Yeah GOT was poor compared to HOD. Look at the difference in splendor of the tournaments and hunting party between the two.
If you think about it, GOT was 20 years after a major civil war and multiple Targaryen civil wars. How long did it take for various European countries to rebound from WWII? So I'm writing some things off as we're seeing a time before things were destroyed in major conflicts.

, given Robert two male heirs, she probably could have done whatever she wanted, and the events of GOT wouldn't have played out. Ned never would have went to King's Landing because John Arryn wouldn't have had anything to worry about, that caused his death. All of the Starks would be alive. Theon would probably still be alive. Everything with Jon would still happen because he still goes to the wall, and Benjen goes missing. Stannis and Renley would probably still be alive.
