The thing is, Orleanist France grants you a couple of war goals and enough stability to stay above 80% for the entire game, making it perfect for, say, a more defensive France playthrough. If you really want something borderline useless, try going for the "Légitimiste" path instead. You're guaranteed a war with Spain if the carlists don't win (which they never really do),then you either get them as a puppet or you have to wait for AI Spain to core all of it's lands back if you don't want it as "occupied territory" once you annex them through "Unite the crowns" and you don't get anything outside of that. Fun !

ISP, if you want to do the French Union, I admise you to liberate all your occupied African territories as puppets before doing the focus. Like that, if you win, they'll gonna be annexed, and if you lose, they stay your puppets. (idk if you can liberate countries as puppets if you're the French Commune, but I did this with the democratic France and it worked perfectly)

4:13 In all fairness, that portrait/character is a somewhat recent addition, added around the time they released NSB because while they were researching Soviet politics for that DLC they realized that it actually didn't make a lot of sense to have a staunch supporter of the Soviet Union (Maurice Thorez, who was supported by Stalin) go against the Stalin line and so drew up René Nicod who was noted for being vehemently against the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. Also, making the constituent parts of the UK revolt, while probably not the most optimal way to play, is definitely one of the funnier things you can do as France, right up there with turning Germany into a mass of squabbling states as Napoléon.
