Help with Greyhawk Keywords for Heroquest RPG <long>

Understanding that this is primarily a D&D site, it’s also (I think) the best site to ask this sort of question.
I’ve much love for Greyhawk. I don’t want to run D&D. If you’re familiar with the Heroquest RPG then this will be easy for you. If not here are the basics;
Nationalities are expressed as Keywords as are occupations. A keyword is a list of abilities that everyone of that nation or occupation would be expected to know, the typical personality traits associated with them and the typical relationships someone of the occupation or nation may have. It assumes generalities as the norm and somewhat stereotypes- everyone in Greyhawk knows intelligent beings from Iuz’ empire are vile and they stereotype everyone from Furyondy as being chivalrous.
It’s not done by a long shot, and help would be appreciated. My goal is to use this for a play-by-post campaign, which I feel the HQ rule set lends itself to greatly.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Andy
