Talk:Holy Britannian Empire

Britannia has a sort of democratic like structure in appearance but it not democracy it a dictatorship this people especially the commoner to seem like they have power

Basic Info
I'm sorry, but where does it ever actually say Nunnally became the Empress? Lelouch abolished the nobility, so it doesn't make sense for her to be. She follows the new Zero around, but we've got absolutely no indication that she's an Empress. Could be a local celebrity, could be a figure with an idealistic following -- could be anything, really, except Empress. (I mean, just as a tiny tiny example, when she meets up with everyone at Ashford in that one post-series picture drama, she a.) ONLY has Zero with her (no sign of a royal entourge), and b.) is not referred to especially respectfully by anyone present. If she was supposed to be the Empress, it's narratively logical for at least ONE character to address her that way (or as Nunnally-sama, ANYTHING), even if Nunnally responds by asking them to please just call her "Nunnally".

So, yeah. Tell me what I'm missing, or I think this note should be removed from the wikia. As far as I know, it's just a popular fan theory -- not in any way a fact, and not even very logically-consistent.

It never says it outright as far as I know, but it is heavily implied. (Possibly by the creators, but don't quote me on that.) Firstly, Lelouch did abolish the nobility, but he still remained Emperor, so while the lower-ranking nobles lost their titles, the monarchy remained in place. As such, when he is killed at the end of the series, since he has no designated heir, the throne would pass to his next closest of kin, that being Nunnally, his only full sibling. (Schneizel and Cornelia are both half siblings). The remainder of the Royal family was killed off in the Pendragon F.L.E.I.J.A. explosion, and Schniezel was ordered to obey Zero, so there would be no one else to challenge it. I have no real explanation as to why Cornelia wouldn't challenge it, but Schniezel did say at the end of episode 22 that he wished to instill Nunnally on the throne anyway, so perhaps Cornelia remained a part of that plan. As for no one addressing her respectfully, she is called "Nunnally-sama" once by one of the students during the last picture drama. I hope that info dump clears some things up.

V.V. mentions in one episode while talking to Cornelia that he respects her renouncing her claim to the throne to clear Euphies name. So assuming all the other royals are dead, Cornelia has no claim, and Schneizel works for Zero, Nunnally is the only remaining member of the royal family to inherit the throne --Legiondude 10:51, November 11, 2010 (UTC)
