Although Lelouch worked to liberate Area 11 as Zero, he admitted that Area 11 and its people are better off under Britannian rule, in terms of its economic and geopolitical situation, so long as the Japanese can live without pride. The general Britannian policy is to let each Area govern itself. This has the effect of dividing moderates and hardliners within Britannian society, with the former seeking to improve an Area's status through peaceful obedience while the latter try to disrupt the process through their activities. The "Reformation" category is also known as "Correctional." Following conquest, an Area gradually progresses through these areas and gains greater degrees of autonomy with it, though, in the case of a serious setback such as a popular uprising, an Area may be demoted as Area 11 was following the First Black Rebellion.

Early in the first season, Area 18 is conquered by Britannia, while many more Areas are conquered during the course of R2, though none of them are designated.Īreas are given one of three categories: Reformation, Developing, and Satellite status, according to Code Geass Light Novel: Stage-2-Knight. There are at least eighteen Areas (twenty-one in the manga), numbered in order of conquest, though only a handful are mentioned by name.
Each Area is designated with a number, and its people are referred to by that number (ex: after Japan was conquered and made into Area 11, the Japanese were known as Elevens). No other areas are designated beyond Area 18.Īn Area is a nation or group of nations that has been conquered by Britannia and made into a colony.
In the second season, Schniezel's forces conquer more than half of the territory of the Europia United, incorporating France, Spain, Russia, and southern, western, and northern Africa in an unspecified amount of Areas. By the beginning of the events of the series, in 2017 a.t.b., Britannia has conquered six more areas, and then the Middle Eastern Federation as Area 18.
In the prologue to the series, Britannia invades Japan, one of the few other independent nations, in order to secure deposits of sakuradite. Oddly enough, the British Isles are not a part of Britannia, instead of being part of the Europia United and do not unify with the empire, even after the EU's defeat. Cambodia appears to be a part of the empire at least by the events of R2, as it serves as the headquarter for Schneizel's faction although never referred to as an Area. The novels indicate that the Indochinese Peninsula is Area 10, though other maps contradict this in the anime, Indochina seems to be a part of the Chinese Federation comprising of Vietnam and Laos. Prior to the invasion of Japan, Britannia comprised the entire North and South American continents as well as New Zealand and the Philippines. 8.5 Between First and Second Black Rebellion.4.3 Euphemia Li Britannia's Era (Nightmare Of Nunnally).
After the events of Zero Requiem, the empire disintegrated and later reformed as the Principality of Britannia. The Holy Britannian Empire (神聖ブリタニア帝国 Shinsei Buritania Teikoku) (1813 a.t.b.-2018 a.t.b.) was a nation born from the defeated remnants of the British Empire and was the world's dominant military superpower that ruled over one-third of the world and one of the large Empire-unions that control Earth initially in the early 21st Century, the others being the Chinese Federation, the Europia United, and later United Federation of Nations.
