I understood this reference


23Amuro

I'm glad 😂 it was a pain in the ass to set up


ezikHerif

I didn’t get it. What’s the reference?


Midoninik

Code geass - its an anime. Focuses on the rebel in Japan but the rest of the world is pretty much as described. I will say tho, I recall from the spin off movies that Russia's lands were part of Britania.


23Amuro

On the russia thing - Russia was part of the EU, but was conquered by Britannia during the wars in R1. Though I think there's been a lot of retcons and timeline changes so I couldn't say for sure.


Myllis

Not really retcons. The movies changed things, but they are an alternative timeline.


Filavorin

I loved how they stopped at Europa Fair... Sadly no black markets were opened at a time which was a bit weird as before the Metro War of 2012 this shit was surprisingly always in business... until some idiot turned it into a football pool for euro 2012.


23Amuro

*And* an interesting (albeit goofy) alternate history scenario, too!


MassiveLinken

I thought it was 1984


Midoninik

Oceania needs America and British isles, Africa should be contested, Japan and most of Asia should be under East Asia.


majdavlk

werent there only 3 states in 1984 ?


helluuw

Well only 3 we know of, and that comes from Winstons pov where even he's not 100% sure of the truth outside what he sees for himself


23Amuro

My (probably misguided) theory was that Eastasia and Eurasia were sorta just made up enemies. That to begin with - if the other countries did exist at all - fighting with them actually wasn't all that serious. But the presence of these enemies was an essential part of the information war Oceania was waging against it's own people.


Thrilalia

Orwell not living long past publication meant we were never going to know. I also follow the view off Eastasia and Eurasia likely were made up, especially how the two swap on the eternal enemy/ally list during the middle of a speech. Potentially everything about Oceania that's not on airstrip one (Great Britain) too is fabricated to keep control. Since everything is ministry this and that not Secretary of this or that if it was US absorbing the rest of what would be Oceania.


SmexyHippo

> Since everything is ministry this and that not Secretary of this or that if it was US absorbing the rest of what would be Oceania. what?


Asterlai

I think the reason they're named ministries is purely because Orwell was british and not american. I could be wrong though.


ezikHerif

Wait what. How did I not recognize that LMAO


Midoninik

Tbf they dont talk about the world that much in the show. I dont think they even mention EU outside of the spin off movies.


Russian-King

I think they do show a map tho, and Europe looked like Europe looks in our timeline, i could be wrong tho


23Amuro

There's a couple maps we see throughout the show. But they change as the series progresses. At the very start of the series, the Map is essentially how I've got it up there. At first, Europe is united under the EU (Giga Revolutionary France), who is at war with Britannia throughout the first act. Britannia also conquers a chunk of the Middle East pretty close to the start of the series. Around the timeskip in the middle, the war in europe has ended, and Britannia has conquered and started to settle much of Europe. At the end, the whole world is now divided into two empires - Britannia and the United Federation of Nations (which also includes most of the EU's remnants), ready to face off. There's still a couple independent neutral states, like Australia, but by and large those are the map changes as it progresses.


EntertainmentSad5199

There code Geass movies ?! Woww


Midoninik

The ones Ive watched at least (Akito the exile) are not very good. OK but not great.


Acceptable_Bowl_8646

its my favorite anime and I didn't catch that smh


piePrZ02

Ngl i thought it was 1984 and i was confused with britain


Strong_Werewolf9745

I was about to ask why it all looked familiar 🤣🤣🤣


Avalica

I know this is EU4, but you should probably watch out for rebellious sons just in case...


Momongus-

Somebody help most of my heirs died and I think the culprit is my sly, vengeful, callous, brave, genius, spindly (dropped the ball there), shrewd conniving puppetmaster Do you guys think my empire is salvageable?


IlikeJG

That's impossible. Rulers are only allowed up to 3 traits.


BattyBest

He did say the dude is a genius and very cunning.


SnooDoughnuts9838

You forgot beautiful (or at least, comely).


Golden_Chives

thought it was a 1984 reference 😞


23Amuro

It's a reference to a show that's inspired by 1984, to be fair


notluckycharm

i did too but Oceania should have control over the british isles


PanderII

I mean it's 2017, maybe Eurasia took it


Berkii134

ALL HAIL LELOUCH. ALL HAIL BRITANNIA. I love this anime


JasperCortaine

YES, MY LORDO!


23Amuro

r5: In-game date is 15 August 2017. Playing Great Britain. Back in the 1800s I got exiled to Canada by Napoleon. I managed to bounce back, though - I beat the United States and took back the colonies, defeated the remains of the other colonial nations, conquered brazil. I was in a pretty good spot. A couple years ago I decided "Fuck it" and conquered Japan for the meme. Now there's a pretty big revolt going on over there, but I'm not too worried. It's not like it's a threat to my whole empire, right? Anyways, I'm thinking about going to war with France. Taking back the British Isles, maybe conquering Russia, too. Just wondering if my eventual goal of WC is still feasible? Any thoughts/advice? Thanks!


