The Steam Age (Map Game)

What if steam had been the dominant force that developed in the world? If the technological age and the steam age developed side by side?

This map game will start during the Victorian Era in 1850. These maps are from the steamopera by Kristian Järventaus This article might help you when deciding on gadgets and technology to use A Guide to Steampunk Gadgets and Technology

Each nation that has an OTL counterpart is still ruled by that same person (mostly) (doesn't have to have the same form of government)

If your nation wasn't independent at the time then make up a leader.

''' Turns will now begin at 0:00 UTC. '''

What Steampunk Is
First and foremost, steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction in which steam power is heavily utilized. Perhaps better summed up as 'retro-futuristic', it has a heavy influence of Victorianism and is generally set in an alternative universe in which steam power remains the most mainstream source of power. This affects everything, from vehicles to weapons to home appliances to music to even flying machines. It is a completely different culture and lifestyle from what we live today or even what people back in the day lived.

Steampunk, while sometimes elegant at the same time, is gritty and dirty. People working on their various contraptions tend to get dirty and there is a lot of smoke blown around. It has an industrious atmosphere of wealthy upper-class people and lower-class people living in squalor, much like in 19th century Britain. This leads to a rise in piracy; in this case, the pirates take to the air, not to the sea.

What Steampunk is Not:
Think outside the box, people, but keep inside the steampunk atmosphere.
 * Magic (That includes alchemy and other assorted enchantments)
 * Contemporary future
 * Random object + some unnecessary gears
 * Dieselpunk
 * Always Gothic
 * Always in the Air
 * Always in Britain

Colonizing
There is no limit to where a nation can colonize either, but it is limited to the current tech level of each nation.

Mods
There will be 5 mods all together. 4 will be regional mods and the other will be checking the regional mods and any other disputes.

I will be doing mod events specific to each mod nation that is the same as its regional mod Jbwncster (talk) 01:22, February 21, 2014 (UTC)

