Utopian Society of Ye Olde France is a large nation that resides in the UCR. It has been on the forefront of the Aether Plains's political battles. It was the opposition party to Alomogordo's Dictatorial reign over the Aether Plains. Later, after it lost the presidentail election due to a rigging, Ye Olde France accepted to increase executive power to the same nation it fought so far in order to halt an invasion by Canadastania and it's allies. Although the war was won, it came at the terrible cost of many nations being ejected to the rejected realms. Alomogordo Siezed power over the region and might still have it today. Ye Olde France was founded in November 2004. The government is socialist.
