The idea that the whole world would be TL 2 isn't realistic. It wasn't when we were at TL 2. I would suggest large parts of the world would simply be uninhabited by humans since with the highest TL being 2 they would simply lack the seafaring technology to colonize across oceans that could easily match or exceed the Pacific. And there would be far more of the inhabited part of the world that was occupied by people who were still TL 0. The TL 2 empires would be limited in their extent by their limited communication and transportation ability.
