on a technical standpoint it should be before 2012 due to the fact that they are constantly claiming that there are only 6 billion people on the planet instead of the current 7 billion and if we were to believe that the first LN was taking place at current times plus the aproximite  year and half since then it would make it 2005 or 2006 but don't forget that the anime went out of it's way to reference obama plus Queen Elizard is an obvious nod to the current and considering the line succusion there England is bound to have several liftimes worth of Kings to follow making it unlikely that it would be taking place in any other time now  or atleast not for about a century or more ther many references throughout the franchise indicating it's taking place during current times and probely current past just look at the technology outside of Acedemy City that's proof enough.
