The settings and themes of the anime series Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion are parts of an alternate universe within which the Holy Empire of Britannia, an international superpower, has expanded its influence over a large portion of the planet.[1]

Expansion of the Britannian Empire.

The world of Code Geass is mainly divided amongst three international superpowers: the Holy Empire of Britannia (shown in red), the Chinese Federation (shown in light green), and the Euro Universe (shown in yellow). Australia (shown in light blue) has remained independent, and is not a major player in international politics.

Much of the series is set in Japan. On August 10, 2010 a.t.b., the Holy Empire of Britannia overpowered Japanese forces and conquered the country with their newly-developed robotic weapons, the Knightmare Frames, in less than a month. Japan lost its freedom, its rights, and even its name, becoming "Area 11" and its people "Elevens". The Elevens are forced to survive in ghettos while Britannians live in first-class settlements. Rebel elements persist, however, as pockets of Japanese resistance struggle against the Empire for the independence of Japan.[2]

After his father, Emperor Charles di Britannia, did nothing to pursue the terrorists who murdered his mother and crippled his sister, Lelouch Lamperouge vowed to destroy Britannia after being banished from his home.[3] Seven years later in Area 11, he encounters a mysterious girl who gives him the power of Geass. With it, he finally has the power he needs to defeat Britannia and fulfill his two wishes: to seek revenge for his mother and to construct a world where his beloved sister can live happily.[2]

Geass

Geass (ギアス, giasu) is a mysterious ability which certain people can bestow upon others; C.C. is the most prominent character who grants the power of Geass. The Geass manifests differently in each individual, possibly related to their inner desires. The power of Geass increases with use, and should the user lack the willpower, they may be consumed by it, which was the case with Mao. C.C. calls Geass the Power of the King (王の力, Ou no Chikara),[1] and though she is unable to use the power herself, she is immune to the power being used on her. However, people who have Geass are not immune to the Geass effects of others.[4] The Geass is represented by a glowing, bird-shaped symbol.

Every Geass, while powerful, has its own unique set of restrictions, limitations, or idiosyncrasies. These factors allow a Geass to be defeated, or its power limited, by someone who is aware of its characteristics. All Geass abilities that have thus far appeared within the canon of the television series have been related to the mind, influencing such things as will, thought, memory, and perception. Geass abilities in the manga sidestory Knightmare of Nunnally have no such limitations.

According to an English edition of Newtype, the power of Geass has something to do with the very existence of humankind, and it may be used to destroy or transform just about anything.[5] "Geass" may be an intentional corruption of the word geas or geis, a term for a type of magical contract in Irish mythology.

The Holy Empire of Britannia

File:Britannian flag.svg
The Flag of the Holy Empire of Britannia.

The Holy Empire of Britannia (神聖ブリタニア帝国, Shinsei Buritania Teikoku) is an imperial monarchy and the most prominent superpower within the world of Code Geass.[3] Its homeland is based in North America, with additional territories spanning the western hemisphere, including the rest of the Americas and Greenland.[6] In total, it controls over one third of the world.[1]

The Britannia imperial line began with a Celtic king who resisted Julius Caesar's invasion. This divergence in history caused many other differences: the retaining of absolute monarchy, the suppression of the American colonies' rebellion in 1776, the eventual conquering of the American continents, and the exile of the Imperial Family from the British Isles to North America. Its calendar is "Ascension Throne Britannia", or a.t.b (known as the Imperial Calendar in the English dub). It has continued to expand, with the most recent conquests taking place in the Middle East and Europe.

The elitist Britannian national ideology promoted by the present 98th Emperor Charles di Britannia[1] closely resembles Social Darwinism, but this specific attitude and focus appears not to have been historically held by past regimes. Notably, the 91st Emperor, Alec la Britannia (アレク・ラ・ブリタニア, Areku ra Buritania), is stated in the novels to have once said, "A nation is built upon one part ideal and nine parts economic philosophy."[7]

Britannian nobility is divided by rank, the second lowest of which is the Knight (騎士, Kishi). Knightmare Frames pilots are automatically granted this title by virtue of their position in the military. However, unlike higher titles of nobility, the title is not hereditary. Typically, only Britannians can pilot Knightmares, though Suzaku is a special exception thanks to his being a part of the Special Deployment Unit. Knights are the lowest level of nobility capable of requesting an audience with an Imperial Prince or Princess. "Knight" is also the title given to the personal bodyguard chosen by a member of the Imperial family. The highest order of Knights are the Knights of Rounds, who serve under the direct authority of the Emperor and outside the normal chain of command.

