Screenmonkey,
It really depends on where you separate out the "mechanic" and the "setting".

Advanced Chargen, for instance, has loads of information about the setting just in the types of occupations you can pursue, the descriptions for each occupation, etc. So, do you call that "mechanic" or "setting"?

I would say, however, that a good breakdown (if you consider all the pieces of information strewn throughout the mechanic) to be about 25% mechanic and 75% setting.

Yeah. That feels about right. And the majority of the mechanic are the multitudinous occupations--each with a little insight and descriptions for the way they fit into the world.
