D&D Campaign setting help
Narr:
Might I suggest something along the lines of how Athkatla polices magics? (You know, Amn, from Baldur's Gate 2.) It's policed by quite possibly the most powerful wizard enclave ever, which creates a fun hypocritical government system.
As for the actual game mechanics, I couldn't help you at all with the steampunkiness. I believe there are gun systems set up in the basic D&D manuals anymore (like early firepower weaponry type stuff) and as for larger robotic type things, have fun with golems?

If you feel like reading through it T&T (Tunnels and Trolls) has some very nice and adaptable rules to pretty much everything... and a huge sense of humor (spell: "Take That you fiend!")
They have some online stuff as well such as free dungeons and a link for books and playing materials atflying buffalo.
To let you know how adaptable it is: we made it into a Harry Potter world for my nieces to play.
Hope it helps!
add: Also to make things easy, they use pretty much only d6s, and have lists for random monsters, dungeons, etc. which I can link for you if you would like.

That's pretty much what the "Department of Kingdom Security" is, though with nowhere near the power. Even magic users that work for the kingdom though are carefully watched and measures are up to deal with them if the need arises. Wizards are basically 2nd class citizens in this world. They just happen to be 2nd class citizens that have a useful and powerful talent that happens to be on the path of being replaced.

Would be greatly appreciated. I'm always open to some new systems and material.

Kind of reminds me of FFXII where all the technology has superseded magic and magic is just another device to use, mostly unknown... you could also look at (going way far back) FF III magic is almost unheard of and where it is it's squashed... don't know if you've played either game but those might be some other examples for you to base some of it on...