1850
the new turn will begin at 0:00 am UTC each day-extending the first turn til 12am UTC on February 25th. All you own is the land in europe so far  Jbwncster   (Talk)
 * Telegraph cable under English channel to The Technocratic Republic of Netherlands is built
 * First steam battleship, Le Napoleon, is launched from The Conciliary Union of France
 *  The Commonwealth of Japan has first unsuccessful expedition to Antarctica 
 * Tierra Platina becomes the first South American nation to import telegraph equipment from Europe
 * The Kingdom of Cuba starts talks of an alliance with Panama
 * Preussia: The Kingdom of Preussia, shocked by the arrival of Le Napoleon, begins research into the technology. Meanwhile, supply bases are set up in Afghanistan, Meleysia and Manchuria. But the distances prove to be troublesome, especially from Afghanistan to Europe. A midway point is searched for. An alliance is requested from the Danube.
 * Meleysia: Military and economy expanded.
 * Manchuria: Military and economy expanded.
 * Afghanistan: Military and economy expanded.
 * Indonesian Incorporated Probationary Territories- The Council begins to research faster airships to make travel time between each territory shorter. Also the first Aerodome for military ships is built on Sumatra. The Territorial President, Trai Putra Ngo, asks The Kingdom of Preussa if they'd allow a telegraph line from Sumatra to Meleysia across the Malacca Strait built by The Indonesian Incorporated Probationary Territories. (needs Preussia response). The IPT asks for an alliance with The Kingdom of Siam.(need mod response)
 * South India- Military and economy is expanded
 * Ceylon- Military and economy is expanded
 * Sumatra- Military and economy is expanded
 * Java- Military and economy is expanded
 * Borneo- Military and economy is expanded
 * New Holland- Military and economy is expanded
 * New Zealand- Military and economy is expanded
 * South China- Military and economy is expanded
 * Assam- Military and economy is expanded
 * Ciuxu- Military and economy is expanded
 * Preussia Dip: the telegraph will be allowed.
 * Kingdom of Siam Dip (Mod response): We accept the alliance offer.
 * Colombia: Seing the alliance offer'd by the cubans to panama the govenrment decides to move fast and offers the panamanians military protection and economic support if they rejoin the republic, under an autonomous region as part of the great colombian republic, they would keep a relatively separated government only responding to the president of the republic. (Mod response) The president Juan Antonio de Salazar orders the ships of the small colombian fleet to establish a perimeter on the panamenian republic to protect them in the given case of an invasion.miltary and navy are built up. while this following the platinian success we ask france and the Ruthenians to allow us to purchase a telegraph, and ask them for an alliance, while this mexico and peru are asked for a secret alliance. (Mexico and Peru response needed)
 * Naples: The King of Naples, hoping to reunite Italy, invades Sardinia. Several Kingdoms are offered an alliance, such as Prussia and the Rutherian Empire. With the arrival of Le Napoloan,  research begins on steam technology, and plans are laid to make a fleet of steam ships.
 * Preussian Dip: Alliance rejected, the Kingdom will not support unprovoked aggression.
 * Naples Dip: We respond by saying we are going to reunite Italy.
 * It's illogical to try and invade the Papal States first. The Papal States are the representatives of Catholicism and as such have the ability to ask for protection of Catholic nations. For example, Spain could easily use this to conquer you. Rather attack Sardinia or something. -Sky
 * Well, i guess a bit of PMIII is still in me.
 * Kingdom of Brazil: The Kingdom of Brazil has been spending much of its early years catching up with the science and technology of the rest of the world and it has been a success. A Brazillian gentleman scholar, observing the caterpillars in the Brazillian forests has begun working on a transport based on the caterpillar. This steam-powered transportation vehicle would have caterpillar-like legs and would be used to travel through rough terrain. An alliance is offered to Peru and the King funds the creation of shipyards and ships. Because of the massive amount of woodland in Brazil, plans are made for lumberyards all around the kingdom.
 * Peruvian Dip:Accepted.
 * Peru: Seeing the rest of the world develop new technology, the president of Peru wishes to catch up with the changing world. Research into steam based technology begins, and we ask foregin nations to aid us in development. The military is improved, and we foucus on exporting the natural resources of Peru, mainly copper and timber, to the world to better our economy.
 * Colombia: We offer an alliance to peru.
 * Peruvian Dip:Accepted.
 * Kingdom of Louisiane: The young king Louis XIX has decided it is for a change in Louisiane's economic future; he orders railroads to be built, and hopes to begin the slow process of catching-up to industrialized Europe. He invests much of the national revenue in modern rail systems, and to assist euntrapenuers in building new cotton mills along the fall-line.Traction engines that run on steam are under development as a possible way to increase production of cotton, and other cash crops.
