The trouble

The trouble with France is that it is full of French - so said the Anglo-Irishman Wellington once. Actually the trouble with the French is that too many admirals think they are Napoleon, too many capitaines think they are the admiral Guichet de Gascogne, too many sailors think they are the capitaine, and too many soldiers think they are sailors. And some aliens think they are French, like the rear-admiral self-appointed Chelsea Cheesle who is not even French. So despite being a self-proclaimed anglais-style republique, Venerabile France is full of ambition.
