in season 2, Suzaku isn't aiming at "make britannia treate conquered countries better
that might have been the case in season 1
in season 2, its "help britannia conquer more countries, to earn the rank of KoO, so that HE could govern japan HIMSELF"
he's past changing britannia at that stage
he wants to be the one IN-CHARGE of how japan is being ran so that he can effect IT and ONLY IT
and the EU in code geass is like the EU in OUR world
where the countries are independent, but allied together through trade and military alliance to combat a greater threat
so yes, britannia conquering its countries is EXACTLY the same as conquering japan
