Since 1789 AD, Gallia's foreign policy has mainly been defined as fighting the Republic of France intermittently, with very little attention given to much else in the world aside from remaining on speaking terms with Britannia, formerly the Germanic states and now Germania and Austria, Italia, Hispania, and Russia. Gallia is commonly viewed by Second-Rate Powers and Minor Powers as the most cultured country. Most people prefer Gallia, with its more stable system of a constitutional monarchy, to be superior to the radical French republic.
