I'd personally say some sort of messed up renaissance-style thing. Peg a single tech level down so nobody can run around with nuke and laser beam weapons while the rest of us are tribes with flintlock guns.

I'm actually just keeping track of the geographical locations/maps at the moment and allowing free reign technology etc. I'll do a poll to influence what we should think what setting it should be.

What used to be a large stretch of dry wasteland gradually became a flourishing oasis full of
beautiful flowers and other assorted plantlife after a race of fuzzy flying insect people from a continent that was flooded took refuge there. Using their outstanding irrigation and pollination skills they were able to give their society a second chance.
The migrants later called themselves the Bombonians and established a bee hive-like society, run by a queen.
The country is split into different sections:
Bombonian Capital City
A very dense city that's home to the queen and many hive-like homes, factories and notable landmarks.
Greater Bombonia
Bombonia's pride and joy with beautiful hills, forests and villages stretching for miles. It it also home to 60% of the entire continent's bees!
Bombonian Outskirts
When attempts were made to expand the country's borders over a hundred years ago, a civil war broke out over the ownership of the new territory and it became home to four bickering kingdoms run by aspiring although very naive queens. While they were independent in their early days they were later reduced to puppet states secretly run by Bombonia's royal family.
The Bombonians who live here are part of a much more unforgiving society and have to deal with poverty, hunger and crime.
The Bombonian Wall
A honeycomb-like wall that serves as a buffer zone between Greater Bombonia and the Bombonian Outskirts.
------------------------------------------
Diplomacy/Trade
The Bombonians are reclusive and prefer minding their own business, but are open to trading valuable resources such as honey, bees and strong building materials with other nations.
War
The Bombonian military has power in it's numbers and loyalty and will quickly get together like a swarm of angry bees when provoked.
Although strong, they often use Kamikaze tactics that lead to many of the drones dying in the queen's honour.
Society
The Bombonians who live in the city are quite wealthy and upper-class, while those who live in the countryside live a much more modest life and generate most of the country's honey supply.

In the deepest depths in the tunnels of Xirthi are creatures called abominations, they have various descriptions, but all look hideous, and the apperiences can range from mangled deformed bodies, to giant tentacle creatures, to moving and walking ooze blobs of flesh. The ones who are humanoid may have aspects such as missing a mouth and just has a flesh of skin where it's skin should be, deformed bone structure causing them to stumble and/or hunch, they all vary in apperance.
The Xirthi revere these creatures and consider them to be the servents of the Snake Mother. These creatures are considered dangerous and attack amd kill anything, even other Xirthi, with the exception of the Priestesses of the Night mother who are ignored and unscathed by them.
It is unsure, even among the Xirthi, if the temples to their vile gods were there before the existence of the Xirthi race, or if they were built because of the Abominations.
The architecture consist of stone houses, built hollowed out and built into the tunnel walls, but it's not uncommon for the Xirthi to use body parts such as flesh hide from sacrificed Xirthi , or bone to adorn the temples, and buildings of particular importance.

Honestly, I'm not too worried about a tech level, because real life doesn't really have a tech level. I mean, look at rural Africa, where you can find people farming the way they've farmed for centuries, with little mechanization or modern conveniences... except that they own cell phones. And use minutes of cell phone time as impromptu currency.
In China, people were drilling for natural gas and oil products before the birth of Jesus. Using bamboo drilling rigs and pipelines. Hero of Alexandria built a small cart powered by a falling weight that could be "programmed" using strings.
The Lycurgus Cup contains nanoscale fragments of gold and silver that changes the color of the glass based on where a light source is coming from, and was built in ancient Rome.
In short, technology is fucking weird, and having a schizophrenic technology level isn't all that unrealistic.

Don't forget the steam-powered automatons, too. Much was lost in the era following Rome's fall.

It's possible to create a chariot-like vehicle with the aeolipile, though not a very efficient one. If one had a ready supply of wood on hand, like forests, you could potentially make up for that.
This is a tiny model made by a Frenchman, but you get the general idea. Aeolipile creates steam, steam shoots out the back, and the whole thing rolls along as a result.

The Veiled Ones have begun allowing Genosian researchers to explore the depths of the island, splitting the loot and knowledge of hallucinogens. Predatory specimens never before seen are also extracted from the bogs of the Inner Veil

@AN/ALR-56 sent me his country

the nordic empire of donald trump has gaelic art and an economy focusing on heavy industry. They have a strong navy
They have a wall blocking the elves from entering their country. The white area is tundra, the area with green triangles is hardwood forests, and the other area is a marshy area around the rivers

The Porphyrians, worried about the Genosian hyperloop being so close to their territory, ask the Holy Despotism for aid - and provide several of their finest creations yet for the Despotism's use in this endeavor. And for dealing with this threat to their territory, they offer 3 chests of gold in exchange.
Steam tanks, wood and coal-burning behemoths. While only armed with a 150mm mortar, they are highly mobile if kept fueled. They are typically set up far from the target and used to bombard it.

I guess Fantasty Sci-Fi is winning by a landslide.
It is the moderately far future in some backwash planet with a supercontinent filled with strange and diverse humanoids. They often keep to themselves but due to the complexity of technological advancements through unknown benefactors, some are communicating with the outside world and other cultures beyond the physical borders and unknown lands. These societies continue to grow and develop. Some benefactors from this unknown source of technology favours others almost on personal whims.
Next Update.

The Genosians try to negotiate potential conditions in which the hyperloop will be peacefully allowed to exist but warn that the hyperloop is going to continue to exist and call upon the Luna Republic and the Isles of the Golden Sun for assistance
