3) (which doesn't apply in this case) After late-2012, there's the cultural data in the whole Fenspace Catalog available to draw upon, which includes properties similar to those in our world.
Thus, while the particulars might be different, the broad brush-strokes will still be there...

the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
