Some detail regarding politics and local relations
Some detail regarding religion
Some detail regarding non-human races/settlements (if they exist)
Some detail regarding random encounters (both hostile and non-hostile)
Current events

GW, These are already things I've considered, but I'm trying to get a feel for detail levels...

If you pick up a campaign setting book, would you rather it cover two worlds, at three time periods, vaguely, with a promise for more detailed books later? Or would you want each nation-state covered in the detail for all three time periods? Or would you want a world overview, 1 or 2 nations covered in extreme detail for each time period, and some promise expansion of details for the rest?
