The Rising Sun Never Sets

if going for feudal setting, honor code like chivalry and bushido, and an elite warrior class

if imperial setting, lots of factories and stronk navy

>Le repressed brits and nips meme

FFS westerners were shocked by the utterly casual attitude the japanese had about sex. And britain was almost as bad before middle-class victorian moral crusaders with too much time on their hands showed up. You could buy a 14 year old girl for the cost of a modern PlayStation in London.

Why not both?

I feel like if the brits were so repressed the magna carta wouldn't have been a thing. Ever since christianization of europe, the brits in particular seemed significantly less repressed and more liberty loving than the rest of europe. I mean we're talking about the culture that basically spawned liberalism and the american revolution

Yep, the British are pretty sexually adventurous, alright.

If you want J-steampink go read Jay Kristoff's Lotus war trilogy. it's fantastic and has great elements of both. can't say much for an english aesthetic, so i'd recommend the leviathan trilogy as well by scott westerfeld. fantastic art in it as well.

Also the culture that spawned the puritans.

The brits are less entirely "liberal" or "repressed" - more "schizophrenic" and alternating between both.

U wot m8?

Double dose of tea-obsession?

What about a Japan that had been colonized and partially Anglicized by a neo-British global Empire, and is now ruled as a vice-regal crown colony? Perhaps with the campaign involving the players interacting with an uprising for Japanese independence.
