Economic crisis: France: 1 - Rest of the world: 0

[SwordsMaster]

So the french win. Again. They already have lower heart failure and obesity rates, nicer beaches, nicer women with sexier accents, and nicer food and wine, and now also they are also ahead by what they do not have: an economic crisis.

Unlike Britain, the US and many other countries, France appears to be weathering the credit crunch storm in reasonable shape.

Considering France is the world's 6th economy, with the 1st, 3rd, and 5th rapidly crumbling, and the second treading very carefully, France's 1% growth doesn't sound so terrible, and her secret plan for world domination might just succeed. If Russia doesn't invade someone else, that is. But it probably won't be France.
