That's true as well. Now it becomes a matter of "geography," for lack of a
better word, of the alternate dimensions. If you can only get into the
ones "close by" you'll be leaping through billions of worlds that are very
similar first, before you get to the good stuff where the GM can set
adventures in worlds that are perceivably different in some way. [trying
to go back on topic] A North America where the NAN got crushed by the USA
in the 2020s, for example, or maybe the other way around.

The best way for running a game like this would be to assume the
dimensions are more or less intertwined, so you could end up from your
"native" dimension into one that's totally different by making only one
jump.
