Draw Hex Grid not matching up
Hexes doesn't align to the top, they normally align to the lower left of the area, which is normally in the bottom left corner of the map.
And since hexes are complicated size-wise due to their geometry, a hex of size 100 miles will be 100 miles side-to-side, but 115.47 miles corner to (opposite) corner, a vertical hex of size 100 won't divide neatly into 500 miles. Rather, due to the alternating nature of hexes, every two hexes will take up 173.205 miles, or an average of 86.103 miles per hex (alternating between 115.47 and 57.735).
Now, you can influence this yourself. When you hit the :CC2HEX: button and set up the overlay, instead of clicking apply to set the grid automatically, click select points instead. Now, place the first point in the top left of your map, and the second in the bottom right. This should create a grid centered on that point.
And do remember you can place points precisely by using the modifiers, such as the endpoint modifier to put it exactly in the corner, or the snap feature if you set up a proper rectangular snap grid first.

Your favourite settings? (worlds)
I have to agree with Ralf, my own setting, Virana, has to be my favorite. I loved the forgotten Realms for many years, that is where I started my journey, first by playing computer games like Eye of the Beholder, and later pen'n'paper games set there.
But, while all the detail is wonderful, I also found it a bit limiting in the end, so I created my own world and never looked back. It allowed me to make a world that was a perfect match to the campaigns I wanted to run.
I am not good at updating the Wiki, so only basic information and maps can be found there, but it is an overview at least.
