Re a.t.b.: *nod* their English skills (or lack thereof) is something to take into consideration. I am hoping that they consulted someone who is skilled in English about this though. Judging from the passage I transcribed, they do have someone who knows it well, unless they hired a professional translator?
Re succession: Yeah, I figured out it was ranking by mother after my earlier post. Maybe all of the Emperor's wives are dubbed Empresses?
semi-regular/foreseen skirmish, or an all-out frontal attack
I say skirmish. The areas west of Egypt had all been European territory while Britain took over Egypt at some point. Assuming those territories never gained their independence, EU can be squabbling with Britannia in a semi-regular fashion for Suez Canal.
Re transportation to China: So she is still talking about the drug and plans to send it over to China. American could be Area 1, or just North America. Canada was called British North America. I can't see either of them being just an Area though.
Re Ashford: Yeah, I can see the Emperor disposing him after his mission was completed. As for cultivating the two royals...maybe? If he can see potential in Lelouch... but they are both dead on paper, so it's rather optimistic of Ashford to think that way.

That sounds entirely plausible to me. :D
