The ships as I have written them are too slow, by an order of magnitude. Journeys I have listed as taking days, should take hours.
If I scale up the world to fit, it becomes huge. Like an area the size of the Caribbean becomes an area the size of the continental U.S. Possible fixes include:
breaking the continent into islands that are separated by wide swaths of sea
having the pirates have to hunker down during a hurricane
slowing down airships (but they still need to have some advantages over sea/rail)
something else entirely I haven't thought of yet ;)
I'll probably do a combination of these. Still hashing it out.
