Believe it or not, Julie A. still works there as a customer service rep! I just had the misfortune of emailing her as well. Still rude and still unprofessional almost 3 years later. It's clear they don't care how many more customers they lose due to their incompetent customer service department.

OMFG That is absolutely repulsive! 🤢 The Op Games has one of the worst customer service departments in the world. I just had to deal with them too, and I will never buy another game with their logo on it again.

I often play RPGs in established worlds from other media or in worlds that I can describe by analogy to other media. I might write a quick blurb on our message board before the game begins and a brief verbal description before we play. If he characters were raised in the society of the world in question then I generally give them contextual information as it becomes relevant,

Brief history of nation/kingdom and its relations to neighbors which would account for dispositions of people, politics, and attitudes regionally.
More detailed description of immediate vicinity, usually the town or county they are operating in.
And the current issue/crisis that is the over-arching concern of the people they will encounter.
Any more, and they won't read it and they won't retain it.
In general, if it is not something that will come up in every session, I don't mention it in the read ahead. If I mention it in the read ahead, then I better use it often or it wasn't as relevant as I imagined it to be.
