France, among history, has been a great country and in some ocasions, the very great country of its time... By the time of the 17th century, France was the leading country of Europe under the reign of Louis the 14th, and then, under the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte, who declared himself emperor of France, and settled France's domination over Europe ( a part from England, which was under total embargo from the continent). A big part of the political tensions between United States and France was the importance of Charles de Gaulle, general who then became president from 1958 to 1969. De Gaulle managed to make the french interests prevail on the international theater, quitting the OTAN military command or supporting arab countries at the beggining of the Near-East problems. France, today, suffers the crisis of being a "Close to the top country and not "The one". However, I'm french and i'm not frustated about my country not being the leader of the world. But a little thing remains pushing me to think that i'm french, a little better than the others. (but that's a pretty international feeling...)
As an sad example, Jean Marie le Pen, leader of the french nationalist party, uses symbols (such as speeches made on historical locations of the 1789's Revolution) to give his audience the rememberance of France's greatness and superiority (where, in his very own point of view, minorities were dealt with authority)

Get the Francemug. A country in Western Europe, that is most popular for its language, the Baguettes, and for surrendering.

Get the Francemug. Country of the 'ands-zin-zuh-haire people. (See statue of liberty)
The zenith of exquis fanaticism and arrogance (believers of French fine art crap should watch an hour of French national T.V.).
Since non-white people (immigrants) find no jobs, they become part-time athletes. From this pool, France finds very competitive representatives and does well in World Cups/Olympics. This representation of France provides an illusion of "fraternité". This brings and creates more deceived immigrants (->) leading to riots.
France is actively involved in spreading the "Francophonie" to developing countries. Few smell the churning evil.
Good things about France: education is free; people are always open to debate before consented rape; many Americans love the beauty (draped hypocrisy) of France which is always a good thing; even a short guy like Napoleon can pick up hundreds of chicks there; Celine Dion's wailing sounds better in French (yes, it was English); if there's a nice chick in a French film (and there usually is), she'll be nude by the end and you'll see a black guy saying her p**@ tastes like milk or some weirder stuff which in general is so artsy that you'd finding yourself bending over a la Francaise if you could fathom its depth.

France has enough bitches to buffer even the greatest of invaders.
"Mains, jupes et jambes en l'air" is in the heart of each and every French.

Get the Francemug. Socialist country led by Nicolas Sarkozy. France along with most of Europe has helped in the US led coalition on the fight against terror, known as the Global War on Terror. Prior to the invasion France had been subject to a number of terrorist attacks in the 80s and 90s.
France has the fifth largest GDP in the world, behind Germany(4), China(3), Japan(2), and the United States of America(1).
France was an ally to America during the American Revolutionary war(and is still an ally today). The Revolution was well received in France, whom believe the Revolution was the embodiment of the Enlightenment Spirit and a stand against English tyranny. France later sent over 6,000 troops in support of the Patriots.
Many Americans and other nationalities condemn the French as cowards,stating their surrender during WWII. However most Americans know France is an ally, an appreciate the help received during the Revolutionary War,Iraq, and the Statue of Liberty as a gift.
Along with the Statue of Liberty given to the Americans, France also has a smaller clone. Both the Statues face each other across the Atlantic, forever showing gratitude for the help received during the Revolutionary War, and serves as a reminder of the Alliance between them.

Get the Francesmug. If it is a girl named Frances, she will be the hottest babe you will ever meet, always smiling, really pretty, knows how to make you laugh, personality is incredible, full of surprises, very caring, always loyal, will basically be the coolest girl you meet. Rumor is she is awesome in bed and a huge flirt. Most guys will be way lucky to meet her but won't realize it until she is gone. Typically made fun of for her name but little does everyone know she has many secrets and is a total goddess.
