Question Question Regarding the Forgotten Realms

I've never played "Pen 'n' Paper" D&D or read any books about the FR. The only thing I've done that relates to the FR is play BG1, BG2 and IWD1. Following the stories and reading the histories in these games have made me curious about the world that they are based in, so in my spare time I try to read up a little on the FR. In reading some of the posts already posted here, it seems as though Faerun is just one continent in a specific world. However, this brings up more questions
- Are there other worlds/continents?
- Which worlds/continents are the most popular and thus most campaigns tend to be set in?
- And where specifically are the most popular settings within that world/continent?
- For example: I've recently found a map of "Faerun" and am very curious as to which location is the most popular for campaigns; the Sword Coast? Thay? The Moonshai Isles? Halruaa? etc., etc., etc.,....

Any info on this would be greatly appreciated.
