It also involves anything having to do with high-energy radiation energy. X-rays and such.
Blame the dice, not me. Although China had a really good roll this turn as well.
Most of Britannia's rolls have just been in the 'moderately good' range... with a few poor ones.
The Brit. infantry unit rolling against the MEF invasion rolled very badly, for example. Britannian navy vs. the MEF navy went critical even with MEF's modifiers for sneak attack.
Signatory?

Hello Indonesia, you seem to have a pirate problem, want to collab with us? You get protection, we get to buy stuff from you?
So next turn we send our admiral to Indonesia with our fleet to protect convoys so we can get hire Indonesia sailors to man the rest of our ships (as an Archipelago nation, there'll be A LOT of sailors of varying skill levels. That also means that Indonesia should be heavily invested in their navy. That pirates manages to hijack them means that either they have tech that overpowers a Nation's navy (granted that nation mostly have last generation technology) or the pirates have someone feeding them information on military patrol routes and such).
Setting up a resupply base in Indonesia (or more accurately Nunally's island near New Guinea) would also be great as that would be a place where we can trade much more easily due to being right next to a neutral nation and not in the middle of the Pacific. Buying supplies like food for our invasion of Australia and their pirate den is much cheaper with buying locally with Duke Statdfelt giving us a discount than shipping from Britannia or a nearby Area. Duke Statdfelt can handle the supply lines and maybe buy land in Indonesia to make a weapons factory to make ammunition for our campaign.
While that is happening, our ninjas will infiltrate the pirates and prove once and for all that ninjas are better than pirates. Opening diplo-relations wih Indonesia would also be really important as we are going to be neighbors in the future once we annex Australia and Nunnaly is literally their neighbor with her island. So next turn we focus hard on Indonesia to get closer to invading Australia. Bonus is that Indonesia has a lot of beaches for a Beach Omake episode ^u^)

I think we need to recruit the sailors before we start any combat operations and protecting ships from pirates is one, at least in my opinion. One part of our boats is unmanned and the other run on a skeleton crew. Not the best or even good conditions to start something.

That's why we go to Indonesia, to hire their sailors. As an Archipelago, sailors are going to be everywhere. They'll need to be trained up but they will be cheap, have motivation to help us deal with the pirates, and help open diplomatic relations with Indonesia by hiring their population.

There is quite good possibility of us conquering Indonesia down the line you know, so recruiting from there isn't best idea, if you seek cheep work force there are plenty of Areas in pacific and near the sea with people willing to work under us.
We know thanks to the Walpurgis club that pirate fleets are being influenced to attack us to get at our scientist by the Organization.
We can't afford to send our ships so far away and for so long to escort trade vessels when we need them to defend and patrol our Island.
What we need to do is buy more ships or wait for more pirates to attack us and scavenge their ships, get more crew to sail our ships and also look to improve our sailors competency or get some jets for long range recon and bombing runs on pirate bases since I doubt they have Anti-Air guns.

...you want to hire sailors from a different country for military operations? This is not a good idea. Firstly Britannia has already issues with immigrants, example being our admiral. They don´t allow Numbers or Honorary Britannian in high positions without proof of loyalty, but you want to hire complete foreigners into our military service. This will not only wex some of the utter racist in Britannia, but also many of our own potential allies. Why give such an honor of serving a prince to some ragtag bunch of foreign commoners? Furthermore, one of the prime things a massive empire like Britannia has is manpower. There will be more than enough personal we could recruit from inside our own borders. Most of them will even have military training, one more thing they have which puts them above using foreign sailors.
Using foreign sailors for our own military units, while we could easily recruit from Britannian forces, is not a good idea. They could have spies among their ranks, turn against us if we do something against their homeland, be in league with the pirates and require far more resources spend on them than the other alternative.

Ok, maybe I'm a bit biased
We should make sure to send our fleet out to show the flag. Escort some shipping, patrol our waters that sort of thing. The new sailors we get will need the experience and we might as well buff us our reputation as someone who deals with disruptive elements while we are at it.
First traitors, now pirates.
The fact that they see themselves as a superpower is rather pitiable.

