north america, perhaps. i.e; canada. as far as the states go, france has nothing on england in terms of "parenting." yes, there are areas of the south east that are firmly afixed with a taste of french culture, however the english dominance on the country is more than apparent.

even still, if you want to contend that france helped birth the states, what type of horrible parental figure is it now?
