Nations

Nations are the entities which share a common background and often typically engage in combat or other such relations with other nations. In Iron and Diesel, nations are ranked by whether they're major powers or minor powers.

Major Powers
Major powers are those nations which play an essential role in the world of I&D. The giants of this new dieselpunk world, they easily shape the environment and conditions between each man. Between each nation, differences in their internal politics, and foreign affairs are important to keep in mind.