 * Dominion of Virginia: We begin to develop new technlogies and begin to construct a railroad system to connect our country with technological advantages. We decide to send in an expedition to Antartica and we decide to consider building a cannon into space as a man by the name of Robert Beiner writes a novel known as Journey to the Earth's Moon. This project is inspired by said book and we begin to build up our military and establish trade. As president Fillmore Millard decides to go on a trip around Europe for the sake of establishing good relations with the nations that exist there.
 * Mexico:With the rise of technology at the turn of the 19th century there was mass upheaval between Spain and us, and we were granted our independents. the converatives and the liberals, the converatives wanting to hold on to tradition and the liberals wanting to progress toward the future. Soon military generals such as Santa Ana came into power and there were multiple rulers and the nation was in chaos. With the dust has now settled, with the Generalismos such as Santa Ana overthrown, and an Interim Government was establishand. During this Interim Period, there was gradual and grueling growth and eventually Benito Juarez, a leader against Santa Ana and part of the Interim Government, rose to power through the corruption and mess, and now is president. Benito Juarez looked back at the horros of the past and looked toward the promise of the future. His goal now is to make Mexico City the best city in the world, a center for enlightment, knowledge, and ideas. Thus he begins La Reforma, who's goal was the redistribution of land, seperation of church and state, and education for all. .We believe that education is the key to the future and thus schools and academies are set up. We also believe in freedom of speech, so that we can discuss ideas that will progress us as a nation as a whole. These disccusions are also recorded and published, so that they will be saved forever. The railroad is also built up so we will spread enlightenment toward all of Mexico, and soon the world. As a result of this railroad build up new towns are established and each standard town has farms, a school/church, a marketplace, homes, and a railroad station. The railroad is also connected to telegraph lines and thus telegraphs are being sent more often. Ports are also established in order to spread the enlightenment to the seas, and we are working toward spreading the englightenment toward the air.  With all these reforms, however, the growing threat of the Religious, the Rich, and Raiders arise and thus we create an elite army, The Enlightment Army, to counter these threats and progress our society towards the future. One of the key things to counter these movements is airships, once we control the air, we control the land and the seas.
 * Clipperton Island: Now that Port Clipper has been officially established we recieve wealth and ideas from Mexico, and we act as a resting point for ships and thus we supply them with food from local farms and ship maintance. Because of this, we become a merchant hub.
 * Grenadines: The Emperor in exile Maximillian, arrives and sets up a "palace" (military base) on the main island and he appeals to the religious and the conservatives to follow him. Those still loyal to Imperial Mexico build a few ports and farms. We set out to explore new lands and expand the Kingdom, preserving religious conservatism in this immoral age.
 * Kiev: We start to build a railroad system that connects our whole country, so that we can be united. The President Marko Sinchenko is shocked by the arrival France for the making of Le Napoleon, and begins research into the technology. We send an alliance to the Ottomans. Kiev nation builds up our economy, military, and ports. Our nation increases trade within our nation and with the Ottomans. Our nation builds Telegraph poles around each city to connect each city to each other. Factories start to build steam powerd guns in mass production for our military. All the road in our country are improved by putting down new back asphalt. Our mechanics start building prototype airships so that we could try flying to Antarctica, Africa, and Asia for exploration.
 * You are able to have airships, but they surely can't fly to Antarctica, you can continue producing them but the exploration will fail then. Also you can only do two things out of military economy and infrastructure so I leave it to you to decide what two things you are doing. -Sky
 * UK: We begin to construct a massive rail road between the cities and Ireland & Britain. With Le Napoleon constructed, we decide to counter it and build HMS Wellington, near equal size and also a steam battle ship like Le Napoleon. We begin to research into using our technology to make artificial limbs for the wealthy. We work on infrastructure and economy.
 * HMS Wellington? I see what you did there.
 * Netherlands: We ask France for the blueprint of the battleship Le Napoleon. Railroad and telegraph systems connecting all industrial centrums and the biggest citys are being made. Because every citizen in our country contributes to our scientific progression large steps are made in all fields, especially in aeronautics, communication and electricity. With the telegraph cable connecting our country and UK we hope to have better relations and ask them for a alliance.

