I see. Anyways, I've published Khans and Crosses so you could use parts of that TL for your Code Geass TL, but it's not yet completed.
AH Challenge: Let's make a realistic Code Geass timeline!
- Thread starter TNF
- Start date
New material has been released which implies a retcon of the whole Napoleon winning thing.
Nappy was declared a tyrant and traitor at some point, and executed. The revolution was spread, became known as the European Revolution, which ended with the formation of the European Union (of Revolutionary Republics apparently).
So Napoleon didn't win. The Revolution won.

Which, of course, makes the whole deal even more implausible. I think I wrote a blog post on all the other things that are wrong with Akito, but I can't be bothered to find it.
I don't know if a second episode has been published since, but this concerns itself exclusively with the first OVA. Also, it's highly subjective and focuses quite a bit on how the war is portrayed, which counts for Akito even more than for the original series, I'd say -- where the lack of air power is justified by fighting a guerilla war.
Don't pay attention to the borders, it's just the artists being lazy. Nobody is ever going to do research on how hypothethical borders might look when they are going to show them for all of two seconds, the avarage viewer doesn't really care about that.
As for Britannia attacking from Russia, that's something always bothered me. I delude myself thinking that instead of attacking from Alaska and crossing the enterity of Siberia, they just convinced Russia to switch sides and then the EU sent troops to aid the EU-loyalists. Or something.
In any case, I've always found any American(Britannian)-European (total) War to be difficult to portray in any AH.
Also maybe Britannia didn't have any bombers in range >_>

All Hail Britannia
Here's a realistic CG timeline I founded on Deviantart:
"All Hail Britannia" by Carpathia13
"I mean the notion that the Celts of Britain somehow united under some kind of super king and then defeated Julius freaking Caesar is laughable. Caesar’s conquest of Britain amounted to him walking around Kent for a few months beating the snot out of the locals before returning to Gaul. This was all written down and recorded by the Romans at the time.
Supposedly the currently rulers trace their lineage back to this mega king and that’s what makes them so damned special. Under the mega king they then defeated the Saxon invasions and all the other invasions throughout time. How are there so many blonds in England if they kept the Saxons out? English/British culture would be distinctly Celtic, nothing like it was when Napoleon came knocking and certainly nothing like the evil it is today.
It gets worse, don’t worry. Elizabeth I apparently had some super-secret toy boy and a bastard son who kept the Tudors bloodline going and gave a bunch of powers to the aristocrat families that happened to flee with George in 1806. As a cursory glance at the history pages will tell you, she didn’t, she died alone and childless and that was the end of the Tudors
No, like every tyranny before it the Holy Britannian Empire has rewritten its history to convince itself and others that it is something special. This is to convince themselves that they aren’t just the shattered remnants of a nation that couldn’t keep the Frenchman out. Sure they may convince themselves sometimes but they’re a joke to the rest of us."

Hmmm... Be careful out there in necroing this thread. 
It's an offense on this board. Though I'm sure you don't mean it. Nevertheless, now that this was necro'ed... I'm curious about this work. Looks legit. Anyway, it's not like the attempt of making such a timeline would be ever finished! A lot have their ideas into it.

Why "necro"? Is it really bad? What is the term behind it for some threads that are out of date?
If "necro" is such a big deal, then what about those threads that have only one post and never had been updated for more than 5 years? Does that count as an "offense"?
Is the reason we have "necro" law is because the site has clutter problems? I mean is it due to having so many threads that it may cramp the site?
If this is a big deal for even the smallest threads, then how do you explain to Historyman 14 if he hears about this and all the threads he made so very recently could potentially be "necro" for being neglected?

Interesting to note is that the events of Code Geass happen in 2017-2018. Director Goro Taniguchi said that it is up to the viewers to determine how they want to interpret the end, but that he himself enjoys to see it as a happy ending. It's even mentioned somewhere on the main fan forum, http://codegeassforum.com/
The writer did acknowledge that Lelouch expired when he had been stabbed by Sukazu(which was fairly obvious to everybody) but he never mentioned that Lelouch was dead in each other form and that he isn't coming back. He could have easily said that and could've ended the theories of him being alive then and there. Moreover his hesitation to specifically mention Lelouch's fate along with the manager's announcement that 'it is up to the viewers to decide Lelouch's destiny', does point to the fact that Lelouch's code got activated after dying by Suzaku's hands and he had been resurrected as an immortal only like C.C.

