I've said it before, but here's how it should be implemented.
>if you play as "France", you are always France; what changes is the version of France in history you are atm
>in Ancient era, you are Gallic France (bonuses to undeveloped wilderness)
>in Medieval Era, you choose between Norman France (militaristic but defensive, castle emphasis), Burgundian France (merchentile), or Bourbon France (cultural but with a religious emphasis); all three of them benefit from feudal economics and rapidly developing all the previously undeveloped land from the Gallic era
>in the Modern era, you choose between Napoleonic France (shitting out massed infantry), Republican France (defensive, Maginot line tactics; like in the previous Norman era), or Royalist France (shitting out cultural works and wonders, maybe at the expense of everything else); all three get bonuses to artillery.
>you're always France but the kind of France you wish to play as is up to your gameplay needs and overall build
The argument is "what about Africa?", and the answer is "who cares?"