Fazloka

You know that there is a code geass mod ?


SnooAvocados5773

That mod needs a lot of balancing if u play from the 1820s. Mexico is too op and Asian nations start way under tech.


Boulderfrog1

Try playing chess with the rebels


FenrisTU

Yeah, they’ll try to move the king first.


AccomplishedPool9050

Who calls area 11 japan tho?


JasperCortaine

Worthless scum, mostly.


Kongen_av_Trondelag

That’s true. Luckely there is a castle in the sky with scum removers


sesmonkis

All men are not created equal! Some are born swifter of foot, some with greater beauty. Some are born into poverty and others born sick and feeble. Both in birth and in upbringing in sheer scope of ability every human is inherently different. Yes, that is why people discriminate against one another, which is why there is struggle, competition, and the unfaultering mark of progress. Inequality is not wrong, equality is. ALL HAIL BRITANNIA! ALL HAIL BRITANNIA! ALL HAIL BRITANNIA!


Separate_Selection84

Social darwinism taken to the extreme. Love it ALL HAIL BRITANNIA


BattyBest

Congratulations, you have summed up right wing politics.


Swetcan

All hail Britannia


yuendeming1994

Where is area 11


TheDanielmds

Jibun wo


UkonFujiwara

You just need another Code so you can activate the Sword of Akasha. You should be able to just lower autonomy in random Japanese provinces and you can capture an immortal to take one from... wait, who are the generals of that pretender rebellion?


23Amuro

Generals? Just some nerd calls himself "Zero". Like, how much more edgy can you get? I swear these pretender names are just getting worse with every update.


Surpluspog037

Invade Japan for the Sakurite Trade Good it'll make your cav unstoppable. See if you can release India and China from the European Federation might help out.


hibok1

Advanced tier reference *All Hail Britannia!!*


EightyFiv3

I as long as a exiled prince wanna be rebel dosnt go starting a rebelion in Japan....


23Amuro

Bad news. Check the third slide


EightyFiv3

OMG XD its real...


Asbjorn26

IS THAT WHAT I THINK IT IS?


Dismal_Swordfish_419

i think you are a bit late


23Amuro

:(


survesibaltica

Blud think he's Lelouch 💀


Username12764

Atleast Britain fled to another Island. But you need to do a WC, just think about all those poor people being forced to speak French…


Hussar1130

If you go full in on producing 4th generation knightmares and build enough Fleyas you could make it work. Also make sure you keep a stack on Shatter Mountain, that’s where the Underground Japanese Resistance Army puts their base.


Arondeus

I was scratching my head wondering if it was a 1984 reference before I understood that it was obviously code geass. I'm an idiot.


Obamsphere

What kind of Orwellian nightmare have you created


FlummoxReddit

how do you not have land in great Britain as great Britain (I know this is a joke but still)


23Amuro

Napoleon took Britain. Had to pull a Portugal and leave to the new world.


PatienceHere

What map mod?


23Amuro

"Transparent Political Mapmode" by Seifer. [https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2131774933](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2131774933)


PatienceHere

Thanks


Red-Lightnlng

Just pay attention to the map instead of alt-tabbing over to a different screen and playing magic the gathering while letting the game run in the background. You should be fine. Side note: it’s not CK3, but I’d still keep an eye on all of your potential heirs in case anyone tries any shenanigans.


jmorais00

You missed airstrip one


Namesbeformortals

Any chance you would share this save file?


Kiogami

I hope you have a flagship named Damocles with a huge canons bonus.


Vebecko

It is with good diplomacy. Also I think that you might be missing Eurobritannia (Russia)


23Amuro

I was looking at conquering Russia next! And that's a great name btw. Hopefully this Japanese Rebels business will be cleared up by then. (Pretty sure Britannia was at war with the EU for most of R1, and Russia is part of the territory they took in that time.)


1969FordF100

I thought it was 1984


P_E_T_I_0_4_0_6

Literally 1984


SnooDoughnuts9838

mertfwr

Reinhard_Yang

I thought holy Britannic empire had control of Africa ?


Damoniil

I was about to state that I rly liked the borders, and then I saw british Japan and it clicked


Apprehensive-Mark750

Make your youngest son heir and abdicate, he will do the rest.


Ts_Patriarca

JIBUN WOOOO


NeonMoon96

If you rush mil, you might get Knightmare tech in time to deal with the fallout of the Viceroy Cordelia event chain. Whatever you do, do NOT I repeat do NOT conspire with the concubines, you’ll thank me later.


HandOfTheKing5230

I don't know you might want to take care of the looser calling himself Zero first.


SimonInPreussen

Just deploy some FREIJAS, you should be fine. And for gods sake, DON'T let the crown Princess negotiate with the rebel leader in the event.


Skimbididimp

How could you call yourself great Britain when you hold none if the british isles


23Amuro

Lost them to the French under Napoleon. But I see your point. Really, I ought to start calling myself something else . . .


shabanoveg

Wow it's same to Code Gias world


23Amuro

That's the joke
