The local year is 476AD. Britainnia is stable peaceful and run by the local elites through a sub-senate (the only one of its kind). The local Tech Level is a mixture of 3 in the countryside and 4 in the towns.
It's seen as massively anomalous that Britainnia is so radically changed but most of the rest of the world closely parallels Homeline. Path/Book Magic is unusually commonplace in this world and Britainnia seems to be a stronghold of paganism while also having strong Christian communities.

"Oh good grief, it's just another Arthurian myth-parallel, early in the development phase. They'll adopt feudalism and plate armour any minute now. Pass this one over to the metaphysics geeks and tell the observers on the ground to watch out for any young leaders with names beginning "Ar".
