In my experience, the best scenario is one in which you provide the groundwork for the players, but let them define the reality. In other words, provide an in-depth historical background from which they can glean information, but allow for them to apply that knowledge to the current situation(s) as they develop.
If you make it too rigid, then there's no freedom for the players, and they will resent it, and the RP will suffer. Too freeform, and they will not know what to do, and resent it, and RP will suffer. Involve the players, if you can, even betatesters. If they ask for more depth on something, provide it.
