Well, to this day the "allemands" keep calling us the kingdom of the Frank. Of course they have rule France from the moment it started to be France until just two centuries ago but since we were the first in our civilisation to get rid of kings and we have still for 150 years without major revolt, I believe that it may be time to update our name. You don't hear us keep calling the German "Prussians" don't you.

That's an interesting point. How would you prefer to be called?

Frankland would be fine. No one is denying the place of Frank in the History. But their is no "Reich" anymore.

Netherlands getting rid of their kings in 1581; England getting rid of their kings in 1649: ...

Sure both went back under constitutional rather than absolute monarchies later, but so did France, and Netherlands and England have gone 229 and 364 years without major revolt (excluding Ireland, but France couldn't claim 150 if they included Algeria)

I speak about major revolt against the monarchy. And yes, it's my point indeed that most of the other country get a king or some sort of monarch back. If your looking for absence of major revolt in France, we'll be out of the list for every year since 2019...

You're literally calling yourself France too...

Yeah, France, short form for République française not Royaume de France.
