North America

The Principality of Britannia (also reffered to as Britannia) is a nation that succeeded the Holy Britannian Empire after a series of reforms conducted after the Zero Requiem. It is regarded as one of the great powers of the United Federation of Nations, holding a similar amount of influence as the founding members of the United States of China and the United States of Japan.

Geography

After the Zero Requiem, it is unclear how much land Britannia retains from the former Holy Britannian Empire. However, it can be assumed that it at least contains the homeland located in North America. 

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.

Major Cities

The capital of the Principality is Pendragon, which was destroyed by Schneizel using a F.L.E.I.J.A. warhead fired from the flying fortress of Damocles and later rebuilt.[1]

He sent Cornelia li Britannia with a smalll number of troops to monitor the region, while sending Kallen StadtfeldLloyd Asplund, and Sayoko Shinozaki to infiltrate Zilkhstan for information.[2]

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.
