We know it's in the fictional state of Delmarva too Delmarva isn't a fictional state, it's a peninsula that consists of Delaware, Virginia, and Maryland. (Del Mar Va) No, I meant in the show it's confirmed that there is a state known as Delmarva. Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia might not be individual states.

I like to think about the alternate timeline theory. Allow me to explain it. The pivoting point is the outcome of the Gem War. If the Crystal Gems won, this caused the medival phase to begin earlier, as well as last much longer. Most of the ancient civilizations were pretty much "skipped" due to the Gem War, therefore this "medival phase" lasted much longer than ours. A direct outcome to this was the slowing of technology. This is why we never see any advanced tech (other than gem tech) in StevenUniverse.

But, if the Homeworld Gems won, humans were enslaved and forced to worship Homeworld Gems as deities. This caused a much longer phase of ancient civilization. Eventually, humans overthrew their gem overlords and used their tech. This explains why our medival phase came later and went by quicker than the medival phase in SU. It also instilled a sense of advancement into human bahavior, which is why we're getting all this advanced technology.

In fact, I think that for every video game or TV show, there is an alternate timeline. Think About It... But hey, that's just a theory, a TV THEORY!!
