That is mostly possible according to the standards. The one part which 
is illegal is the 'c=France' part - the countryName attribute can only 
have legal values which are two characters long and are from ISO 3166. 
'c=FR' would be correct for you.

You can obtain the other valid country codes from:

ftp://ftp.ripe.net/iso3166-countrycodes

You can have any number according to the standards.

You may find problems with one or more server implementations - did you 
have any particular server in mind?
