    I believe the first machine gun was the gattling gun, which needs a stand in order to operate and has been invented at this point in time.

    The Gattling gun was invented in the mid-1800's. The BAR rifle, which was really a sub-auto was in the 1910's so its almost there. We do still have semi-auto pistols and revolvers. Plus various rifle weapons, though.

    Well, Germany had U-boats in WWI, but we're turn of the century. I don't know if the tech has been developed yet. You may want to look it up.

    You can have the first submarines

    Those were little half-barrels with a guy swimming under it. The air pocket let them breath and there was a shelf for a bomb that they were supposed to stick onto a ship to make it blow up.

    Or even slightly more advanced, the sub used in the civil war by the confederacy to try and break the union blockade- mind you, it was destroyed in the attempt, but it worked...

    It was really funny watching from the sidelines as well.

    That statement just struck me as objectively funny, independent of anything to do with Eizon.

    Anywho Carnage, even if you can't, there are plenty of governments which have managed to inspire fanatical unwavering loyalty from their populations through creative use of propaganda, misinformation, and near-deitification of leadership.

    I mean, you have a facist state. Just have your thugish social police force kill/imprision any detractors or political opponents.

    I think the chip thing would be out, that's way beyond our tech level. Enchantments, on the other hand...
