The Kingdoms of Kalamar
My personal favourite would be the Kingdoms of Kalamar Capaign setting put out by Kenzer and Co. simply because it was the first setting I ever really picked up, read and made my own. Sure, I've made myself a few impromptu settings for a quick campaign, but Kalamar gave me something quite cool to work with and build upon.
At heart I'm a political junkie, so I dig the background stuff that is either directly or indirectly alluded to in the book. I regret, however, that I've only had the chance to run a single campaign so far...
It was basically a campaign that revolved around conflicts the Kingdom of Eldor was involved in... I introduced gunpowder of gnomish design and dwarven manufacture, and thereby annihilated the elven Realm of Lendelwood which held a great strategic resource value to the King of Eldor, Brenbol the First. Soon afterward, the PCs struck out on their own, and one began pushing the design of Final Fantasy-esque sky ships to the Kingdom of Cosdol (the most magically capable nation in the West).
This began a great arms race between Cosdol and Eldor. It culminated in the reunification of Mendarn, Cosdol and Eldor into Greater Brandobia.
It was a good campaign, in my opinion anyway, but I think I'll go back and make it that the airships were in fact more akin to zepplins without the hydrogen than they were FF-esque airships...
Further down the road, I intend to keep my timeline going, since I've all my notes from before, hehe.
In any event, I like the Kingdoms of Kalamar.

Actually I'm rather sure Talindra wasn't even aware of the other poll, seeing as how this thread was originally posted in the D&D rules forum. Lighten up, I doubt anyone would make another poll just because they don't like KoK.
