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?

You're literally calling yourself France too...

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