The hierarchy of Britannian titles listed from highest to lowest, not including the Imperial Family:[1]

  • Grand Duke (大公爵)
  • Duke (公爵)
  • Marquess (侯爵)
  • Margrave (辺境伯)
  • Earl (伯爵)
  • Viscount (子爵)
  • Baron (男爵)
  • Knight (騎士), non-hereditary.
  • Knight of Honor (武勲侯), non-hereditary.

Britannian territories

The Britannian Empire is concentrated in the Americas. In the novels, its capital is the city of Neo-Wales (ネオウェルズ, Neo Veruzu)[7]; in the television series, a location known as Pendragon (ペンドラゴン, Pendoragon) is named as an Imperial City (帝都, Teito),[8] though it is unknown if this title refers to the capital.

The Britannian Empire, through various conquests, also controls New Zealand,[6] Japan (Area 11),[9] parts of the Middle East (Area 18),[10] the Philippines,[6] and in the novels a portion of the Indochina Peninsula (Area 10).[3] Notably, it does not control the British Isles,[6] having lost them to Napoleon.

Japan

Japan is the source of over 70% of the world's total supply of sakuradite. Under the former administration of Prime Minister Genbu Kururugi and with the shadow support of the sakuradite mining industries, Japan oppressed and dominated other countries through economic control.[3] Tensions between the Britannian Empire and Japan eventually developed into a diplomatic conflict and later open war.[2] Following Japan's defeat, it was occupied by Britannian forces, and its name was changed to Area 11.[1] As a means of cultural suppression, Britannia has eliminated the use of kanji in proper names.[11]

Fuji Administrative District
The Fuji Administrative District (フジ行政区, Fuji Gyousei Ku) is the site of a major sakuradite mining operation carried out under the direct authority of the NAC.[12] In 2017, it was the setting of the first proposed Special Administrative Zone of Japan and the massacre that ensued during the founding ceremony. A memorial called the Fuji Mausoleum was built on site in the year following, commemorating those who died.[13] The location is also known as Sector F-208 (F-208区画, F-208 Kukaku).[14]


Special Administrative Zone of Japan
The Special Administrative Zone of Japan (行政特区日本, Gyousei Tokku Nippon) is a conceptual Britannian puppet state wherein Elevens are in name reverted as "citizens of Japan" and restored a number of rights and privileges denied to them as colonial subjects. It was originally to be situated in Sector F-208.[14] Its foundation was proposed and attempted by both Sub-Viceroy Euphemia li Britannia and Viceroy Nunnally vi Britannia, but neither instance was met with success. Euphemia's attempt ended in a bloody massacre followed by open rebellion,[15][14] while Nunnally's attempt saw all one million participants exiled.[13]
Tokyo Concession
The Tokyo Concession (トウキョウ租界, Toukyou Sokai) is the administrative capital of Area 11, as well as the setting of the majority of the first season. It occupies a fraction of the area of real-world Tokyo.[2] Dividing the concession from the ghettos that surround it is the 5th Circinate Line (環状5号線外回り) of its monorail system, which takes the place of the former Yamanote Line.[16] Militarily, its forces are organized into defense circles radiating from the Viceroy's Palace (総督府). The third such line from the center is called the Atsugi Line (アツギライン).[11] Ashford Academy is located within the concession.[1] So as to provide a regular foundation for ease of construction over the ruins of Old Tokyo (旧東京), the street level of the concession in fact rests upon a series of interlocked plates, which can be removed in case of earthquakes or other disasters. The locking mechanism is controlled via a closed-circuit system from a city administration facility. Lelouch twice exploits this in his battles against the Britannian army: first during the Black Rebellion, where he causes the top portion of the entire structure to collapse, destroying much of Cornelia's army[14]; and again a year later to dump a small contingent of Britannian forces onto Chinese consulate soil.[7]

