-Suffice to say, enough Drizzt novels have sold to warrant WotC to continue publishing Drizzt novels. |

From the Cyclopedia of the Realms in the Ol' Gray Box:-
"The Forgotten Realms are a world very similar to the Earth of the 13th and 14th centuries."
That's about as close as you're likely to get. Aside from the other tidbits Ed has mentioned in his replies here at Candlekeep with respect to real-world influences upon the Realms -- especially in his '06 and '07 replies. |

The Realms isn't, as a whole, based on any real-world geographic location or timeframe.
I don't know that WotC has ever released any numbers for book sales. |