Well that and they expected the EU and CF to back them up and were not prepared for the amount of blitzkrieg Knightmares allow. War was over before the EU and CF could intervene.

Also because Charles is a canny bastard: he diverted all his Knights and his Flagship fleet to the Indian and African fronts. Then he sent two of his children as "hostages".
No one saw it coming partly because they didn't expect him to invade without his Knights and with his children in the way.

The difference between Britannia and EU is striking. In the EU's case they are putting way too much stock into subpar efforts which highlights a danger of democracy in that it is easy to corrupt and easy to do it in a manner that is not obvious. The leaders of a democracy are generally leaders because they got elected not because they are actually good at their jobs. On the other hand in Britannia's case the leaders are there because they were appointed or got it through maneuvering and their own power. This is also not great however because just the fact Britannia still exists means that its leaders have to be strong but in the process a lot of people get trampled down in their pursuit of power leading to their continuation of rule becoming unstable. So as it is portrayed from this story democracy is fair and stable but tends to be ineffectual while Britannia style Darwinism leads to an unstable and unequal risky system with a strong leader. If you look back countries with dictators or monarchy tend to fail due to their leaders ineptitude while democracy leads to stable growth.
So Charles if he wants a dynasty needs either to eliminate most rivals or has to tighten the controls on his own government.
On that matter though would mayors and members of the lower house of representatives in parliament still be democratically elected in Britannia.

Charles already did the former by killing all the people against him during the Emblem of Blood. As for the latter, well that is what Schiezal is attempting to do. He is the Prime Minister back by the Labour Party, which funnily wants to increase the Emperors power.
So, how did the western power handled the world in Geass universe anyway? Was Africa, Middle East, India and Southeast Asia colonized and just recently declared their independence as nation states or are they just less developed, but mostly survived as a nation state without being subjugated by the European power?

It depends entirely on which area of the world you're talking about. The EU pursued a lighter-touch colonial system in Africa, Britannia sold India to the newly-formed Chinese Federation during the aftermath of them being kicked out of Europe. SE Asian colonies never got much of a start outside of the Spanish and Portuguese ones that predate Napoleon. There was a large amount of missionary work done, but not much else besides trade.
Honestly, this series of questions is worth a massive 5k+ info dump all on its own... which I'll get to eventually. Probably in small pieces by geographic relevance.
In answer, briefly, outside of South American there hasn't been much of traditional colonial development. The Middle East, in particular, has been largely stable after the breakup of the Ottoman Empire without the meddling of Oil-Hungry foreign powers. They're still behind technologically, yes, but the MEF is fairly cohesive and stable for such a young superstate (50 years old or so).

Largest land sale in history.
Albeit, technically, the English Crown purchased/traded the land from the East-India Company for what we would recognize as the state of Texas, then sold the sub-continent to China.
There are, to this day, remnants of 'Company Rule' in the southernmost part of the homeland, with a great number of nobles tracing their lineage back to a high ranking officer in the East India company. It's a common joke to consider the Grand Duchy of Texas both part of the homeland and not, humorously anyway.
The more things change, after all...
It's a work in progress...
...still to this day.

Hmm, how does that affect Japan then? Japan modernize rapidly because they saw what was happening to the rest of the world by western power, and that was triggered by Perry's Black Ship where US threaten them to open up trade or face war.
Do Brittania take over OTL US in their role, or do they now have a better relationship in that both Brittania and Japan doesn't particularly like the European power and made Alliance and help build up Japan to increase their sphere of influence in Asia?
Hell, if Imperial Japan exist, how is the Eunuch controlled China isn't missing an entire chunk of territory in East Asia from Japan's expansion?

Like - just - over the Himalayas? The PRC can barely handle Tibet, and India has nearly the same amount of people as literally all of China! They must be the most populous nation in the world by orders of magnitude!
Man, conquering our own chunk of Southeast Asia is sounding easier and easier the more I hear.
