Gentoo has "system" and "world" - in concept almost the same thing

Apologies if this has been pointed out already.

However, on most of my machines "system" is empty (went that way soon
after each install - no idea why) so all I am left with is "world".  Is
there any way to regen "system"? (like regenworld does for world?)
Perhaps a "system" file can be manually created using only the packages
from world that the user wants?
