Didn't you think? This is a serious gaming forum, not some back alley from the Moscow Art Theatre.
And seriously, in such complex settings, the only thing that allows you not to get confused and at least somehow keep up with the game is a clear structure of the setting with all the necessary information. Because even GMs sometimes manage to get confused in their own setting.
And in such complex settings, it is considered good form to make life easier for players and provide all the necessary information in the setting, rather than sending them to external resources. It's strange that a GM with your experience demonstrably ignores this rule of politeness.

1) "Serious gaming forum" and no tags to hide text? "Don't make me laugh!" (c) Okay, I'll dump ALL the necessary information into my post now - but you'll be the one complaining when you try to read it... and now imagine that the game is in progress, and you need to check the starting post several times a day to remind yourself of the characteristics of a particular character or to go to the list of newspapers... and each time you have to scroll through so many screens... :smile18: I remember once getting a RO (Reprimand Order) for "disrespect towards opponents" when I summarized the answers to dozens of comments from half a dozen users that had accumulated during the week I was away from the forum into one giant post with detailed explanations, quotes, analogies, and analysis - I wrote this massive post for five hours, added graphs and diagrams, and as a result, no one managed to read it, but several people complained to the moderator.
2) You know, when I played the same Chronicles of Amber, Game of Thrones, or Dune, I didn't see them posting biographies and worldviews of each character - those who wanted to were recommended to watch the movie or read the book... and people didn't have any complaints.
And also, regarding politeness: not everyone on this forum understands politeness in the same way. For example, Heroist never answered me, and given his behavior in the last game, he probably won't answer now... :smile10:


Regarding the proposed setting - it will be interesting to play, but the goals and conditions for victory for the factions are not specified.
