Merge France & Free France?

[enigma_]

Using a La Resistance intelligence mission, I was able to launch a coup in North Africa against Vichy France that was ultimately successful however I have now THREE French states inclusive of Vichy France.

Is there a way to merge Free France with coup-created democracy “France” in the game?

I am afraid not, you seem to have broken the game. Sorry.

Won't they all merge once Vichy capitulates? Or at least at the peace conference?

I confess I'm murky on how the NF tree does this.

Vicky merges with Free France through a decision when Free France controls Paris. The coup France might merge/takeover Vicky if Vicky capitulates as it's a civil war but it's murky if Free France would be able to take the decision then. You'll still likely have to deal with the peace conference before hand.

Oui! J’adore ménage à trois

I'm pretty sure this is a bug related to how France forms/reforms after any major country event. It might also be related to Vichy existing longer than it should, too (I think there is another bug where the German AI never executes Case Anton).

I've gotten a similar issue in peace conferences where the Allies beat the Axis -- no matter how well Free France does in liberating itself, the end result of the peace conference is always a balkanized France, with 2 Frances, a French puppet, Corsica, etc.

If you were America that would not be inaccurate to what happened. Regardless if a civil war country is at peace and has the same ideology as the other side the game will annex one to the other. That's how it used to be anyway.
