That's certainly not the case. My files upon files of Gloranthan "facts" - population numbers, detailed censuses, detailed maps going down to the small city, etc - were created by Greg (and not me - I just edit it, arrange it, and get it illustrated). Many are more than 30 years old.

This information serves a very important role - to make Gloranthan societies believable. You don't need any of that to run a Gloranthan game, and even less to play in it. But if you want to write the background of a region (and get it published) you ought to keep those sorts of details in mind.
