Er, my mistake with English. The Japanese don't equate "Holy Calendar" with "after the battle", but they do with "a.t.b.". I was trying to say that since Holy Calendar = atb, it'd be really weird if atb = after the battle. It could sort of work if the battle was some sort of a holy battle (and if it's Ragnarok, it better be) but that's relying on the creator's English skills, at best.
Yeah, they seem to refer to each other by their claims, though it seems the better claimants used their xth Prince/Princess listing instead. Possibly by the date of marriage/wife ranking for their mothers? Marianne was Empress, sure, but we have no idea what they call--say--Schneizel's mother. It could be by rights of succession according to parentage first, age later.
I only watched Ep. 9 once because work piled (it sucks, believe me) but that's really interesting. So the EU wasn't just sitting around powerless, after all. They really seemed to be in a stage of Unhappy with their neighbours. The question is, is this a semi-regular/foreseen skirmish, or an all-out frontal attack? And there's the importance of the Suez Canal...if Britannia's shipping lines need to go around there...I'll have to look at the map first, though.
I thought Britannian transportation to China would be easy. After all, they have Japan, and Japan is quite close to China. If Britannia still rules the waves, getting the drug from America (what name would that area use, I wonder) shouldn't be difficult.
