The world just isn't fun without a little chaos.
It is the cusp of World War I, and all the European powers are arming up. The Austrian-Hungarians and Germans have their Clankers, diesel-driven iron machines loaded with guns and ammunition. The British Darwinists employ fabricated animals as their weaponry. France, Britain , Russia, Belgium and Serbia are now fighting Austria-Hungary and Germany while other nations have yet to join the war.
Clanker: Countries that use steam-driven iron machines are referred to as Clanker nations. The machines themselves and their users are also referred to as Clankers. The main Clanker nations are Germany and Austria-Hungary, generally the Central Powers with the name possibly a spoof of it. Though officially neutral, the Ottoman Empire is considered a Clanker nation as they believe Darwinist creations are against God.
Darwinist: The Darwinist countries currently consist of the Britian, France, Russia, Belgium, Algeria (a colony of France), Serbia, and Japan (Note: Japan has Clanker technology). These factions employ fabricated animals as their weaponry.
Neutral: The Ottoman Empire, despite being a society with a Clanker-oriented economy, has yet to enter the war.
- Switzerland can be considered politically neutral as it is mentioned in the book several times that it is the last place for fugitives and that just by being there, the British are breaking the terms of its neutrality. Their economy seems to be Clanker-based.
- The United States of America is a fusion of Clanker and Darwinist technologies. The country is split between the two: Clankers in the North (based on its industry) and Darwinist in the South (based on its agriculture).
- Portugal, Spain and Italy are considered Darwinist nations that have yet to join the war.
