United Republic of Europia

The Euro Universe (ユーロ・ユニバース, Yūro Yunibāsu) is one of the three main Superpowers in the Code Geass Universe. The creation of the E.U. has been estimated around the 18th century, or the Industrial Revolution, when Napoleon Bonaparte was successful in the war against Britannia and occupied the British Isles. This caused the Britannians to be exiled to the Americas that were recently neutralized from Washington's rebellion. Although in 1821 Napoleon suffers defeat at Waterloo and ends the theory of the possible conquering and submission of Russia, it joins the E.U. later on in history, the meaning is unknown as the events between 1821-2010 are not described. It is possible that similar events to the World Wars happened (evidence to this can be seen in flashbacks of C.C.'s childhood) and a bond was formed between the two and the E.U. expanded further with the Imperialism of Africa. While geographically the largest of the three, it receives little actual attention in the show. It is usually abbreviated as the E.U., which may be a reference to the real-world European Union. In 2018, Schneizel leads the Britannian forces against the E.U., successfully conquering almost half of their territory. Due to the significant decrease in the E.U.'s territory and power, the Emperor of Britannia no longer considers the E.U. a threat, and indeed very few territories still allied to the E.U. and not Britannia or the UFN remain toward the end of the series.

Geography
In the first Season, the intro map shows the E.U. to contain all of Africa, Europe, the Russian parts of Asia, and parts of the Middle-east. However, almost half of its territory was taken by Britannian forces under the leadership of Prince Schneizel. More remaining territories joined the United Federation of Nations. Currently the Euro Universe has been reduced to Scandinavia and a small portion of Southern Europe. The only nations currently remaining as part of the E.U. are the British Isles, Germany, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Ukraine and an area of Africa near the Congo.

Government
Supposedly being formed soon after the age of Revolution in Europe, the E.U. is probably the most democratic of the three supernations, but also most divided. The government enshrines the notion of equality, that all humans are born equal, embodying real-world democratic socialist and classical liberal thought. Beyond that, little is known about the E.U.'s central government, although going by the name and republic-type of democratic political base, it is likely headed by a council of sorts with representatives from each European state.

Military
The E.U.'s military is divided into the National Guard style forces of each member nation, and then separated into right-wing and left-wing divisions. The military technology of the EU seems to be the least advanced of all of the supernations, as almost all of their territory is lost to Britannia within a year despite their massive amount of land possessed beforehand; however, this could have been more due to Schneizel's tactical abilities rather than any lack of technological advancement on the Europeans' part. The only known knightmare frame belonging to the E.U. is the Panzer-Hummel, which appears to be between the Chinese Gun-Ru and Britannian machines in technology level, although this model was shown to actually be effective against Britannian Sutherlands and Gloucesters when in numbers. One reason that provides evidence to the quick defeat of the E.U. may be because of the wartime structure the member countries have, where individual nations possess their own armies, thus leading to seperate leadership or suffer from a lack of teamwork. This theory is described by Bismarck in episode 16 when the U.F.N. is formed.

The E.U. is believed been in conflict with both the Chinese Federation and the Britannian Empire for some time. Some of its members has been conducting peace negotiations with Britannia, and thus become part of its territory, while another half has ratified the United States Charter of United Federation of Nations.
