  Will have to inform the french national services about it ("Ameli", "Impôts", "URSSAF"), apparently they are not aware of it!

    It's one of the objective in the long run but it does require a lot of work to get everyone on the same page. I am currently working on implementing the "Système de Design de l'État" for a french governement service but unfortunately it is still pretty chaotic right now since there are many modifications of components with breaking-changes / no backwards compatibility with almost every releases.

      Don't worry, I know it's not that easy, and good for you for sticking to the design system rules! My sarcasm was mostly directed to the chaos introduced in state services by giant consulting firms doing there own thing quick and dirty...

    Yeah, in theory the French government offers a ton of super-useful APIs to its services (to automatically fetch paperwork for a procedure, for instance) but the big services use almost none of them.

    Wait till you work with the team, and they decide to make all highlighted colors like a an extreme warning sign because "accesiblity" and 10 other dramatic choices and they prefer to be dominant debaters "I decide and you listen to me because you are not part of the team" instead of any reason.

  Wait, the Germans, of all people, don’t have a standard government design system? Next you’re going to say the Swiss also don’t have one, and I’ll have to throw out my entire set of national stereotypes!

    As someone from Germany I'm sometimes surprised what stereotypes exist outside Germany about it. I can assure you standardizing things is not something Germany is good at.

  Of all the examples in this thread, this is the only one that isn't a plain HTML page, but rather a pile of javascript that takes several seconds to load and shows nothing but an "enable javascript" banner without JS. Despicable, but also absolutely typical. Edit: alright, CZ, UA and RU further down the thread are the same, I just hadn't gotten to those yet. Still, absolutely unacceptable for a government design standard.
