You are welcome <3 I love nerding stuff, I tend to do it with medicine, I'm not so good at international history.
Well, at the manga it says that it's the imaginary end of the 19th century (chapter 1, page 6 at OneManga). Considering that Japan was forced to open up to the world 1854 by Comodore Matthew Perry it could have gone more or less like this: Japan was forced to open, during that brief time the Order managed to land to the opened up country (if I recall properly there was a strong fight due religion as well, so the Order might have left to the country as well to find exorcists). They found Kanda, the Earl came and screwed things up.
Afterwards political stuff ensued and said that Japan had closed itself towards the world because of X reason and that's why no one can longer visit the country. They won't receive them and those who are found will be penalized.
At least that's how I did it at the fic: It's 1874, Kanda is 10 years old, Japan has been open at least good 20 years. Kanda is taken by local people as a descendent from Kaguya but in fact he is a half redeemed akuma soul transplanted within a woman's womb, a woman who was unable to have children. He is born, believed to be a princess of some sort and because of that crack ensues (it's a comedy about Kanda having to endure being a Disney Princess but being an exorcist at the same time).
Well, leaving aside the sheer amount of my stupidity, it could be that time and it could have happened that.
And Lavi, well, he might be older, we don't even know his real name, he could be anything, especially because of his memories.
