The People's Republic of Ye Olde France is a relativly large nation that resides in Aether Plains. It has been on the forefront of the region's political battles.

The Utopian Society of Ye Olde France is a massive nation that resides in the Newtonsouthica Region. It has been on the forefront of the Aether Plains' political battles and wars. It was the opposition party to Alomogordo's Dictatorial reign over the Aether Plains. Later, after it lost the presidentail election due to a rigged election in which pro-Ye Olde French nations were barred from voting, 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 its allies. Although the war was won, it came at the terrible cost of many nations being ejected to the rejected realms. This led to a massive death of most of Aether Plains' nations as their leaders lost interest and let their nations go to ruins. Ironically, Alomogordo and Ye Olde France alone remain to this day. The region was later abolished, with the two nations moving to equilism. After reviving the Aether Plains under the banner of the Aether Fields, Ye Olde France left to Newtonsouthica with a job well done