Chinese Federation

Shown in teal, the Chinese Federation is an imperial monarchy that spans the Asian and Pacific regions, including Central, South, East and Southeast Asia with Sakhalin and the Korean Peninsula. Its population is the largest of the three major powers, but most live in poverty. Its political structure and organization appears to resemble the real-world Empire of China. The Emperor of the Federation was formerly an office that held absolute political power, but it has since been reduced to an effectively symbolic figurehead posting, "a symbol of the state and the unity of the people." As with the real-world Emperor of Japan, the individual who holds the title is regarded as a living divinity whose sovereignty is entirely ceremonial. Prior to a civilian uprising, true control of the nation lies with the brutal governmental organization known as the "High Eunuchs" (大宦官, Dai Kangan).[11] Following the group's liquidation, the territories of the Federation become politically fragmented.[8]

Under the High Eunuchs, the Federation sought to take control of Area 11 for its own purposes. In the first season, General Cao attempts unsuccessfully to set up a puppet government in Kyūshū, using the remnants of the Japanese cabinet in exile. In the second season, a Chinese consulate is established with the agreement of the local Britannian authorities, and negotiations are held by Eunuch Gao Hai to the end of obtaining a solid Chinese foothold within the colony. The Federation has long-standing hostilities with the Euro Universe.

Militarized Zone of India
The Militarized Zone of India (インド軍区, Indo Gun-Ku) is one of the territories under the Chinese Federation. It is referred to by the Federation government with the diminutive "beyond known lands" (化外の地). India is said to be vying for independence,[17] and has to this end covertly amassed profits by supplying arms to Resistance groups in Area 11 through the Kyōto House until the death of Taizō Kirihara in a.t.b. 2017. They have since directly aided the Order of the Black Knights by providing them with Knightmare Frames.[11]
Penglai Island
Penglai Island (蓬萊島, named after Mount Penglai) is an artificial island off the coast of China, which generates electricity through tidal activity. It is granted to the Black Knights by the Federation to accommodate the Japanese refugees exiled following Britannia's second attempt to establish the Special Administrative Zone of Japan.[17][11]
Vermillion Forbidden City
The Vermillion Forbidden City (朱禁城) is the seat of the Chinese Emperor and the government of the Federation — a large palace situated in the capital city of Luoyang.[18][11] It is off-limits to the general public and, aside from guard detail and other military personnel, holds a permanent staff of Eunuchs and female servants for fear that consorts and members of the Imperial line may be illicitly impregnated. Official guests may be permitted entry only by the highest offices of government. Under the administration of the High Eunuchs, it serves also as a prison to the Emperor, who is effectively under life-long house arrest. Its name differs from the real-world Violet Forbidden City (紫禁城) in Beijing.

Euro Universe

Shown in yellow, the Euro Universe (ユーロ・ユニバース, Yūro Yunibāsu), or E.U., is a democratic union[11] formed during the time of revolution (1800s).[19] It has been to be overseen by a council that meets in a location known as the Central Hemicycle (中央会議場).[15] It has long been in conflict with Britannia, with a legendary commander stationed at the El Alamein Front (エル・アラメイン戦線, Eru Aramein Sensen) to check the Britannian advance into North Africa.[20] It encompasses all of Europe (including the British Isles), Africa, and Russia.[6] In the second season, Schneizel leads the Britannian forces against the E.U., successfully conquering almost half of their territory.[21]

The E.U. apparently organizes their military into left-wing and right-wing camps, and their forces are drawn from National Guard-style units from a member nation (i.e. the German National Guard, the Italian National Guard and the Dutch Engineering Corps).

Australia

Shown in blue, Australia is seemingly independent of Britannia,[6] possibly due to the historical divergence causing no English settlers to be sent. However, it could be populated by settlers from the EU Countries or even solely by native Australian Aborigines.

United State of Japan

The United State of Japan (合衆国日本, Gasshūkoku Nippon) is declared by Zero near the end of the first season. The country rebels against the Britannian Empire following the failed attempt at establishing the Special Administrative Zone of Japan, but is defeated when Lelouch abandons the Black Knights in search of Nunnally.[14] Upon their escape to the Chinese Federation Consulate in the second season, Zero once again declares its formation, this time as a room in the consulate.[6] While Britannia considers it to be non-existent, other countries, the Chinese Federation among them, do recognize it.

