[snip a very interesting description of a book]

Oh, the local Isaac Asimov made a nice book. :]

And yes, this is a very interesting item, and setting. I'd love
to roleplay discovering things there...

>From a GM point of view, I think you'd have to:
* have the true background story on the place
* Have MAJOR landmarks (major oceans, major landmasses, unusual features
(Giant Mountains, anyone?), major roads, major people & species), thoroughly
detailed
* have some kind of encounter table, based on what you might be 'near' - 
  i.e. players are in an Tracked ATV going 30km/hr near a minor ancient
city.  Roll 2D6 and consult table

While it would be fun, it would take a GM years to set it up, unless you can
confine your players to a particular area.
