Britannia's Origins?

[eire-endellion.livejournal.com]

Never mind, problem solved =D

So I was watching R2, and when the video paused to load, I noticed something strange about the opening introduction. 

The Empire started in America?

Now, I'm not the most observant of people, so I could've missed something while I was watching. However, I thought that Britannia started in, well, Europe. Can someone please direct me to some information to ease my confused mind?

Sorry if this is a repost, or against the rules, or something ^^; New to the community and LJ in general.

The more I stare at that, the more I wonder if Sunrise is just reusing the 00 maps with some slight alterations. Really, grouping all the Americas together like that? But oh well, gb2 history, Sunrise.

And really, wouldn't Britannia have large chunks of Africa as well?

Not necessarily.
Africa was divided up by Europe, which booted out Britannia by that time.

And considering that Britannia conquered both Americas, a large scale effort must have been put down when conquering the rest of North America and South America.

Sunrise is known for recycling, I wouldn't be surprised if the mechas suddenly turned Gundams... *shot*
