Social Issues in Holy Britannian Empire from Code Geass

Society of Holy Britannian Empire in Code Geass have a lot of issues with it.

Just in the first episode Capitan of Clovis personal unit intended to kill Lelouch just because he was in the wrong place in the wrong time. In general Britannias' killing people casually and blaming it on terrorists, even if said people are Britannian students.

Then there is Clovis himself who kidnapped CC, kept it secret from the rest of the government and royal family. Clovis was running experiments on her in order to figure out how her immortality works and wanted to use this power to knife his way in power hierarchy.

Then when terrorists accidently captured the vehicle that was transporting CC, he ordered to slaughter all who got chance to witness her, because keeping his secret is more important that lives of many innocents.

Just from that alone one can conclude that it is a deeply flawed society that casually kills people for political reasons. When that nearly cost Lelouch his life twice, he decided to do something about it.

First time was when Charles decided to invade Japan, knowing Lelouch and Nunnally could be executed by Japanese in retaliation. Japanese spared him back then. In the Clovis Personal Unit incident, he only survived because of CC.

As I mentioned before Lelouch was using Nunnally as an excuse for his actions. The real reason is the one I wrote above.
