Steam Tech Levels
The steam tech levels will be based on the size of your nation.

The more land you have the higher the tech you will start with. As always every nation is able to learn and grow.

Backstory
Since this is just based on some maps someone did each nation  is encouraged to make up your own backstory and page up to 1850 and fill it in as things go along
