My hypothesis is that it would be a multicultural (old english settlers, later indian and chinese like Mao), neutral nation. But so far those are only speculations. |

This is probably retarded, but it would be a pain to call people "Eighteens" in English.
"Hey you! Eighteens, get over here!" Hmm, it doesn't roll right off the tongue like Elevens does. I guess it's not so bad when you say "Juuhachi". If it was in Korean, at least we could call someone 18 nom. lol |

Meh, whatever, still not sure if it's Italy or not, I only heard Schneizel was campaigning in North Africa and asked Suzaku to come along and help so I assumed he was still there >_>

If Britannia can seize Suez, it means a number of things. It bisects the European Union from Africa, and prevents men and material from Africa from freely flowing elsewhere. The ability to supply and maintain control over Suez and bits of the Middle East means that Britannia can secure supply lines over North Africa, which in turn means that little African support can get through the Mediterranean, even if Britannia doesn't hold Gibralter. (And if Britannia does, that's even worse for Europe.) Without relying on Chinese aid and ports, suddenly all materials from Africa can no longer go to the east coast and go through Suez: they have to go around the long way, along the coast and across the Eastern Atlantic, or other equally risky measures. And, of course, once Britain can snatch Suez, it would mean beating Europe's North Africa forces, allowing them to snatch other parts of North Africa at their leisure. |

I may be over thinking but if I can recall, the reinforcements in Ep 6 came directly East from Britannia. If Area 10 and the Philippines been conquered, would it make more sense to send armies from bases in the Philippines and the surrounding area? But on the other hand they have Alaska...
And just a speculation but I think the CF somehow reclaimed Southeast Asia because they probably wouldn't want Brittania sitting dangerously close to their borders. |

The Suez is a natural trade route no matter the owner, not least because it allows a major shortcut to Europe from having to go around three sides of Africa. |

I think that the whole Africa is already under Britannian control, or at least almost all of it or virtually. |

The landfall of Turn 3 was probably a kind of remake of Operation Dragoon (aka invasion of southern France during WW2 by the Allied forces).
The dialogue of Turn 8 plus the fact that the landfall point was a rocky seaside with hills in the foreland and mediterranean architecture are good hints toward this. |

Landing in Europe in no way requires conquering Africa first. Not even all of it: securing a secure organizational area that you could launch planes, boats, and store supplies at would be all you needed. |

Why did he say France? Wouldn't it be correct to say "EEU?" or was the purpose of the fighting was to break France out of the EEU? |

The States would probably retain enough political and territorial sovereignity for the local administration of France to ask for peace talks. |

Well their armies ARE divided into "State" forces. Hence the Dutch engineering corps, Germany army, and Italian army.
If the French army was defeated and the other allies failed to support them then I'd guess they could broker a peace treaty with Britannia (And stay neutral out of the fight). Though taking the French out of the fight is a pretty big accomplishment. I'm guessing that France would've been one of the major powerholders in the EU. |
