It really depends on the story you're trying to tell. If there's a lot of traveling, then you'll need more geography and consider the cultures you'll come into contact with. If it stays pretty close to home, then what affects the characters? Is there a religious conflict? Then you need to develop the religion. Etc.

What does the character interact with on a daily basis? How does s/he get food, shelter, spend the day? You should start with your character and look outward, I guess.

It's good to have a history and geography -- economy and politics -- sorted out to give the story more depth but if you don't like world building and it's not necessary, then I wouldn't sweat it.

Cool, thanks!

It's mainly focused around the application of a particular technology.

I am NOT looking forward to researching economics, though. Ugh. But it's kind of necessary for it to make any kind of sense. I know this is the one area where I'm most likely to have gaping plot holes, because I have zero concept of how numbers work IRL.
