This land, named Everfair, is set aside as a safe haven, an imaginary Utopia for native populations of the Congo as well as escaped slaves returning from America and other places where African natives were being mistreated. As the native populations adopt advances in steam technology as their own, an uneasy truce between the country's many factions leads to a revolt against Leopold's harsh reign. 650 0 Utopias|vFiction. 650 0 Steampunk fiction. 650 7 FICTION|xAlternative History.|2bisacsh 650 7 FICTION|xFantasy|xHistorical.|2bisacsh 650 7 FICTION|xScience Fiction|xSteampunk.|2bisacsh 650 7 Colonization.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00868483 650 7 Steampunk fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01750223 650 7 Utopias.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01163359 651 0 Congo (Democratic Republic)|xColonization|vFiction. 651 0 Belgium|xColonies|zAfrica|vFiction. 651 7 Africa.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01239509 651 7 Congo (Democratic Republic)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01208723 655 7 Alternative histories (Fiction)|2gsafd 655 7 Steampunk fiction.|2lcgft 655 7 Alternative histories (Fiction)|2lcgft 655 7 Science fiction.|2lcgft 655 7 Fantasy fiction.|2lcgft 655 7 Alternative histories (Fiction)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01921576 655 7 Fantasy fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01726607 655 7 Fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 Science fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01726489 655 7 Steampunk fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01750220 994 C0|bMCP
