I think were somewhere at the level of 1870s, with some areas being a bit behind.If you are interested in Iron-ships and steamers though, it really shouldnt be to hard. Technology is there, just invest some money into it.

Well, the problem is we are running imperialism... And no native is going to manage anything if we have 1870's-1900'a tech. It also sort of negates the purpose of having tech advancement at all... We're being imperialist towards the end of the Age of Imperialism. It also beggars the question of if we are this so far ahead, why are we only now finding the new world?
