The modern world has too many restrictions. International laws, laws of war, treaties between a lot of countries that prevent them from either joining conflicts, or realistically fighting one another (like with NATO). A lot of the fun in these roleplays comes from going to war with other players. It'd be really hard to do that in a modern world (at least realistically).
