Hmmmmm... That's a tricky question to answer.
We'd pretty much decided that things happening in our timeline after 2012 or so probably didn't happen the same way or at all in Fenspace, so it's unlikely that stories would be told the same way there as here.
However, there is the cultural database in the Whole Fenspace Catalog, which includes works of fiction from many different universes.
So ... I'd say there's a window between mid-2012 and late-2013 where people aren't creating factions based on works from our timeline, but after that people could start creating factions based on works from a timeline remarkably similar to our own. But I'm only one voice.
EDIT: I almost forgot... Welcome to Fenspace!
