Holy Britannia Empire

Offitially called Holy Britannian Empire.

The Holy Britania Empire is one of the factions that currently compete with the Eurasian Federation, fighting for the territories of the countries that its neighbors have, and wanting world domination.

Was a nation born from the defeated remnants of the Britania Empire and was the world's dominant military superpower that ruled over one-third of the world and one of the major imperial alliances that originally controlled the Earth at the start of the 21st century.

Its geography consists of all of North and South America, half of Africa, the territory of Australia, New Zealand, Oceania, the Philippines, Indonesia, and half of Japan, which borders the Eurasian Federation. These territories were conquered and turned into colonies. Each area was designated by its number. At that point in time, Charles zi Britannia was in charge of this, but after Lelouch's accession to the throne, the system of districts and numbers was abolished, and all previous numbers were granted full citizenship, and the former names of all areas were restored. Lelouch, however, remained the ruler of all the former regions. He wanted to change the situation for the better, but riots and uprisings at various points did not make it possible to restore complete order, although they were successfully suppressed.

The capital of the Empire is the imperial capital of Pendragon, currently located in North America.

Britannia traces its cultural origins to Julius Caesar's military expedition to the British Isles, when he twice invaded Britain in 55 and 54 BC, Alvin I met with strong resistance from the local tribes who became the founder of the imperial family. The election of a king and the repulsion of the Romans is the start date for "Ascension to the Throne of Britain".

It is not stated whether the current imperial family (Charles' family) traces their genealogy back to Alvin I, or if the British Isles remained independent of Roman rule during their history, or if they were also able to repel barbarian invasions, i.e., whether the British are descendants of the Celts. or if they are Anglo-Saxons, like the British of our world.

Britannia appears to be an absolute monarchy, meaning that the Royal Family has most or all of the power and administrative power, although there is also a bicameral legislature, at least in the British Homeland. The upper house is the House of Lords, which probably represents the interests of aristocrats, while the lower house is the Senate, and senators may be chosen from their state legislatures. Since the aristocracy dominates the House of Lords, the Senate represents the common people. The Emperor is the absolute ruler and head of state of Britain, while the Prime Minister is the head of government. Although Britain's politics vary by reigning emperor, its succession is based on social Darwinism, not divine mandate, as their name and the verse from the national anthem suggest ("His [the emperor's] bloodline is immortal and pure").

The lower nobles control much of the business and bureaucracy outside of the Royal Family, and judging by the number of legal and illegal businesses that spring up in the occupied territories, capitalism is widely encouraged. Residents of conquered nations can become honorary British citizens, and while they are not true British or free from discrimination, they are entitled to the same basic rights. Those who refuse to accept honorary citizenship are doomed to live in seedy ghettos, while those who accept it can live in prosperous British colonial cities called Concessions.

During the era of Charles Zi Britannia largely followed the ideology of social Darwinism. While the emperor himself theoretically wields most state power, in practice he delegates regional control to his many children, and even those who do not govern a particular region also wield considerable political and military power. Charles has stated that the traditional morality of the Ten Commandments is counter-progressive and believes that only internal strife and military conquest can advance human evolution, and advocates acts such as adultery and murder. He doesn't even make an exception for his own children, as he shows no sympathy for their deaths, only taking pride in seeing those who cannot fend for themselves be selected from the royal line. It was during Charles's time that the war broke out between the Eurasian Federation.

When Lelouch vi Britannia ascended the throne, he quickly reversed many of the policies that had grown during the Charles era. These included the abolition of the aristocratic system, severe penalties for financial conglomerates engaged in or part of illegal or illegal activities, and the abolition of the quantity-area system. This led to a split among the British citizens, with discontent among the former nobles and approval among the commoners, with the result that Lelouch's agents and loyalists were regularly dispatched to suppress dissidents.

However, during his regime, instead of moving towards democracy, the Empire actually progressed, becoming more dictatorial and domineering than ever. His regime is opposed by the Imperial Family, who lost their power after he took the throne and denominated them, and the Knights of the Circle, who are loyal to Charles. Emperor Lelouch actually conceived the whole thing as part of Requiem Zero. Although the open war is over, but the competition between the territories of the 2 superpowers is still going on. Probably Lelouch once promised Harlock that when he steps on the throne he will make the country more democratic, but he broke the promise. This made an already difficult situation even worse. But these are the events of GU2, when it will especially manifest itself, and in doing so will put the fate of Anima City in a difficult choice between the Empire and the Federation. In the next events (when choosing the right lines), when Lelouch realized what mistakes he made, he decides to move towards democracy.

Already closer to modern times, Britannia also takes on the study of the structure of the bodies of Cybertronians and with the help of such knowledge they take up the structure of their mechs, they are called Knightmers, although later they also take other models of mechs under their army. Like Gundams in the Eurasian Federation, they are the most common combat unit among the army.
