Trade between the various City States of Victorian Era

While I was perusing the delightful press that is the Heliograph I have noticed and icreasing number of places that are of the Victorian style in it wonderous and various forms coming through the aether. I have just recently visited a very new place called Armada, and it seems that considering their situation and lifestyle they would benefit from trade.

What would be nice if possible is to have goods being transported not via the aether of the Net, but by ship , Airship, caravans etc. The RP I think would be of enormous enjoyment as merchants have to hire guards , mercenaries, have to deal with pirates , trade embargoes etc. Just some thought and would very much enjoy others opions on the subject. The City States that I know of are Caledon, Winterfell, Steeltopia, Steelhead, Rivet Town, Antiquity, Creeve Town and a few others I cannot remember at the moment.
I thank you for your attention.

the problem is finding those who wish to rp as merchant shippers. if you can help with that i would be very happy to help you get this going.; ▶ Reply to This

Happy to help provide guards.

Remember all though these sims are steampunk and ICS is more the order if the day for them. Also none have militaries despite many efforts perhaps this would help them?; ▶ Reply to This

I will see if I can get something up and running about this...I for one would like to do merchant shipping (smuggling?) Being a self professed Priavateer I think the RP would be spectacular. I will take some soundings from the other Victorian/Steampunk places . This is for Airships as well(smiles) ..Fair winds.; ▶ Reply to This
