I'm going to post a NS for this sometime. It looks interesting.

Bio
Hello! Welcome! Etc! I am Inkdrop! I am an eighteen year old male furry from Kansas, who likes history and technology, namely naval, aerospace, and space types. Sci fi and fantasy are probably my favorite genres, as might be obvious from those interests.
I do have a rather extravagant imagination and can come up with some very odd ideas. Sorry!

Well yes I know,butthis is around 1650 when the industrial revolution was just spreading it's wings in the mainland of Europe.Yes England already went past industrial revolutin that time,but this is still the early years of it spreading.Flintlocks were really common,but out of all the other mechanics Snaplock managed to stay in use for as long as flintlocks,whilst the others failed.Snaplock was also good at keeping the gunpowder from becoming wet.It was also less complicated that the flintlock.I thought It would be good as a standard for a huge army.But otherwise yes,I understand your point.I also looked up and I found some very interesting flintlock,back loading rifles.Also I laughed for like 5 minutes after seeing the paper cartridge used early in France.So yeah i can say I am just waiting for cartridges to come by.And Rifled guns to be actually good,and common.Of course you seem to know a lot so there is no point in telling you all this.I hope I actually made sense whit what I wrote.
You did, and now we just get to see where the tech tree takes us. That will be the fun part. Might end up with gatling cannons or something soon. Also, didn't the IR start in around the 1830s?
I love your CS so much,that in fact I buried deep inside mine and researche some things about technical magic. I think that Snaplock rifles are just so amazing compared to Flintlock rifle designs.But I used flintlock after researching a bit.Also did you know the first revolver came out in around 1500 O_O .This brings a new level to my CS.althought of course they were only for the king and the highest ranking people cause they costed around 10 cows worth of money T_T .So best suited for imperial guards.Now I am just playing witht he idea of revolver rifles but that seems like an idea that is not affordable in a country where most things are made out of stone and wood,cause there are only sparse metal (especially iron) deposits around.
While the Snaphance and Doglock might be interesting designs they were, actually, very outdated by the time the industrial revolution rolled around. Flintlocks would be the standard by this time, and MAYBE caplocks, but those only came about around the time of the American Civil War.
Well crap, I hadn't read @TommyToledo's app until now. Project Luna and Luna Corp must be the USA knockoffs of the original Project Omicron. :P
It would actually make sense that an arms race of some sort started between the US and China, especially when the world went to hell like this.
I want to join, this sounds like it could get really interesting.

History:
At one point in time, you might have called them hippies, liberals, tree-huggers. That was what they were. For the most part, people ignored them. Sometimes they rammed whaling ships, sometimes they blocked trucks, other times they marched and yelled... but they were ignored. They were just fools, people from a bygone era. For the most part, these were peaceful people... that is, until the Earth began to die. Then things really kicked off and turned crazy.
The peaceful protests grew louder and louder. Some stayed peaceful, but as the conditions grew worse, some grew violent. They began to bomb fuel tankers, set fire to power plants, and slash the tires of gasoline trucks. A small group of these environmentalists and humanists, calling themselves the Gaian Defense Force, started calling for independence from what they saw as "a blind government suckling from the teat of the industry". Again, they were mostly ignored, save for a few SWAT raids and newspaper headlines. They were just some stupid cult.
Finally, the GDF's chance came when the US government began to fall. A small group of cultists stormed a museum warship in Baton Rouge, and seized her, along with many rounds of ammunition. With around sixty of this rag-tag army, armed with hunting rifles and handguns, they set out for the Caribbean. When they landed on the shores of Cuba, they found a country that had been wiped from the map. Category Five hurricanes, spawned out of the poisoned, stinking air, had razed most of the country and led to the total collapse of all government operations. The few remaining survivors either fled or went along with the GDF's cult-like ideals, simply to be fed and sheltered.
After a few weeks, more stolen ships came in, with more GDF recruits. People began to believe in the GDF, crazy and radical as they were. Haiti, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic... all were usurped by the GDF. The GDF turned these lands int Gaiafirma, a theocracy, run by the religion which worships Mother Nature and the idea of a connected ecosystem, with humans as a central part with huge responsibilities. High Chief Kirman was established as the supreme ruler of the land, and soon he called for a new plan. He turned his country's attention to the stars, and called for action. He called for a new home, a new Womb, where mankind could be born again from Mother Nature's belly and start afresh without the corruption that had poisoned "the Crib".
Needless to say, Gaiafirma is a theocracy gripped by cultist fervor, and it is unlikely that they will let anyone get in the way. Many radical scientists and other intellectuals came over with the simple environmentalists, and have given Gaiafirma a head start in scientific understanding. As well, some of the ships hijacked were research vessels, so Gaiafirma can conduct research despite it's badly damaged architecture. However, the rain and wind from all of the hurricanes has left the topsoil eroded and mostly unable to bear plant life. Gaiafirma can grow crops on the decks of supertankers and bulk carriers, but, needless to say, this is not ideal. On top of that, whatever industrial architecture that existed has been blown away or is without power.
For the most part, the High Chiefs, Rootgrowers, and Seedsowers have instilled enough fervor in the assimilated and imported populace. Some resistance still exists, however. This is being quashed, but it is taking time and money to do so.

It took freaking forever but I did manage to make the military a little more detailed.
I'd support populating the world with smaller NPC nations. Might make it interesting.
And I am performing tweaks on Stoludi's military anyways.

Okay. I'll transfer my NS to the Characters tab later.
I'll do that later. Right now, we really need another player... Otherwise we'll have to start with a lot of untouched land.
