Dwarf Fortress is an almost two decade project of interactive storytelling in the form of a video game. They've modeled the world down to an incredible level including personal relationships between people, races, and nations, skill growth, a mostly correct geologic model, the depth of this game is immense. The lives of each person alive in the simulated world are recorded and details are explorable etc. They model the languages spoken by the various races, basically an incredibly creative group of people just recursively modeled the world for something like 15 years adding depth where they wanted and the result is Dwarf Fortress.
