And yes, they are still trying to reclaim Britain. That's what Suzaku's been doing the last year. And that where all the other Knights of the Round have been in season 1.

So what you're saying is even with 13 New Types in Super Robots (including Suzaku) Britannia hasn't been able to retake the home Isles? In that case, Britannia is even less of a super power than I thought. OR, Britannia, like Britain of old, has devoted the lion's share of its attention and funding to developing a navy whereas the Europeans focused on land warfare, with the result that though the introduction of KMFs in recent has tipped the favor in Britannia's advantage somewhat, land warfare is still not their specialty. Air power being equal.

What map were you looking at? I didn't see it reach to the tip at all, even if some of it's eastern territory is under the CF. That's exaggerating right there. Plus you didn't even include pakistan being a part of India before. And last I looked members of the vassal state don't usually go off working for their overlords competitors, get admitted into there universities and become one of their leading scientist and are then welcomed back with open arms when they return home, and Larkshata is famous for her work in the past so don't bring in they didn't know about it >_>

Concerning Pakistan, you cannot see its southern part, but at least Afghanistan and maybe its northern part, on the boundary of the Arabia-Persia, is in the China color. I haven't been investigating Rakshata's academical background, but to me she is quite a free electron, pledging allegiance to no one and only following the side that will amuse her the most. Plus in one of the sound episode I heard that she described her country as corrupt, wich would fit also for the bureaucracy of China. Or maybe they just neglected to color an independant India..... (even if it is a little bigger than Iceland) |

People travel all the time, just because someone's home land is controlled by another state does not mean they can't be from there.
Any way, my thought as to why they haven't gotten the British Isles back... fuel. What's the main explosive fuel in the CG world? Sakuradite, which is found in heavy deposits in Japan. Currently other than Area 11 we have no idea if there are any other deposits found around the world. My thought is that they didn't have enough fuel to peruse a long term campaign against the EU until they took over area 11. Beyond that it could be said that the EU has frames that are at least the equivalent to the Sutherland to create a stalemate. It would also make sense why the Empire was so set on developing their military technologies. The mass produced Vincent will help break the stalemate once they're deployed in large numbers. Also up until the recent ep I don't believe the Chinese have been actively at war with the Empire. |

Concerning fuel, I wonder if instead of Sakuradite the Arabia-Persia is relying on oil instead, as they would have large supply of it, and the KMF we saw during the pacification of Area 18 had a diesel power vibe , but even if it where the case, they would probably be the only ones to do so, as Naqahdah technlogy seem infinitely superior.

Plus a lot of mecha series are dominated by powerful factions fighting each other, it's just the way it seems to go. We're arguably lucky to even be getting mention of individual nations in show like Gundam 00 and Code Geass. I'll be honest, I was a little surprised to find countries being named in this series as I'm so used to stand in factions that have grown out of them. Really though, as Vallen says, it's more or less the way the world works. |

His country Corsica was invaded by France, so Napoleon joined the French army, and raised through the ranks. That's the Suzaku part. But then Napoleon took power, had many victories, and rule the nation that ruled his homeland. That's the part that Suzaku couldn't achieve; he can fight in the front lines like a demon, but a leader he isn't.

It's the character of Napoleon, but split between suzuku and Lulu. Suzuku represent his rise in the army, and lulu represent his strategic gift! ....maybe.

Here's some complete speculation somethings. I noticed that Russia is part of the EU. Now historically in anime Russia as always been grouped with China because of their communist ties.
From what we know of the Chinese Union they still have their Imperial monarchy in place. So we could probably assume that communism never took hold. From the looks of it, I wouldn't be surprised if socialism never rose to power in Russia either. With their tsar-ship (i have no idea what to call it) in place I believe they had more ties to Europe than to Asia. Interestingly, having Russia be part of the EU gives them the ability to wage war on the Empire on 2 fronts. |

And is it really a good idea to launch an attack from Siberia of all places? I am sure Britannia didn't attack that side because they (smartly) feared the cold, but just because it is a good defensive platform doesn't make it a good place to start an offensive.
