The chemical formula for greek fire has been lost to time, actually, so nobody truly knows what it was made of and the nations of this RP probably don't have napalm yet, considering the first synthetic napalm was developed in 1942 and that is rather late.
Just an example. I'm mainly meaning that we're going to be moving towards more chemical-based weaponry, and potentially might invent something like VX as the RP goes on, with all the ethical ramifications therein.
Well then we're another leader, that's simple to resolve.
Fair enough.

I'll probably think of another creative technological thing to throw in to differentiate our nations a bit.

AFAIK, Greek Fire i nothing but a mixture of raw oil and natural gases. There's no chemical formula to it whatsoever, more like a a procedure done to oil and that's it.
As for Nappalm or such, just because historically it was developed two years later it doesn't mean you could not have that a bit earlier in a fantasy setting.

As for differentiating our nations, it'll be easy. Yllendthyr is an elven empire with a considerable portion of them being pointy eared and with the old tradition to ride griffins. I also use a nerfed-down mithril instead of steel in practically anything.
We'll be pretty different anyways.
I'm just trying to help you to make your nation truly the leader in chemistry.
