Airships and Landboats
Background:
The basic premise of the RP is that the world, in 1628, is somewhat in an era of prosperity; or so much that it was. Steampunk and Clockwork technology are the main sources of power for the world; both in the domestic and military sense. Da Vinci was much more powerful in this timeline, due to the Gonfaloniere of the Florentine Republic noticing his mathematical and engineering skills early on in life. He went on to produce not only the works we know in our timeline, but also produce more than even he could have imagined. He was able to manufacture a tank-like vehicle, which brought him great fame. Due to Da Vinci's extended influence, the technology of the world advanced more quickly than in our timeline. With the first airships being built around 1478, and the New World being discovered shortly after in 1479. Though it was discovered only a few years before our timeline, it was enough to push the balance of power in the world.
Fast-forward to 1628, and the world is prosperous. Every nation has possession of at least a small Airship navy, and Landships are all too common. Soldiers, too, carry weaponry which is arguably more advanced than what we have today in many aspects. Domestically, factories chug out products using machinery which in our timeline was not discovered until the late 19th century. This lead to a large stale-mate between the Great Powers, and war has been uncommon. However, tensions have been rising recently. While it looks like the world will remain at peace, no one can be sure. Though, there is one thing everyone is sure of, the world has definitely changed. New Powers have risen, and old ones have fallen.
You will control one of these nations; whether it be a Great power of old, declining into the past, or a Grand power of new, progressing into the future. Your decisions will shape the course of this world, and perhaps the course of many others.

429 - I can search this and find apps
Explanation for the Aerial Fleet part of the app:
You'll need to state how exactly your ships run. For example, you could say they use giant propellers that do things (explanation needs to be better than that, though xD). The main things would be air balloons, propellers and jet-like steam engines. Pictures are appreciated.
