Immediately after the world name come the beast defs and string table.

====Beast defs====
The beast defs are composed of a List of string-lists; each string-list is a List of String structures which contain the raw tags defining a forgotten beast, demon, titan, or night creature.

====String tables====
The string tables enumerate all the raw section names used by the save.

Each section is a List of String structures containing the name of a raw object; there are a total of 19 sections:

# INORGANIC materials
# PLANT types
# BODY types
# BODYGLOSS entries
# CREATURE entries
# ITEM types
# BUILDING types (custom workshops)
# ENTITY classes
# WORD entries
# SYMBOL entries
# TRANSLATION entries (languages)
# COLOR entries
# SHAPE entries
# COLOR_PATTERN entries (also includes COLOR entries)
# REACTION entries
# MATERIAL_TEMPLATE types
# TISSUE_TEMPLATE types
# BODY_DETAIL_PLAN entries
# CREATURE_VARIATION types

===World data===

# List of 8-byte records
# int32 (or List?)
# List of int32s -- civ ids?
# List of int32s -- unit ids?
# List of int32s
# List of 8-byte records -- confirm
# List of int32s
# List of int32s -- confirm
# int32 (or List?)
# int32 (or List?)

====New in 0.34.xx====
These are only present if the save version is 1372 or greater.

# List of int32s
# List of int32s -- book/slab ids?
# int32 (or List?)
# int32 (or List?)
# int32 (or List?)

Next up, we have the confusing bit: a tangled mess of roughly 8 bajillion List structs, often in pairs, with record sizes that vary according to a convoluted schedule, 
which may or may not based on a combination of:
* the hexagrams of the I Ching
* Martian lunar cycles
* the migratory patterns of Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni
* chord progression in Welsh hip-hop

Anyway, here's my attempt at automagically parsing the struct (hex dumps manually cleaned of funky gibberish):
