Each area in FR has its own background and history, sometimes very in-depth and complex. Which is why a DM has so much flexability in FR. There are way more campain ideas and histories in FR than you will ever be able to incoorporate into any one game. The Forgotten Realms Campain Setting describes regions, cities, politics, culture etc. This is the DM's tool for chooseing where his game is and why.
Also, FR has been around for well over 20 years. This means that there is a very rich history behind the realms, and tons of source books are available from 1stE to 2E to 3E.
