of State and Head of Government are carried out by separate individuals. The Fifth Republic, established by the Constitution of 1958, strengthened the power of the executive (the President of the Republic and the government) and ensured that each legislature had a clear political majority, thus putting an end to the instability of the previous regimes. Despite vehement initial opposition from the left, the 1958 Constitution eventually gained fairly wide acceptance, very probably largely because it has allowed changeovers of political power and "cohabitation" between a president and government from different sides of the political spectrum. The need for the head of State to derive his/her legitimacy from the sovereignty of the people led General de Gaulle to propose a key reform of the 1958 text: the election of the President by direct universal suffrage, which was introduced by constitutional amendment in 1962. The Constitution of 4 October 1958 had provided for the election of the President of the Republic by indirect universal suffrage by an electoral college comprising the members of Parliament and various representatives of local elected officials. General de Gaulle was elected president under this system in 1958 before being re-elected by direct universal suffrage in 1965. The new procedure broke with the tradition of more than a century which, in the name of the supremacy of Parliament, had prohibited the head of State from being directly elected by the people. It has contributed to strengthening the executive, envisaged ever since 1958 as the cornerstone of the new institutions. Moreover, constitutional practice was to confirm the supremacy of the executive.

But in pain and fatigued, she had to be whisked by ambulance from the courtroom to a hospital for injections of morphine and cortisone. "This trial has destroyed me, has destroyed my family, my child," said the tearful 35-year-old woman from Lorraine in eastern France . "The ministers knew as early as 1983they knew, but they chose to favor French industry, the prestige of France, and they let human beings be killed. That I cannot forgive." Tuesday morning, in a building near the Arc de Triomphe usually used for diplomatic gatherings, a trial unparalleled in the annals of postwar France began. A former prime minister, Laurent Fabius, and two members of his 1984-86 government are charged with manslaughterwhile in office they allegedly worried more about commerce than the risks of the then-mysterious phenomenon called AIDS. The former Socialist officials, whose political careers have been damaged or ruined because of the scandal, are specifically on trial because blood and blood-based products contaminated with the AIDS virus were transfused into seven people in 1985. Five are now dead, including a baby who was born HIV-positive.
