It was not installed by the Germans. Marshal Petain became Pemiere of France before their capitulation according to proper french constitutional procedures. After the armistice the French parliament voted to essentially scrap the constitution and invest him with dictatorial powers. This was done on their own hook, not at the behest of the Germans. Anyway, his government is called the Vichy government after the small resort town in southern France which became the de facto French capital when the government fled Paris before it fell.
