The Principality of Britannia (also referred to as Britannia)(2018 a.t.b.-Present) is the successor state to the Holy Britannian Empire following parts of it fracturing into smaller nations on there non American territories and established through a series of political reforms conducted after the Zero Requiem.

Geography

After the Zero Requiem, it is unclear how much territory Britannia retains from the former Holy Britannian Empire. However, at the beginning of the Kowa Period, a portion of mainland Britannia split-off and became one of the few nations not part of the UFN. this is most of there overseas territories not part of the americas .

Due to both Lelouch vi Britannia's and Nunnally vi Britannia's desire to reform the Holy Britannian Empire into something more tolerant, it can be assumed that the Principality no longer holds the majority of the former Areas, letting them have their independence.

Formation

After the Zero Requiem, the Holy Britannian Empire most of the overseas territories fractured into independent countries and Britannia is reformed into the more democratically led Principality of Britannia. Schneizel el Britannia becomes the first official head of state of the Principality. 

Kowa Era

The Principality has assisted the United Federation of Nations with the crisis regarding the Kingdom of Zilkhstan, especially since Schneizel has invested personal interest with rescuing Nunnally, doing everything he can as the Chief of Staff of the UFN. He sent Cornelia li Britannia with a small number of troops to monitor the region while sending Kallen Stadtfeld, Lloyd Asplund, and Sayoko Shinozaki to infiltrate Zilkhstan for information.

Government

The Principality is stated to be a Republic, though the Royal Family shares power with a democratic body. The remaining members of the royal family seem to still have considerable influence, with Princess Nunnally able to push the legislature for certain policies despite having no direct power in any official capacity in the nation.

The Prince/Princess is the head of state of Britannia, while the Prime Minister is the head of government. Schneizel is currently the ruling Prince, as well as the first. It is unclear how much power the head of state shares with the head of government and Parliament; however, the masked leader Zero holds immense power in decision making, working as a close attaché to Nunnally vi Britannia and as the "power behind the throne" in the shadow of a Geassed Schneizel.

Culture

The culture of the Principality is very unique and diverse, with many cultural roots traced back to various regions of Europe due to the flight of the nobility caused by liberal revolutions. English still serves as the primary language despite the diversity present.

Britannia is a very advanced nation at the forefront of the scientific community.

The nation has a strong tradition of chivalry and honour, with the Glinda Knights given the task of keeping on eye on the Order of the Black Knights under U.F.N jurisdiction. It appears that most Britannians are still loyal to the royalty.

Military

As a member of the United Federation of Nations, Britannia does not possess its own military. For the most part, it appears that all military operations are conducted by the Black Knights as according to the founding documents of the UFN. However, the Glinda Knights exist as an independent force and even serve to help audit the Black Knights as per the wishes of Zero who does not wish for too much power to be concentrated in one organization.

Many former members of Britannia's military now operate as members of the Black Knights, including Cornelia li Britannia, Gilbert G.P. Guilford and Gino Weinberg.
