I'd doubt that France would be N. The culture is more based on adherance to tradition than even the UK and we're most definitely ISTJ.
I think in typing a country/ culture you have to look more at what they prize than what they do. For example, in the UK an engineer is prized as are doctors etc. However they are not prized for their problem solving but for their wealth of knowledge. Combine this with the UK fascination with general knowledge and esoteric knowledge you get a culture that would embrace anyone capable of holding large amounts of information and keeping it organised. ISTJs are well equipped for such things and their usual disregard for many social nicities is perhaps where the whole "eccentric" concept stems from.
Personally I would have thought that countries where more hollistic approaches to problems/ situations were taken would be intuitive. I'm not too sure about what culture that describes. Perhaps Sweden?
