Nucleum: Australia

The energetic revolution started in Saxony was so impactful that everyone wanted to start using Nucleums in their regions. Australia’s huge deposits of uranium were ripe for the taking, leading to new visionaries, lured by the number of possibilities,  visiting the continent and changing it into a new global power. Now, these entrepreneurs have to face new challenges presented by the sheer size of Australia, but clever use of the ships will help them to transport resources much faster than by rail and to get access to a nearby island of Tasmania where a mad scientist conducted his own experiments and managed to replicate Elsa’s invention which is now proudly presented as an Experimental Power Plant in the island’s capital Hobart.
