I don't why its stated that the epilouge scene of "And They Lived..." takes place after the United Realms was created becuase it has to take place before.

Regina and everyone who was cursed in Hyperion Heights returned to the future before she cast the most recent Dark Curse. Otherwise, had she combined ALL the realms (Including the New Enchanted Forest) in the past before the Coven of the Eight forced Regina to cast their dark curse, it would've caused a massive time paradox and would make all the flashbacks that take place after "Pretty in Blue" impossible to occur, and as a result the United Realms would no longer exist.
