How deep does the Underdark go?

I toyed with the underdark for a while in my fantasy world, and probably
will toy with it again.  Even though I've more or less estabilshed that
the planet on which my world sits is round, I figure that it is a
fantasy world so all sorts of improbable things can happen.

That being said, I don't think that the characters ever made it even
1000 feet underground.  They talked to some residents of the underdark,
who referred to interconnecting caves and passages that form a
three-dimensional underground world that spans much of the known surface
world-- "a whole new world" in other words.  The characters in this
world had been into "dungeons" before, but never into the interconnected
underdark.

I haven't yet decided how much I will do with this, although I have set
up a "loosely allied" state (a very small one) underneath the wilderness
kingdom that the PCs in this world are currently trying to found.
