I ordered a few more Pléiade books from France (Chateaubriand and Montesquieu, 2 volumes of the latter and one of the former) from amazon. Amazon.fr is actually located in the Netherlands (or perhaps I'm supposed to be calling it just Netherlands now that they broke away from the Habsburgs), something I've noticed several times. However, the books are shipping from Spain, which tells me that amazon.fr probably doesn't have warehouses in France anymore (I knew they had a bunch in Germany).
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

How is it not about the economy if France has regulations on book prices?

I meant it's not about the current economy, the law exists since 1981

I believe "Kingdom of the Netherlands" is still the formally correct name.

A very artificial kingdom it must be, too, given that the true kings of Burgundy are gone.
