I have to take the opportunity to pimp the works of a great sci-fi humor writer I know: Toby Frost. He has a great series of books set in a kinda steampunk future taking place in the Second British Empire. I say "kinda steampunk" because all those cogs and levers are strictly an aesthetics issue rather than basing a future on steam power taking us to the stars.

Actually I wrote a book review for the series in KODT magazine some time back, so I'll just link to it here:

Honestly, this seems like the sort of series that would go over really well here (the author used to play a lot of Elite back in the day, too ;) )

I finally remembered to read your review.. an excellent review, and it sounds like an excellent series!

Will have to see if I can find them here in Ozland.
