You raise a valid point, but you're forgetting that the whole series takes place AFTER Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, and Dragon Ball GT. If you apply real world history to this, royal monarchies began to lose their importance and power sometime after the 18th century, so we can assume that King Furry stepped down or was killed by a tyrannical supervillain (to later be defeated by the Z-Fighters of that time period, possibly Goku Jr. and Vegeta Jr.). Now this is just to help you understand. I'm pretty sure you can fill in the rest of the gaps yourself.

You're probably wondering, "Well, if this takes place in the 21st century, why is Goku there, and what's up with his clothes?" Well, let's take a look at the fanon side of DBZ. First there's the original Dragon Ball, then Z, and GT. That's how it goes canonically. However, fans have gone so far as to create a new arc called AF (This is the most popular term used to refer to any fan-created arc that takes place after GT.). The fan-manga depicts Goku in these clothes, and it carries the logic from GT that Goku became immortal after integrating his own essence (or something to that effect.) with the Dragon Balls (or Shenron, depending on your intepretation of it.). This is proven by how he appears at the end of GT, approximately 100 years after the events in the Shadow Dragon Saga. No physical signs of aging.

As for the 700's Age thing, there's no official statement for why it's like that. It's unknown if Jesus Christ or any other religious person to indicate the timeframe. You could be right, though.

Hope this helps you understand a bit.
