The people who lived in what would eventually become France were first known as Gauls, who invented the gaulbladder. Then, Romans, then, Franks. Today they are known as jerks (French: ''[[Jorkin' Depeanits|jerque]]'' /ʒɛʁk/).

In 1524, the production staff behind France decided to start a spin-off based in North America, despite the fact that there were already people there. This made them rightly angry, and still does, as it should. It was initially known as "Can-Do", possibly thanks to the "can-do" attitude of the colonists, though perhaps more accurately as a reflection of the "we can do what the fuck we want" attitude of the producers. However, the British decided to poke fun at the name, adopting a mock-French accent and pronouncing it "Canada". By the time it decided to break off from the direction of the French production staff in 1867, the name had stuck, and it set out to have the weirdest exports yet known to man, such as mediocre coffee, tree syrup, mooses (meese?), and apologising.
