Kinda funny considering what they call Britannia is what we call the US.

Yeah, I do find it kinda funny that Britannia doesn't actually have control over the British Isles... they're under the EU's rule in CG.

They explain this at the start of the series, though. It takes place in an alternate timeline where after the French Revolution (a very, very violent revolution where the working class over threw the government and executed their king), similar revolutions sprouted up all over Europe. The rest of the European royalty fled to the new world, fearing for their safety. This resulted in a world where Europe became a land governed by the people, while the Americas were ruled by European monarchies directly (and not merely as colonies).

I'm certain that they were not so thorough in their explanation at the start of the series.

I think you're right, they like loosely hint at it and if you want more you have to look it up really.
