It's generally from researching a topic while working on a project. It's a bit like a cache of bookmarks, you don't really know what you're going to need until you've made some headway and found what was truly helpful that you may need later versus what you can safely close.

It doesn't support a procedurally generated world like you are asking but there was a game for Sega CD called Third World War that I loved to play that had a good balance of diplomacy, trade, and war.

It's probably less for him and made for family. People will sacrifice a lot for their kids.
