Greetings, 

 This sounds fairly interesting. I am pretty well verse in Samurai on an historical sense studying their culture and all that jazz. On any accord the general idea seems easy enough. However, if you are going to flesh it out you might want to consider a single area in which the governments interact. You know, get the world as compact as can be until there is reason to expand. Most importantly, my question is have you developed a general story line or plot progression. I'd rather not take part in just another tavern RP. With that being said, I imagine it would take into account the changing world. It also wouldn't hurt to more clearly define both the environmental setting and the chronological setting. You want to use Samurai but you mention technology to aid civilization. .Obviously this takes place in an alternate universe but what is the world really like? Are we looking at a present day where fire arms have fallen out of service and people returned to melee combat? Or has it not breached the creation of fire arms and thusly the technology being created is more steam punk-ish or something along those lines. 

I'll look forward to seeing the OOC
