The time and the fact that vampires have to hide from the sun during the day, makes transportation rather difficult, if not hazardous. I can see, with the advent of trains, a vampire society that perhaps is a few towns in size, given the speed, but two continents? No. Secondly, there are bound to be numerous splinter societies developing. When one decides they need more power in their unlife and gets it. There should be no real Camarilla, but a small, well, baronies of vampires living within boarders that our a night's travel. Prearranged safehouses. An old tower. An abandoned church. A long lost castle, forgotten in the woods or an old cave can serve as shelter, for a vampire that knows where they are. Also, vampires are more concerned with their unlife, than anything else. They are very selfish creatures and any society would be for the benefit of its founder, making a large network difficult.

Older vampires would adhere to these if they remained social beings in order to make unlife more pleasant. There would probably be courtesies observed, mostly rather ancient, when vampires travelled to other places, if they did run into one another. In some cases there might even be some knowledge of who was last leading a vampire community in some city though that information might be decades or more old if the last contact predated phone or computer communication.
