It is a new world.  There are 7 nations competing for dominance.  They are the Ukrainians, Russians, Egyptians, Persians, Babylonians, Germans, and English.  The U.K. are a powerful nation, they hold 3 major continents in their grasp and have colonies on 2 more.  The Russians are an unknown factor in this world.  They are fairly advanced but they have not improved their cities much.  They have contact with the Egyptians and Persians, and know of only one Ukrainian city.  The Egyptians are caught between a rock and a hard place.  Trying to hold off a Ukrainian assault from the SW, they have the powerful Russian's to their NE.  They are about as advanced as the Russians.  The Persians are living in the stone age.  They have expanded from their original island home and now occupy 2 islands.  Their location is prime for colonization; with the many uninhabited islands that surround them.  They have recently held off an attack by the U.K., but lost most of their navy.  The Babylonians live on a moderately sized 
island that is fertile and only half colonized.  They are at peace with the U.K., but are worried about the southern colony and fortress of Cremona.  The Germans are somewhere in the middle ages, but their cities are well developed and they have a good strategic position to grab 1 of the 3 continents under U.K. control.  And lastly the English.  This civilization is descended from survivors of the "Carthaginian Purge", a movement to kill the Carthaginian refugees after their country was occupied by the U.K.  Very weak and far behind, their goal is to retake their ancestral homeland and banish the U.K. from the planet.  (All tech. if not already described is in the Dragoon-Cavalry and Cannon-Musketeer-Rifleman era.)

Good luck!
