I've just assembled a party but we aren't meeting to make characters until later in the month. What can I do in the downtime if I have made a world map and countries?
Since I don't know the characters I can't exactly decide where they start and such can I?
Come up with various adventure hooks for what you already do have set and come up with ideas for where they could start. Figure certain races could start in one location whereas certain classes would start in another.

I've already begun woking on some "adventure guidelines", basically skeletons of quests and a story for the world. What they then want to do is sort of up to them, but it affects their starting positions depending on what races they choose.
Make some basic dungeon frameworks, fill in the details and specific enemies when you know what the climate, area etc is like.
Rumor tables.
Build a few dungeons, and a villain lair.
