Warning: nerdiness ahead
Hello all! This is my first post to this community, even though I've been lurking for several weeks.
Unfortunately, I bear no gifts. Instead I have a transcription of what I thought is interesting in ep.7 on Suzaku's textbook.
The dots represent missing text and brackets represent my own words.
"... of Henry IX, son of the great [Elizabeth I?]... flourished as never before.
While other European countries stagnated assailed by waves of people's revolutions and parliamentarization, England held fast to absolute monarchy, and saw continued development through the reigns of King Henry X and Edward VI thanks to the wealth produced by the New World."
This tells us that Britannia came from an England that never gave way to constitutional monarchy. From the sounds of it in ep.3 and here, Queen Elizabeth I did marry and had a son named Henry IX, who doesn't actually exist in our world. So there would've been no Act of Union between Scotland and England and the English Civil War would not have happened. The kings after him are pretty powerful rulers too and that could be why the American revolution didn't happen or was won by the British.
Sorry for the extreme nerdiness there, but I've always liked British royal family history, even fictional ones. ^^;; I hope it's not too spam-ish.
By the way am I the only one who is grateful that they have someone who knows English to write these things?

I assumed it was a future world too until ep. 3 came along and read Henry IX in the sub, which got me kind of suspicious. But this passage definitely explains things.
I like how it is AU too. ^_^
