It's about earth on the near future (2017 and forward) with many political differences. For one, three powers share the control of Earth: The Holy Empire of Britannia (a clear nod at the colonial british empire, which surprisingly don't count with the british isles, instead, being the whole America, from north to south), China and European Union. Brittania is the most powerful of those powers and boasts a fantastic military. Among their conquests, there's Japan, renamed Area 11 and the japanese now called Elevens. So, one britannian boy, Lelouch Lamperouge, a chess master, finds himself in a middle of an eleven terrorist attack against Brittania and is awarded with a special power called Geass, which basically let him mind control anyone through visual contact. Seeing the opportunity, he allies himself with the terrorists to defeat Brittania and, more especifically, it's Emperor.