1851
(Awaiting Mod Events for each region so there should be about 8 mod events per turn)

'''People, People. Any idiot can make a Paddle Steamer, which is all Le Napoleon is. Also, I am going to make an event for Europe, if that is OK...''' Jb replaced my post with some stupid crap, so I put it back Automatic Weapons are a no.
 * The Worlds Fair of 1851 is held in The Acratic Republic of Sardinia and brings ideas and prototypes of things for the home of the future and new modes of transportation. Deligates are sent by each nation and people from all over the world attend. (Lasts 5 days, boosts this nation +2 in infrastructure for 4 turns)
 * A company of three spies with unknown origins steal the blueprints for 'Le Napoleon'. Since they have been hunted by the French they each split the blueprints. One part is rumoured to be in England, another in Sweden and the third one in the United Kingdoms of the Danube. It is not known if the spies are from these nations, but it is expected that each nation will catch the spy and get a part of Le Napoleon's blueprints.
 * The French Ship, Le Napoleon, attempts it's first Voyage in the Open Sea, and hundreds cram onboard. It is halfway across the Med, when it catches fire, and sinks with all hands lost. Many in France begin to design Airships, rather than Steam Ships.
 * Kingdom of Naple; Realizing the sheer scale of the robbery of the Le Napoleon Blurprints, The King orders increased research into steam technology, and has his spies hunt for the theives in all the nations they have fled to, and others. We begin influnecing the Papal States, and open negoitions with all Italy to reunify into a Kingdom of Italy. Economic expansion begins. We field test our first Steam Paddler, KNS Ceaser, fitted with 12 guns. It is a success, but the king expresses intrest in land based steam power.
 * First off, the Le Napoleon catched fire and burnt. Secondly, even though you are bigger than the Papal States I don't really believe you can vassalize the religious ruler of half of Europe. Also you're not a major power 50 is too much for you -Sky
 * Dude, LMB wrote that after my turn.
 * Preussia: Delegates return from Sardinia and the Worlds Fair, eager to share what was presented. The United Kingdoms of the Danube is asked for an alliance between it and Preussia. In domestic news, a proposition to create a legislature, a Reichstag, to represent the distinct cultures and ethnic groups of the Kingdom gains steam with the population. König Fredrick is reluctant to get behind it, as it would mean relinquishing power, but the pressure increases. Research into naval technology continues, and towards the end of the year, the Königliche Marine lays the keel for the SMS Æther.
 * Manchuria: Military and economy expanded, trade requested from Japan.
 * Meleysia: Military and economy expanded.
 * Afghanistan: Military and economy expanded.
 * *Acadia: The Acadian Government sends its condolences to the French Government, about the theft of the plans. Acadian Scientists begin to work on a Steam Ship themselves. An Acadian Scientist begins working on a Trans-continental Railroad. The Brazilian Section of the World Fair is treated with great interest, as the Prototype "Caterpillar Tracks" vehicle is unveiled. 
 * Kingdom of Spain:  Seeing the desperation to discover steam power, the Kingdom of Spain start to create "Steam Cities", containing rows of steam factories with dormitaries in, and no houses. They mostly are built in the south-west, with the cleanere cities remaining in the North and East. Economic expansion and investment seems on the brink of a boom, but it is resting on the fate of the first grand steam engines.
 * No steam cities, not only wrong on multiple levels, but no nation is so advanced to build so many factories. -Sky
 * You are allowed to research how to speed up the production at factories which in the future can lead to "steam cities"
 * Kingdom of Brazil: We send our caterpillar tracks prototype to the World Fair. During these 5 days and during the travel the prototype has been under constant watch in order to keep it safe. With our lumbercamps spreading we work on roads and railroads in order to help transport such large amounts of wood. We work on our economy as we begin exporting our wood and multiple factories are being opened to create furniture and paper out of wood.
 * Peru: We continue to seek foregin aid in developing our nation. Inflence on West Amazonia (I'm assuming this is a republic), with Peru aiding many poloticans in securing office. Military and infrastructure imporve. We seek more trading partners.Domestic economy grows, with the government endorsing the creation of domestic work The South American League is proposed to Colombia and Brazil to further develop our alliances with them. We send government workers and enginerers. to the World's fair to observe the technology behind many new devices
 * ​Brazillian Diplomacy: We accept the SAL proposal.
 * Colombia: We agree as the brazilians have.
 * Kiev: The Worlds Fair of 1851 is held in The Acratic Republic of Sardinia and it brings ideas and prototypes of things for the home of the future and new modes of transportation. We send a team of scientists to The Acratic of Sardinia to take look at these new prototypes. We countinue to build a railroad system that connects our whole country, so that we can be united. Our mechanics start to build some steam ships for our navy. The first prototype airship is halfway completed. The military is upgrading due to the usage of steam guns. Our ports increase due to be able to fit more ships in each port.
 * Indonesian Incorporated Probationary Territories- The Council begins to build aerodomes in each major city to accomadate the start of commercial zepplin lines. The Territorial President decides to send 1 deligate from each territory to the Worlds Fair to examine the exhibits and also sets up an exhibit showcasing underground houses that don't get hot during the day and have an underground garden.
 * South India- Expands the ports
 * Ceylon- Military and economy is expanded
 * Sumatra- Military and economy is expanded
 * Java- Military and economy is expanded
 * Borneo- Military and economy is expanded
 * New Holland- Builds an Aerodome for military
 * New Zealand-Expands its ports
 * South China- Military and economy is expanded
 * Assam- Military and economy is expanded
 * Ciuxu- Military and economy is expanded
 * The Conciliary Republic of Chile We Start industrialization on our country we start making steam power generators in our country. We are seeking allies and trading partners for food and weapons. We send people to the Worlds Fair of 1851 to show our creation to the world. The steam powered automated cannon. We start work on our railroad from Cape Horn to San Miguel de Tucumán. We also start building up our navy and supplying our ships the new steam cannon. We send the kingdom of Brazil a trading request.
 * Dominion of Virginia: We send our space cannon proposal and prototype to the World Fair and during the fair, we decide to give it the highest level of security for the Cannon, fearing it could eventually fall into the wrong hands if we're not careful. We continue to construct the railroad and expand our military and economy around the world. President Millard continues his trip around Europe and we begin to create automatic weapons, and we also present the "machine gun" which fires multiple rounds automatically and with rapid fire.
 * Kingdom of Louisiane: An inventor turned mad-scientist, Constant Villeneuve the inheritor of a vast estate and a huge family treasure, demonstrates his “mobile home,” a house which he has mounted to the top of a chassis powered by a large steam engine. The home is deemed the revolution of a decade, and many herald the invention as the trademark of the future. The king even takes interest, but for a different reason. He secretly orders his chief generals to begin developing weaponized traction platforms. The platforms are Top Secret, and are to be only seen by a select few. In more mundane news more watermills are built on the fall line, and traction engines are researched for agricultural purposes. We also send a trade agreement to the Dominion of Virginia.
 * Mexico:. His goal now is to make Mexico City the best city in the world, a center for enlightment, knowledge, and ideas. Thus he begins La Reforma continues, setting up of schools continue, railroad build up continues, establishment of new towns and ports continue, build up of the telegraph continue, military build up continues, and airship development continues.


