Japan was already pretty much destroyed, how can electing an incompetent help them rebuild. Most of the wealthy where killed in the Fleija incident.

You seem to be under the impression that what was nuked belonged to Japan. You'd be quite mistaken. Those were largely Britannians who died. It is their wealth that were suffered. Even more so when you consider that Britannia financed reconstructing the settlement. All in all, you're making more of one incident than is there. Ohgi would not have too hard a time managing Japan given that Lelouch left it in a decent state by taking over the planet. In this case, a symbol, with the right people guiding him, would make a decent leader.

Again, free will. They have it, Geassed people don't. They can only act in a way which allows them to carry out their orders. With master dead, the order is meaningless, or at the very least falls down the chain of command.
