## Scenarios

### Europe - 1938

France is indeed a significant nation in this scenario, encompassing 5,754 pixels and ranking as the second-largest in size, surpassed only by the Soviet Union. Its advantageous geographical position, with a capital situated in a superior location compared to neighboring nations, grants it a defensive advantage. The southern border, characterized by hills and mountains, further enhances its defensibility and potential for early expansion.

However, it is crucial to consider the potential threat posed by Germany, particularly if they manage to conquer the Benelux countries. Given Germany's distant capital and the absence of natural barriers, the French capital becomes vulnerable to a swift German advance.
