I still don't understand this, from my perspective the song, at the very least, is a pretty good positive since it's almost certainly about Lelouch and its not about eternal separation. But perhaps that's because I'm not much of a shipper...

All that aside, for the supposed speculation, (assuming I'm not mistaken in my knowledge of Japanese) while 愛 can be used for love towards anything when it is turned into 愛してる it usually is between people, and by usually I mean almost always. To use it for the love of a country, when adoration/attachment or 愛慕 is more appropriate, is just weird. It may use the same base but the connotation is certainly different. So while it is possible, it would be illogical to use 愛してる for something like this.

And as has been stated, why would Kallen's line be about Japan? How many times has she even thought about Japan this season?
