I don't know if this qualifies for avoiding your definition of 'fairly 
standard variation', but we are doing a fantasy world based on ancient
(Republican) Rome (the game is called The Eternal City). 
 
We're also striving for a 'real world' model with many of the standard
features mentioned in your list. So perhaps the only significant
differences are that it isn't medieval and that it isn't 'overstocked'
with magic touches.
