===France===
Descriptions of France in ''Aftermath'' and ''Triax and the NGR'' and ''Triax 2'' are inconsistent on a number of points; primarily regarding Paris and the significance of the Blood Druid threat. The former source indicates that Paris is a cosmopolitan settlement dominated by ogres, trolls, and goblins with some human and d-bee residents, while the NGR books state that it was a gargoyle roost that the combined NGR and CS forces bombed practically out of existence. The blood druids receive no attention in ''NGR 2'' while ''Aftermath'' describes them as chaos agents perched in a location near Geneva that enables them to engage all factions in the European theater. 

Potentially the most interesting location in France is described with less than a paragraph in ''Triax and the NGR''. The megalithic sites common to the region are said to have created a sort of ley line highway frequented by demons, and alien monsters. This could easily be parlayed into adventures based on evil or misguided spellcasters attempting to harness that power, a new alien race emerging en force from the "highway" during a celestial event, rediscovering ancient or alien technology that grants some control over the phenomenon, etc.

France is one of the larger regions in Europe, so there's a lot of potential to create custom material to fill it. That may not be the best direction to go for this particular game though.
