Though I'd say that by the end she no longer followed those beliefs. Euphemia's death shook her up pretty bad... and when Lelouch took control in the way she thought that Britannia should take control, I think she began to see the error of her ways...

While she believed it made functional sense, she seemed to enjoy her job quite a bit, and couldn't resist a derogatory insult against Numbers. And throughout R2, she never seemed to display any feelings of remorse for her acts. Either she forgot, or they were obscured in the R2 storyline.
And she had a history of doing some terrible things and being incredibly merciless in her methods, like massacring an Area 11 ghetto to draw out Zero early in S1, and would have likely had the hotel leveled in the JLF hostage incident if Euphemia hadn't been one of those hostages.
In short, in real life, she'd likely be tried as a war criminal.