 * Clipperton Island:Trading continues.
 * Grenadines: Farm build up and exploration continue.
 * Colombia: the military and economy are built up. the influenciation of panama continues and the army of colombia is extended as the wish of making colombia a military power in the region begins, treaties of delimitations are asked with brazil and peru (as the amazons is essentially no man's land). While this the navy begins buying nuy prototypes for steam ships and some air ballons however the later ones are storaged as the army for now focuses mostly on the navy are army. a city is founded in OTL Vaupes capital's Mitu, Called Nueva Cartago due to its location to trade with the western amazonians.
 * Peruvian Dip:Accepted.
 * UK: The HMS Wellington nears completion. We delight at the Napoleon's sinking, but we fear that the Wellington might share the same fate as the Napoleon. We continue research into steam prosthetics and the military & infrastructure is built up.
 * Ottoman Empire: The Ottoman empire begins working on a fleet that continue to assert it's dominance in the Mediterranean. The New Empire controlled areas that once held were the home a nation under the Islam faith is troubling the Ottoman Sultan as he affirms to send a sizeable force to watch the land for strange activities. The three branches of the Ottoman military is currently updating it's armorment to include the Navies: Su Canavari Class ship meant for heavy fire power and armorment, but slow movement, followed by the lighter smaller faster, but weaker Yunus Class ship. The Air Force has created a fast moving airship called the Esekarisi, meant for quick precision strikes. Finally the Armed forces producing the Akinci class tank, meant to traverse the mountainous and desert areas of the Empire.