After the exile of the Black Knights, the Japanese are granted control of the artificial island of Penglai in Chinese territory.[17] Lelouch's ultimate goal is to form a federation called the United States Alliance (合衆国連合, Gasshūkoku Rengō) in order to match Britannia's might. India has already agreed to the plan and has sent troops to aid the Black Knights, while Mongolia and Burma are expected join them as well.[21] With the death of the High Eunuchs, an alliance is forged between the United State of Japan and the Chinese Federation.[22]

Sakuradite (サクラダイト, Sakuradaito)
A naturally occurring substance that may be used as a high-temperature superconductor, employed as a critical component in energy fillers.[1] Originally discovered near the Stonehenge, it was referred to in the distant past as the "Philosopher's Stone". It was subsequently found by Marco Polo to be abundant in the island nation of Japan — one of the motives behind the Britannian occupation of the state.[1] Sakuradite may be artificially refined to a rare and expensive liquid form that is explosive or at least highly flammable.[23]

The Sword of Akasha
Sword of Akasha (アカシャの剣, Akasha no Tsurugi)
A shrine-like structure controlled by the Emperor of Britannia, which is architecturally reminiscent of Roman buildings and the Stonehenge. Its true purpose is unknown, but is described by the Emperor as a weapon with which to defeat the gods. Only a few know of and have access to this location, including the Emperor himself, V.V., and Suzaku Kururugi. Curiously, it appears to be very close to Jupiter.[7]
Thought Elevator (思考エレベーター, Shikou Erebētā)
A term used by those affiliated with Code-R to designate structures linked with the Geass ability, such as that within the apparently ancients ruins at Kamine Island. General Bartley speculates that the Emperor's recent invasions were done to gain control of the devices.[11]

Knightmare Frames

Main article: Knightmare Frame

Knightmare Frames (ナイトメアフレーム, Naitomea Furēmu, abbreviated KMF), officially designated as the Humanoid Autonomous Armored Knight, are giant robots designed by the Britannia Empire. Using self-propelled roller skate systems called 'Landspinners' to achieve high mobility and speeds on almost any terrain, they have all but replaced other ground-based combat vehicles. They are equipped with sophisticated 'Factsphere' open sensor cameras to gather visual data. They are powered by a Yggdrasil Drive and later models incorporate sakuradite. Verbally, the name sounds like nightmare, but in spelling, it refers to a knight's mare.[1]

Typical Knightmare Frame armament includes hand-held rifles, shoulder or wrist-mounted wired rocket anchors called Slash Harkens, Stun Tonfas, lances, and air burst hand grenades. The cockpit, set in the protruding "hump back", is equipped with rockets and parachutes so the pilot can eject to safety in case of emergency.

Vehicles

Avalon (アヴァロン, Avaron)
A Britannian airship owned by Schneizel, and the first of its kind introduced. It uses a Float System for flight, allowing it to hover in place.[24] In the second season, it is adopted as a flagship under the command of Suzaku following his assumption of knighthood within the Rounds. It is manned and operated by the staff of the irregular military research and development organization, Camelot,[25] which as of Suzaku's knighting also serves as his personal support unit. It features an MSV shield on its underside and a specialized wheelchair catapult for equipping and launching Knightmares. It is named after Avalon, a mythical island from Arthurian legend.
Caerleon Class Floating Battleship (カールレオン級浮遊航空艦, Kārureon-Kyū Fuyū-Koukūkan)
The Caerleon is the class name of Britannian light aerial cruisers, also known as Light Avalon, which commonly serve as escort ships in the Britannian Aerial Armada.[25]It has five turrets and one catapult. It is named after the village of Caerleon, from Arthurian legend.[11]
G-1 Base (G-1ベース, Ji-Wan Beesu)
A Britannian landcruiser commonly employed by the known members of the Imperial Family as a mobile command center[24] and a field hospital.
Logres Class Floating Battleship (ログレス級浮遊航空艦, Roguresu-Kyū Fuyū-Koukūkan)
The Logres is the class name of Britannian heavy aerial cruisers, with the distinctive feature of having two pairs of large wings. It addresses many of the weak points of its predecessor, the Avalon, which is inefficient during Knightmare battles. It has increased defense, a larger crew, and additional Knightmare storage.[25] It has twelve turrets and two catapults. It is named after Logres, the name of King Arthur's realm in the Matter of Britain.[11]
Longdan (竜胆, Rindou, lit. Gentian)
A pyramid-shaped land-cruising mobile fortress controlled by the Chinese Federation, capable of deploying hundreds of Gun-Ru Knightmares. It has two large cannons and thirteen normal cannons. Its drive system may be toggled to allow mobility across water.[25][11]
Ikaruga (斑鳩, lit. Japanese Grosbeak)
The aerial carrier of the Black Knights. It features the Druid System and Hadron Cannons of the Gawain, both salvaged from the Knightmare following its destruction,[25] a number of Slash Harkens, seven normal turrets, one large turret, and shielding based on the Guren Mk-II's radiant wave surger (輻射波動, fukushahadō, lit. radiation surge).[11] Unlike the Gawain, which could fire its cannons repeatedly, the Ikaruga's cannons have a long recharge time after each shot.
Black Knights' Submarine (黒の騎士団潜水艦, Kuro no Kishi-Dan Sensuikan)
Prior to giving the Black Knights the Ikaruga, Kyoto provided them with a high-speed submarine,[24] which served as the Black Knight's base during their time in Area 11. It has torpedo launchers and cruise missile launchers, as well as cargo storage for Knightmares. It also has two Slash Harken-like anchors.

