Did it resemble this? An Astrolabe?

By the late 19th century they were pretty much replaced by the sextant and other devices in the western world, and used as curiosities or educational tools
but were still common in the Middle East and Asia.

"The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."

Can we offer him as an appeasement? "We promise to stop bombing if you take him off our hands" type of thing?

How is it not steampunk? The items you mentioned were all used during the Victorian period, which is what Steampunk was based on. The only possible difference is a steampunk version would be even more overly elaborate,, almost to the point of uselessness.

This week will be a somewhat controversial color- orange. People are often scared that they can't pull off orange, but this week, I'll feature dresses that show the beauty of this color. Let's start with this 1890 Worth satin and velvet afternoon gown. #Fashionhistory #ootd

🎡 You ask me why I'm weary
Why I can't speak to you
You blame me for my silence
Say it's time I changed and grew
But the war's still going on, dear
And there's no end that I know
And I can't say if we're ever-
I can't say if we're ever gonna be free 🎡

Still practical. Sextants really weren't superseded satellite navigation became reliable and are still the best backup option.
