I have a few questions regarding the world and social setting of Code Geass which I would like to discuss:
1)Social and Economic Stratum: Since Brittania is an absolute monarchy, that implies that there is no constitution or parliament, correct? And from the way the emperor speaks, it seems that Brittania would closer resemble 19th Century England than its present form, when the social stratums were far more pronounced and overall economy, though robust, far more unequal. For instance, Knights and Baronets, the lowest level peers, could have typical household incomes of 40-100 times that of a well paid sailor (soldiers were paid even worse, and usually only better than vagrants and the poorest of the poor).
Thus, Brittania in the world of code geass is one with superior economic and technological power, but with the distribution of wealth being far more concentrated than say present day America. That is not to say that the masses were rising up in revolt, but that the though the average Brittanian was doing well, the rich were far fewer and far richer.
2) Are there missiles in Code Geass? Or were guidance/homing systems never invented, like nuclear technology?
3) Is the currency in Brittania ever mentioned?
4) Are there references to religion in Code Geass?
