Curse you, Chaosium!
But then, Ptolus is also a serious contender in a way.

Regarding the amounts of little fiction bits and historical chuncs: the mix is very good, and there is hardly any superfluous stuff in it. Only a few instances of really important events turning into a kind of long cut scene, but the rest is mostly turned into adventures, adventure seeds and events the players can get involved in.
