Napoleon IV

Napoleon IV is the current emperor of France and controlled by DrDiddly.

Before the Empire
Before establishing his empire Napoleon IV was unknown the spotlight being taken by Petain. The first mention of a possible empire was when Petain spoke of a referendum on the monarchy, so this could be considered an early start to the empire. This was delayed after Petain's mysterious absence.

Establishing Something Grand
It was not long until Petain returned that the referendum occurred. It lasted a day and a Bonaparte restoration was the clear victor, shortly after Napoleon IV was crowned. He immediately postponed the planned elections and appointed Charles de Gaulle as Prime Minister. He was notable for his friendliness to Tsar Kyril and King Edward. Nothing much happened except de Gaulle's complaining.
