Girl Genius' Europa in the Infinite Worlds?

[ProfessorDetective]

So, best to file this line under 'time bombs', then. Anyway:

Heterodyne/Wulfenbach; 1880s-1890s

Current Affairs: The Wulfenbach empire continues it's slow conquest of Europa while the recently ignited Agatha Clay/Heterodyne begins making her mark.

Divergence: Uncertain, likely 5000s BCE or earlier.
TL: 5+3/4/5
Quantum: Homeline+1.
Mana: Normal to High.
Interaction Protocol: Seal the bottle with wax and glue and lock it in a safe.

Do we know enough to list civilizations?

Europa of course has 2-3 empires at present, and many small states.

There is a Iron Caliphate in Egypt.

The Americas are mostly unknown but there was "Thundering Engine Woman" a fake Native American in the circus, based on a real person. Which doesn't really tell us much.

There is some contact with China and India, but I don't think we have many details about them.

The major civilizations at this time appear to be:

The Wulfenbach Empire, centered in Eastern Europe;

The Confederacy of the Fifty Families, in Western Europe, which is basically the Holy Roman Empire by another name;

The British Empire, which may include India; and

The Great Cetaceans.

It appears that there is a Caliphate or something akin to the Ottoman Empire in the Near East, and Russia seems to be under the control of the Polar Lords. We have insufficient information on how the spark has affected Indochina, China, Korea, Mongolia, Japan, or Australia. The two Indian women we've seen (Bang and Seffie(?)'s bodyguard) seem to share an appreciation for fighting, but it's hard to say from a sample of two how India really is.

And there may be someone living in the canals on Mars?

Don't forget Trelawney Thorpe. (At least, she looks Indian, at least by descent.) (She certainly doesn't mind a fight, but then few Sparks do.)
