Description
... Her Imperial and Royal Majesty, Nunnally, by the Grace of God of Britannia Empress, of Great Britain, France and Ireland Queen, of the Areas Sovereign, Defender of the Faith.This is not a painting (I can't really draw anything lol). Rather, it's a manipulation of the coronation portrait of HM Queen Victoria by Franz Xaver Winterhalter [link] and a beautiful painting by ~mtthwdlsy25 here on deviantArt, [link] . I claim no part of this for myself but the composition. It is a concept, not an artwork.
Code Geass is not mine.

Madame Butterfly, for many many years, then they had Cosi fan Tutti for one year but because it was not "that Japanese opera one" at the Japanese Gardens, no one liked it. Cowra prides its self on its links with Japan, but it really is a creepy thing, and very hollow it's hard to explain exactly...

"During World War II Cowra was the site of a prisoner of war (POW) camp. Most of the detainees were captured Japanese and Italian military personnel, On 5 August 1944, at least 545 Japanese POWs attempted a mass breakout from the camp. Simultaneously, other Japanese prisoners committed suicide, or were killed by their countrymen, inside the camp.
The actions of the POWs in storming machine gun posts, armed only with improvised weapons, showed what Prime Minister John Curtin described as a "suicidal disregard of life", and had no chance of success."
What.
Well, anyhow it's impressive that a town of 8,000 people stages opera at all ... though I'd prefer a Mozart opera over a Puccini one any time.

We don't, we get a touring company in to do it, as the thought of a Cowrethian actually doing anything more artistic than the local Musical and drama play is simply not on. Unless you can play rugby or cricket very well you are not considered human. I actually did not attend high school here, as I cannot and will not play a sport I was seen as some kind of traitor, and after 20 years it is still the same...

It is also a very fitting painting to accompany Britain's anthem from Code Geass itself, great work!

Indeed sir. For one, Her Majesty the Empress has a fraction of a smile, whereas, I believe Queen Victoria never smiled in her life xD

Smiling was improper at the time! If you smiled, it was almost as bad as displaying a centimetre of nude skin! (Though I've been told HM was indeed very much amused at everything and everyone, expressing it through roaring laughter).

She is also reported to have been quite kinky. Though she was. I mean, she had herself proclaimed Empress of India to avoid her daughter being higher in rank than she was!

Oh, well, she was Victorian, it goes without saying, she coined an age of sexual deviation and exploration, in her time period there was even a kind of 'Karma Sutra', all the men wore ties in it I believe. I always imagined that she was the sexually driven type, Edward the Seventh must have taken after his mother then, all those trips to France... xD

Queen Elizabeth, rather. A Queen Elizabeth who failed to win against the Armada AND gave birth to the bastard of an unknown father. At least the former will be removed from her image when she coups against Schneizel and sends Faramond to Bogota for peace negotiations.

Still, what would happen once the public or some very perceptive journalist realizes that Faramond was an incestuous lovechild with the Demon?

All hell's breaking loose. Faramond's head is on the block within three days. If he is dead already, Faramond's mausoleum is torn down, his body impaled, beheaded and his mouth filled with garlic for good measure. He is then burned and his ashes thrown into whatever river is far, far away. If it is in my FF's canon, everyone goes very confused over how the son of the demon could do a good thing. Then they do the same as in option two.
