I want your opinion on this:

For about half a year now I've researched my novel. Because of situating the story to the part of an original Earth's history, I made my research about history, demography, major figures, weather, technologies of that time, and security issues, as well as the migration of whole hearth.

Materials piled.

Now I have my own changed history course of the entire species, its own culture, problems, migration, new state course like theology and more, pathology results for research across the world and everything else.

From my original planned book I have about one chapter and that chapter itself is a bit small. Just a few pages.

Main character doesn't have the whole history of his life, but about a half.

**Here is a problem:**

I have so much information about my _"remade world"_ that I can write its whole history like a book itself. And I like it so much. What would you do in my situation?

Would you write the history itself first, or just finish the life and story of the main character and some other characters needed for an original project and write it and after that will you write that history of your world itself?

Thanks for your advice.
