!! Chairman (2012)

!! President of the Federation (2012)

The current President is a moderate Jacobin, Jean-Pierre is one of the most senior opponents of the status quo in the Federation.

* BreadAndCircuses: The high standard of living is what makes most citizens ignore the problems of the Commune. However, no one can say how long the French will be able to tolerate the status quo.

* NumberTwo: Blot is Mégret's closest ally, having gained the post of Prime Minister because of his proximity to Mégret.

* AllohistoricalAllusion:
** The 1978 Constitution drafted by Poujade in this timeline is based on [[https://mjp.univ-perp.fr/france/co1944p.htm the proposed 1944 constitution that was rejected by the government of Vichy France.]]
** The internal factions of the National Party are split along the same lines as the French new right in our timeline, down to the division over Corporatism or Neoliberal economics, France's participation in a wider European economic market, and ideological presentation.
** Depending on who wins the 2018
* BreadAndCircuses: France's economic prosperity brought about by the reforms made during the 90s has drastically increased living standards, allowing the Parti National to maintain its comfortable position in power.
* CrapsaccharineWorld: France is a relatively stable and prosperous country for European standards, with a limited, but burgeoning democratic process capable of propelling it out of authoritarianism given the right circumstances. Beneath the surface of this supposedly evolving nation lies a pyramid of social inequality, a general sense of hopelessness and apathy in the citizenry, and an alienated leadership that continues to be a source of frustration to those who actually want a better France.
* EqualOpportunityEvil: Despite being a Fascist-aligned semi-authoritarian regime, France has a decent track record when it comes to woman's rights compared to the rest of Europe. Most Pétainist-era misogynistic laws have been undone, and women are allowed to vote on enter politics so long as they are the head of the household.
* PeoplesRepublicOfTyranny: France seems like a regular democracy on the surface - it has elections, a judiciary, a working legislature, freedom of assembly and term limits. In reality, the system has loopholes designed to allow the state to infringe on political freedoms when it is threatened, and the average citizen has no real say on what happens in government beyond the local level.
* PermanentElectedOfficial: French Presidents stay in power for a ridiculously long time, and there has never been a case of a President being impeached or voted out by the National Assembly, who always go on to rubber-stamp their next ten-year terms regardless of any opposition. The only instance where a President leaves office is when he dies, resigns, or serves two full ten-year terms.
* PragmaticVillainy: The French government allows citizens to protest and express their dissatisfaction with the regime, or even lets them vote on controversial laws through referendums. This isn't done out of a respect for public discontent, but because the government would rather have them to do this than to take up arms against the regime.
* WesternTerrorists: While the original Resistance groups of the Second World War have long been extinguished, some minor offshoots are still active in southern France, turning to bombings and assassinations to terrorize the French government and supporters of L'etat.

!! President of the Republic (2012-2018)

->'''Role:''' President
->'''Party:''' Parti National - Club de l'Horloge[[note]]National Party - The Clock Club[[/note]]
->'''Ideology:''' Sindicalism[[note]]Paternalism[[/note]]
The unpopular President of France, Mégret's reforms brought about a period of prosperity and stability for France at the cost of further approximation to the German bloc. Despite his service to France, the people have responded with general apathy, while increasing opposition in the National Assembly threatens his grip on power. Should France's prosperity come to a full stop, Mégret will find that his second term may end with a rude awakening.

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: The people of France are largely indifferent to Mégret, and he isn't popular in government neither. When Die Turbulenzen hits, this apathy turns into outright contempt.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: He doesn't understand why he is so unpopular, given how much he has done to bring France out of stagnation and instability over the last two decades.
* InternalReformist: Since his rise to the Presidency in 1998, Mégret has reformed France's economy out of stagnation and brought through the Nouvelle Économie Française[[note]]New French Economy[[/note]] policy, applying Neoclassical economics to France.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Despite having hardline Fascists within his close ideological circle, Mégret remains one of the more moderate voices within the National Party, and his more lenient form of governance reflects this.