1852
500 feet = Dead '''Whoa, whoa, whoa. Airplanes? In 1852? Shouldn't they wait? Airships are one thing but planes?'''
 * The International Association of Gentlemen for the Preservation of Monarchy is set up throughout Europe as a sizable diaspora of French aristocrat émigrés who fled France during the revolution begin a strong campaign for de-democratization of the nations that are now part of the republican bloc around France and in distant southern Russia. Over time, the association will become a fixture of the political makeup of Europe, with many monarchs and other notable royalists claiming membership.
 *  Due to the advancement of science and the human mind, a new era begins in Italy and France. Rationalism, Empirism and Rennaissance spread through Europe and its artists and writers. The Neorennaissance, how it is starting to be called by scholars, is taking Europe in a storm as inventions and ideas spread. Higher-positioned people return to the core problems of society. Education, religion, and equality.  
 * The Acadian
 * Kingdom Of Naples: We request that we are allowed to join the IAGPM, and continue to create Steam Paddlers, at least two more, each armed with 12 guns. They are tested, and proven succesful. Hoping to avoid the fate of the Le Napoloen, we continue looking for the plans with our spies. One of them returns with part of the plans. An anylasies of the plans lets us find the faults that caused Le Napoloen to sink, at least some. We then improve our own ships by locating the faults, and continue searching for the other pieces. Railways are built, with steamed powered trains being constructed to for travel purposes. Economic growth continues.
 * Le Napoleon sunk because it caught on fire, and you surely can't just go and find the spies in 2 years. 
 * I based this off of sheer number of spies. But, if i can get the plans, i can find what went wrong.
 * What went wrong was that it was a Paddle Steamer. They catch fire. It is just what happens. You can't fix that...
 * Whoa, what? They do? What is better then a steam paddler?
 * Kiev: We countinue to build a railroad system that connects our whole country, so that we can be united. Our mechanics continue to build some steam ships for our navy. The first prototype airship is completed. The prototype is tested for the first time. It flies for 10 minutes befor it crashes in the ground. It reaches 500 feet above the ground. The two people flying the airship get wounded but they survive die. The military is upgrading due to the usage of steam guns. Our ports increase due to be able to fit more ships in each port. We are one of the nations that sends spies to steal the original blueprints of Le Napoleon. President Marko Sinchenko sends an ambassador to the Ottoman Empire to ask if we could be allies.
 * Acadia: Acadian Scientists theorise that with enough steam engines, and the Brazilian Caterpillar Tracks, one could create a Moving City, and work begins on a small scale prototype. The Trans-continental railroad nears completion. Acadian Relations with the Dominion of Virginia Sour, and the Acadian Military is quietly stepped up, with Airships being commissioned tas an offensive weapon
 * moving cities was going to be my thing :( Stephanus rex (talk) 21:41, February 28, 2014 (UTC)
 * Peru: Influence on West Amazonia contnues, with Peru continuing to sponser poloticans in the nation. Military and economy expand. Infrastructure is improved, focusing on the area surronding Cuzco. Lumber and copper remain the cheif exports of our country. Work on modernizing our military continue, and we ask for foregin aid in doing so.
 * Brazil: We work on our caterpillar tracks and begin creating steam wagons for transport of wood through the Amazonian forest. An old but renown scientist calculates that with the speed and current advancement of technology the Amazonian forest might rapidly decrease in size and cause major problems. This hypothesis is dismissed due to the scientist's age and due to the fact that the current science "leaders" in Brazil do not agree. Multiple lumber camps are build as well as different wood-based factories. Because of the increased travel and cost of catterpillar tracks for now, we work on our infrastructure and build ports and steam paddlers that transport ships on the Amazon river.
 * Preussia: König Friedrich joins the IAGPM, seeing democracies as anarchistic and mob rule. The SMS Æthers construction slows, both due to builders unfamiliar with steam engines and designers studying the sinking of Le Napoleon, not wanting Æther to share the same fate.

 * Golingering_Class_Steamship.jpg Conciliary Union of the Rhine, benefiting from close relations with the Conciliary Republic of France, is able to develop its own set of variations upon the airships that are becoming all the rage in France. Frankfurt continues to grow economically, as a major center for steel manufacturing, and also the largest stock market in continental Europe. The Rhine looks east towards Saxony with growing suspicion, especially with the rise of the International Assoc. of Gentlemen for the Preservation of Monarchy setting up in the region. The development of three new airships, designed by Heinrich Golingering of Cologne, creates a brand new department in the Rhinish military - the Steam Air Division. Each airship boasts a crew of 200 men, and is armed with 20 cannons. The three new vessels are named the RLS Köln, RLS Essen, and RLS Dortmund, after some of the largest cities in the Republic.

 * Kingdom Of Naples: Railroads are built across the kingdom. Massive amounts of conscription begins, and two mire steam paddlers are built, each less likely to catch fire. Research into airships continues, with protypes bring developed, and flown at a height so that, if they crash, the pilots will survive. An alliance is offered to Brazil and the UK.
 * Kiev: We continue building up our military and growing our economy. Our military sends a group of 20 ships to go explore the continent of Africa. After going through two canals we land on an area called Eithiopia. We colonize the area and trade with the natives. We start to build port cities in the coast of the nation. Later we leave 10 ships to stay on this land and continue going south. We hit two areas called Somalia and another called Yemen. We colonize the areas, trade with the native, and build port cityies. 20 ships are left behind to stay with the colonies. After leaving Africa, 70 ships sail in the vast ocean waiting to hit land and see what awaits them.
