So perhaps the Americas and sub-Saharan Africa might just stay in native hands?

There are, however, Prussians, who I believe got the main chunks of the New World, along with the Spanish and the Italians (or City-States of Nuova Rema (Remus killed Romulus in this world, not vice versa)), who got Middling and South America, respectively.

Who are the dominant power players in world politics? I'm assuming that things didn't develop quite like they did in our world. In fact it sounds like the Germans wield a considerable amount of influence.

Or, heck, this is steampunk, right? Perhaps there's a mystical glowing rock called "Gravitite" that generates an artificial gravitational field.

Is there some sort of condensed version of what you guys have decided on for the world or is it all scattered through the thread? I've read all the posts, but there's so much here that I'm bound to repeat something that's already been decided (like I did with the bats already). ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Cactuscat) http://seventhsanctumsector.yuku.com/sreply/13635 Fri, 28 Dec 2007 14:20:23 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Steampunk? ]]> http://seventhsanctumsector.yuku.com/reply/13634/t/Steampunk-.html#reply-13634
