Linked and changed map.
**Vulpess - The Grand Capital of Kistune**
The sun slowly began to creep through dark rolling clouds over the city Vulpess, showing the signs that the season at the equator of the world was beginning to change from the dark times of the heavy rain months to that of the calmer sunny months. The city itself, wet with the rain the had only just recently ended, seemed to glow in the sun's rays, making it have a magical and beautiful quality about it. Impressive even to the most casual of Kistu, the city now would have dazzled any foreigners who would have seen it. Though, these days very few foreigners came to the shores of Kistune. The position of the Kistune on foreign intervention on their continent had been made clear for years. Those nations with far reaching economies found themselves with cheap Kistune products dumped into their markets to squander competition. While nations with an eye for colonies suddenly found their prices for transport of goods increased (as Kistune had 2 of the three largest transport companies in the world, and very firm grasps on the transport markets) as well as the indigenous species suddenly armed with advanced weaponry. So, on this day, when the the good season of sun was approaching, the government of Kistune was shocked to hear that a large, and rather unknown, convoy was approaching their capital's shore.
Surrounding the convoy of ships were 5 destroyer airships, 3 airship frigates and 1 airship cruiser. Below was also 6 more naval destroyers, 3 cruisers and the rather odd ornithopter carrier, which was on coastal patrol until the government could figure out exactly how to make use of their expensive, and seemingly failed, experiment. Slowly, the convoy was guided to the air docks, where the moorings were cast down and the large ships were docked. Above, the Kistune aiirships circled like buzzards and offshore naval ships sat, their large guns pointed directly at the engines of the foreign fleet.
The foreign officials were guided off their vessels and left to stand on the docks surrounded by a large group of armed Kistune Guard ready to fire at any sign of trouble. The Kistune Government, which had long been wary of foreigners on their continent, were especially wary of these Arkilians, who they had the least contact with and heard of their martial tendencies and made sure that they showed the intruders knew who was in charge in this section of the world. A full 25 minutes passed before a government agent arrived.
The agent was a shorter Kistu, standing roughly around 5'6", with clean cut red-blonde and green eyes, a staple of the Kistu. He was wearing a red tunic of silk, adorned with white-metallic embellishments. He approached, and gave only a short nod of notice, as instructed by his seniors, and began a small speech. "Greetings, foreigners," he said in a voice surprisingly deep for his smaller size and rather feminine look, "We are sorry about the long wait, but as we receive few visitors - especially such well protected visitors - that we must take precautions accordingly. Someone of a more esteemed calibre will be with you shortly, until then, please ask me with any questions that you may have."

Weekend's here, time to post!
Posted, have at it you guys! I will make a real post later tonight, but don't wait up for me! Have a blast with it! Also, obviously all nations are approved for use, just remember to play fair, and lets not have too much war within the first few posts.
Welcome to the world of Punk, a land of mystery and smoke and steam. It is a world dominated by creatures of all shapes and sizes and nations all with their own goals and agendas. You, great leader or civilization, must take hold of the reins of your people and guide them through the ages. Whether you survive through diplomacy, economics, or war the future is your's to claim. So, great leaders, ask yourselves this, are you great enough to leave your mark on the world? Can your civilization last the test of time? Create your post and discover what lies in store.
Here is the map

Also, quick question; I've noticed a lot of people using tanks, what size are they aboutish? As they would have to be a bit larger to support the steam engines and boilers required to power them.
I'd say this size ratio would be acceptable for tanks

Indeed indeed. I guess the all around point we're making is Demo needs to read his own rules. XD Though thorgill, you have to note we aren't paralleling real life by much so just because lever actions only saw civilian use for a majority of the time doesn't mean steampunk like nations that ride on unicorns, fly airships, and build giant moving fortresses wouldn't use them ;) But let's hold off on this discussion until Demo responds.
I'll just quote Kilo to save myself some time. I removed the large rifle and edited the other one (it doesn't see widespread use, to avoid OPness, though I know for a fact the Germans made a gun similar to it, the predecessor of the MP40, but like I said, I'll keep that one on the downlow). The semi-auto multi-purpose rifle has been down graded to mostly bolt-action, with a few upgraded to semi-auto. Like Kilo suggested, a lot of carbine version exist as well. Sorry about my overstepping, I believe I researched the most cutting edge of weapons at the time (as forms of what I had described did exist in one form). But realistically, who has all the best of stuff? So I nerfed them to keep it fair.
I'll add the rest of my military now.
Added everything to my NS except the military. Y'all please look at it and tell me how it is. I think it is pretty balanced but I don't want to be the god-like GM that ruins the fun so feel free to tell me.
