<Snipped quote by Willy Vereb>

This is a Steampunk RP, not a SciFi Alternate History RP.
[/quote]Steampunk is sci-fi and extraterrestrials aren't even  taboo for the most classic steampunk settings.

The reason why I do not want Martians is actually rather straight forward and simple. This NRP is supposed to be a Pseudo-version of our own world with Steampunk technology, with themes of Nationalism, Imperialism, and Colonialism. It was created as a way of giving players more freedom in creating their nations and more freedom in designing tech. Martians really do not fit into that.
[/quote]Can't see any of these points hurt with Martians. It isn't like the entire world would suddenly start fighting a grueling war against a Martian invasion.
Steampunk? Check
Freedom in tech? Check
Freedom in nation concepts? Check!
Imperialism? Colonialism? Double Check!
Nationalism? Racism? Triple Check!
