There's nothing set in stone, but I've been throwing a few ideas around and wanted to see what the rest of you thought.
Given the time period, we could do something like a World's Fair. The nobles could attend or even create something to show off at the Fair. The Pirates could cause trouble in such a concentrated group of nobility. The Underground could have some shady deals going on under the guise of a legitimate booth at the Fair. Mercenaries could be hired to protect people from Pirates. There are a ton of possibilities here.
Olympic Games. Again, there are a lot of opportunities for Pirates to pray on the gathered nobility, the Underground to gamble illegally, etc. We could even have some of our own compete (there would have to be some sort of statistical outcome generated by the admins; we would figure that out if we ended up doing this) or just watch and enjoy the festivities.
War and/or catastrophic natural disaster. This is almost overdone, but there are many opportunities here. With war, perhaps the Underground and/or the Pirates feel they're strong enough to try and take over a country/province to set up their own nation. Or, perhaps it is a more traditional war between two nations and we can see how our characters are effected by it. It's similar with a natural disaster; how will the world cope with what has happened?
These are events that would effect the canon of the board. However, we could also do fun little events that would be considered AU and would have no effect on the canon. These would be things like genderbend, character swap(Hungary in Austria's body, for example), nekotalia (characters get turned into their cat forms), chibi nations (either finding chibi versions of themselves or becoming children again), various games (Truth or Dare, Never Have I Ever), or a masquerade ball.
What do the rest of you think of these suggestions? Do you have any of your own to suggest? Once I get a feel for how well you all like these suggestions and a possible list of some more suggestions from the rest of you, we'll put it to a vote to see which events we end up using. Please feel free to reply to this if you have your own ideas; I would love to hear from you.