Ok, now that it has been necro'ed.... I would like to warn you @Ondreyevich that perhaps as a new member that you are not aware of "thread necromancy". Threads that tend to be idle for more than a year, even more than half a year, I believe four months is standard, is largely left alone unless there is something relevant to be added to the discussion of the thread by somebody, usually first preference coming from the creator/owner of the thread.
Unfortunately on your case, you did not add anything of relevance at all and there was no activity from this thread since 2014. This thread is largely about "making a realistic Code Geass timeline", not a Code Geass fan thread. The 2017-2018 period of Code Geass events is also not in A.D. but in the fictional A.T.B. which starts in 54 BC. Code Geass happened in the 60s in the Gregorian calendar.
Anyway... Your topic of discussion is more related to the latter, than to the former; so you did not have a solid case of bringing this thread back from the dead.
Just a fair warning. I don't think the mods will ban you right away.
Welcome to the site. Don't get discouraged. I did this before as well 6 years ago when I was new here.
I suggest that if someone has a solid proposal of a Code Geass alternative timeline that it's better to create a new thread than keeping this one alive.
I don't know. It depends on the mods' decision.

I`ll give it a shot . [no geass or the immortality code ]
First, we must erase the absurdities of the official timeline Second, we must add elements to make the timeline realistic , these are presented in the timeline.
1. celtic super-king
2. Glorianna and her bastard son
3. indian unification with china
4. Napoleon...
5. A.T.B calendar
The timeline

Mary stuart is now the queen of scots , the first queen regnant of Scotland , As she is a baby her crown is left in the hands of the protestant lord Arran , He has no objection to king Henry VIII`s proposal that the babe queen marry his son prince Edward.
In 1547 Henry the eight dies , The new king is Edward VI .
In 1558 King Edward VI , now 21 years old , and Queen Mary, now 16 years old, are wed thus uniting england and scotland under Protestant monarchs
British colonization of the eastern north-american coast begins sooner. circa 1565
Fastforwarding to the second half of the 17th century , the King of England, Scotland and Ireland is Charles III Tudor.
The british colonies now extend from florida to quebec to hudson bay and are the most populated european settlements , In this alternate British north america there is an abundance of landed aristocrats .
2. Formation of the North-american monarchy
1670-1720. On the island of great britain disagreement between crown and parliament on the nature of the state and the power of the monarch leads to civil war .
In 1675 The royalists lose , king Charles III is executed by the parliamentarians , and great britain and ireland are ruled by the parliament . King Charles IIIs only legitimate child
Elizabeth Tudor flees to Maryland . Subsequently royalists seek refuge in north america
There is also an alternate version of Oliver Cromwell , this great man is a fervent anti-monarchist and He proclaims the republican 'Commonwealth of Albion'.
In North-america Elizabeth Tudor dies childless and passes the Royal authority to Richard von Britannia Duke of Maryland .
At the start of the 18th century on christmass day a continental congress made up of North-american nobility and clergy and the aristocratic and clerical refugees from britain crowns Richard von Britannia
HOLY BRITANNIAN EMPEROR . Holy= affirming the divine right of the monarch.
3. The state of France and the formation of the European union
At the start of the 18th century there would be two powerful protestant republics in western europe : The Albionic commonwealth and the dutch republic
1790 -1830 Their neighbour France is an absolutist catholic monarchy , By the end of the 18th century and the start of the 19th it is indebted , bankrupt and starving
The ancient Kingdom of France collapses its royal family is murdered and atheist revolutionaries create a republic .
The Republic of france has immense success against Prussia , Austria and Spain in its first years . By 1815 it has created French-style republics in Germany, Iberia, Italy and Denmark .
The year is 1817 AD Year 24 of the french republican calendar France and the now french-influenced Dutch republic , french client republics in iberia, italy, germany and denmark
create the Confederacy of Europe . In the 1840s under the threat of invasion and isolation the albionic commonwealth joins the Confederacy .
4. The Holy Britannian Empire and its conquest of the new world
18th century
The new state saw itself as the only legitimate successor of the Kingdoms of England-ireland and Scotland, in its infancy it underwent a cultural reformation
, akin to the First great awakening and manifest destiny , influenced by it being a reactionary state to anti-monarchism
Emperor Richard von Britannia decrees the foundation of the Empire to be : CHURCH ; NATION ; MONARCHY
During the 18th century the HBE allied itself with the kingdom of france in its wars against Spain and acquired spanish north america
During the French revolutionary wars the HBE acquired french lands in the new world
In 1810 The Holy Britannian Empire is constituted solely by the North American Continent
It is 1835 year of our lord South America is made of Republics inspired either by France or Albion .
On the 3rd of may 1835 Brutus von Britannia Emperor of the Holy Britannian Empire declares war on the republic of Columbia
this is the start of the Britannian Conquest of South America it ends with the annexation of the republic of Argentina in 1893 .
