(28th May 2008)

It's 2 seconds to midnight for Real Steam all over the world. I believe the following is the short list of countries where there is traditional revenue earning steam and, in most cases, the amount is very small, usually industrial and may be even seasonal. I don't believe that the numbers run to double figures anywhere except China and Indonesia:

Asia: China (industrial/provincial railways), India, Indonesia (seasonal industrial), North Korea (marginal, maybe already finished), Pakistan

Africa: Botswana (industrial), South Africa (industrial), Zimbabwe

Americas: Brazil (industrial), Paraguay (definitely, but not much longer)

Europe: Bosnia (industrial), Czech Republic (industrial fireless), Germany (industrial fireless), Kosovo (industrial), Poland, Romania (industrial), Serbia (industrial), Slovenia (industrial fireless)

Owing to the incompetence and unhelpful attitude of my ISP, please add 280,000 to this figure :
