I don't think it would be quite what you are looking for, but my home region (Ersetum) is something of a late Victorian era steampunk/schizo/fantasy. Think Studio Ghibli's Castle in the Sky, but with multiple species. Again, that falls behind by almost two centuries from what I think you are looking for, but still an option. If by modern you mean very much current day technology, I would recommend somewhere such as the Commonwealth of Liberty—but only if you enjoy a sort of bland and very internal style of roleplay.
