So I had this idea on a different forum for a steampunk Fire Emblem roleplay.

[i]The United Ylissean Halidom--a marvel of technological advancement. Steam-carriages trundle through Ylisstol, easing the commute between areas of the large capital, and even to other cities and outposts in the country. Powerful locomotives and dirigibles allow for easy travel to further parts of the union. Villages range in function from industrial factories to agricultural producers, and the security of the united halidom rests well in the hands of the Ylissean Guard, founded centuries ago by the Exalt Chrom (under the name of the Shepherds). Many people credit the current exalt, Chalys, for maintaining the peace and prosperity of the UYH, though it is the work of countless Exalts before her that made the nation's success possible. 

The UYH maintains good trade relations with the industrialized continent of Valm and the traditional khandom of Ferox. Valm provides a strong defense service as well as many of the raw materials used in Ylissean factories, while Ferox maintains a "blank cheque" with the UYH in case of attack by foreign nations. 

Even so, there are those who remain in opposition to the union of Ylisse and Plegia...
