Victorian England could be similar to Whale's homeland - The Land without Colour. Inhabitants there don't believe in magic but they do have some sort of it as evidenced by Jefferson's hat being able to create a portal to it.

Also of interest is whether the White Rabbit can travel to lands without magic. When he first visited Storybrooke, was it before or after Rumple brought magic back?
