Of course, and it's arguably more interesting to do so. Obviously it will need to be logically coherent, and I'd suggest you write some history which uses or illustrates these differences. This has two purposes:

a) It will allow you to ensure your "rules" actually work (if the history is believable and logically consistent)

b) It will give you some points for characters to refer to, and generally give you more of a 'world'. You don't need to explain these references in the narrative, but you might want to have a glossary for the interested reader.

The (potentially) tricky bit will be explaining the important differences while walking a line between long, obvious exposition and small titbits of info which the reader fails to pick up. There are plenty of well-tried methods to do exposition without the reader noticing (too much).

Incluing is a word for scattering expository information seamlessly through a story, to avoid having to break the narrative for a chunk of exposition.

I don't see why not. Fiction does that all the time. The two most popular lies are "princesses rule in lieu of queens" and "it's routine for someone to come along and usurp the throne or otherwise make the right to rule ambiguous". Both of these may have sometimes happened historically, but in fantasy settings they're routine. A more realistic alternative might be boring, but an equally unrealistic alternative would be fresh.