Corporate sponsorship

Code Geass is sponsored by a number of companies in Japan, and hence their logos and mascots make frequent appearances.

BIGLOBE
A Britannian internet service provider that owns a search engine often used by Lelouch and other characters. BIGLOBE is an Japanese internet service provider and a sponsor of Code Geass. Unlike Pizza Hut, this is not edited out of the English dub.[11]
Pizza Hut (ピザハット, Piza Hatto)
A popular Britannian fast food delivery chain that C.C. orders from constantly. Pizza Hut sponsors Code Geass in Japan, and as such, their logo and paraphernalia of their branch mascot, Cheese-kun (チーズくん), make frequent appearances. Pizza Hut's logo is edited out the Engish dub, but their mascot isn't.[11]
Cheese-kun (チーズくん, Chiizu-Kun)
Official mascot character of the Area 11 branch of Pizza Hut, an amorphous orange blob made of mozzarella cheese. He is said to have been born in Italy, and has a girlfriend that looks just like him (Cheese-kun is distinguished by his black hat while his girlfriend wears a bow). C.C. collects a large amount of Cheese-kun paraphernalia, including a child-sized plush doll that she's often seen holding.[11] The Japanese branch of Pizza Hut uses Cheese-kun as its mascot, hence the frequent appearances of the character.
SoftRola
A Britannian telecommunications company that provides mobile phone service. Its name appears to be inspired by SoftBank and Motorola, who are not official sponsors of the program.[11]

Terminology

Honorary Britannian (名誉ブリタニア人, Meiyo Buritania-jin)
Citizens of the conquered Areas can become Honorary Britannians when they swear allegiance to the Britannia Empire. They attain the same legal rights as normal Britannians, but by no means are they free from prejudice and inequality.[1] Also, Honorary Britannian soldiers cannot achieve the same career as native Britannians as certain privileges are forbidden to them.
Imperial Calendar (皇暦, koureki, Abbrev. a.t.b)
The calendar used by the Britannia Empire. It started during the Roman Empire's first (foiled) attempt to invade Great Britain. The initials "a.t.b." mean 'Ascension Throne Britannia' and refer to the election of a Celtic super-leader by Britannian tribes to resist the invader.[1]
Numbers (ナンバーズ, Nanbāzu)
A derogatory general designation for the people of regions colonized by Britannia, e.g. "Elevens". Native inhabitants of a colony are categorically referred to by their "Area" number.[1]
Refrain (リフレイン, Rifurein)
An illegal and highly addictive deliriant that induces hallucinatory flashbacks to pleasant past experiences. Temporary behavioral abnormality is exhibited while under the influence. Once the drug wears off, the user is left unable to speak for some time. Under Britannian law, penalization for possession is comparable to that associated with narcotics in the real world.[20] Prior to a crackdown executed by Cornelia, it was smuggled into Area 11 from the Chinese Federation by way of the Kyūshū Route (キュウシュウルート).[11]
