New Genesis

New Genesis is one of two home planets of the New Gods, ruled by the wise Highfather. Galactica, the world that would one day become New Genesis, and its dark twin Apokolips came into existence after the war that destroyed the Old Gods and split their homeworld of Urgrund into two entirely opposite planets within the Sphere of the Gods. The beings of Galactica were born from the living atoms of the Old God Balduur; their counterparts on Apokolips from the atoms of a mysterious Old God sorceress. The inhabitants of Galactica and Apokolips warred with each other for generations, locked in an eternal battle; this was the Third World. In time, they achieved true godhood, and forged Supertown, with their world rechristened as New Genesis, dawning the Fourth World.
At some point, the New God Izaya came to rule New Genesis. The long war with Apokalips continued until the New God Metron proposed a peace treaty bound by the exchange of the newborn sons of Darkseid and Izaya, a move that brought about a tenuous peace that both knew wouldn't last long. Some time ago, Apokolips' despot Darkseid visited New Genesis to encounter a young boy, a youth that was easily manipulated and corrupted by the evil God. This child followed Darkseid to Apokolips and became the Torture God known as Desaad.
In contrast to the industrial wasteland of Apokolips, New Genesis is covered in lush forests and grasslands filled with abundant flora and wildlife, alongside scattered ruins of Third World population centers destroyed in the long war against New Genesis' dark twin. The only urban location is Supertown, a floating city designed not to affect the planet's surface which is usually inhabited by a group known as the Primitives who decided to live a life free of Highfather's rule. This planet also hosts a race of super-evolved insectoids know simply as the Bugs of New Genesis, who have come to be accepted as equals by the Genesisians. Each Genesisian goes through a ceremony known as "The Rite of Ascension" that imbues them with power from the Source in order to officially become a New God.

Apokolips

Apokolips is an ecumenopolis with burning firepits, ruled by the despot Darkseid. The war that destroyed the Old Gods and created both New Genesis and Apokolips separated the Fourth World from the rest of the universe proper, leaving it accessible only by Boom Tubes.
The population is a downtrodden lot, including many that were kidnapped from other worlds before being "broken." The majority of the population are the Lowlies, a bald-headed and fearful race that has no sense of self-worth or value. The Lowlies are subject to constant abuse that ends only with death. Many Lowlies formed a group named the Hunger Dogs and rebelled against Darkseid, though they were, and remain, unsuccessful. Slightly above them are the Parademons, who serve as the keepers of order on the planet. Higher above the Parademons are the Female Furies, who are Darkseid's personal guards (male Furies also exist, but are less common). They are blessed with unnatural strength and longevity and are allowed to develop as individuals. This exposure to new concepts often results in them developing comical or garish personalities that contrast strongly with the immense sadism that is required to reach their positions. The leaders of the Furies are Granny Goodness, who sports the appearance of a matronly old woman while being the most powerful of the guards, and Kanto, who enjoys a unique position as Darkseid's master assassin. The chief guard, Big Barda, had a third position under Granny, which has not been filled since her defection from the group.
Surprisingly, Apokolips is second to New Genesis in technological advancement. With their technology, they are the height of power in most of the universe and are able to devastate galaxies when they choose to use it. Apokoliptian technology is furthermore the source of unparalleled misery in the universe as the planet routinely arms evil groups with advanced technology in order to further its influence (and misery) across the universe.

Olympus (Earth-1)

Mount Olympus is the home of the Olympian Gods, located in the greater dimension of the godly realm. The general public is not aware of the dimension of Mount Olympus. They only believe it is a mythological place, conflated with the earthly Mount Olympus, the highest peak in Greece. Twelve great gods live on Mount Olympus, attended by various minor gods: Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Hermes, Athena, and either Hestia or Dionysus. Hades is one of the major gods, but dwells in a separate dimension, the Underworld.
Paradise Island, the home of the Amazons, has connections to Mount Olympus. In the reality of Earth-One, Paradise Island was briefly transported from Earth to the same dimension as Olympus in order to recharge the powers of its residents. When the worship of the Olympian gods began in ancient Rome thousands of years ago, they established a second Olympus in the mountains of Italy, which became the home of their Roman counterparts.

Titans

The Titans were the pre-Olympian gods of Ancient Greece, replacing the primordial gods and preceding the Gods of Mount Olympus. They are the children and progeny of Ouranus (Sky) and Gaea (Earth). In the beginning there was only Chaos and from that Chaos was Gaea, the future mother of the Titans, spawned into existence. Gaea self-produced a son known as Ouranus and took him as her mate to eventually bore the twelve offspring that would be known as the Titans. Ouranus was very proud of the Titans for their physical perfection, but Gaea had other children known as the Cyclopes, who had one eye in the center of their heads, and the many-armed Hecatoncheiroi. Ouranus hated his other children and exiled them into the other-dimensional world of Tartarus.
Eventually Ouranos went mad and began to seek the destruction of his Titan offspring. Gaea greatly grieved for her past children and called upon her one of her sons to depose of Ouranus and free his siblings from the Underworld. None of her sons would raise a weapon against Ouranus except for Cronus, the eldest of the Titans, who used a sickle to castrate Ouranus and dismember his corpse. The dying Ouranus prophesied that Cronus would be overthrown by one of his own sons.

Olympus (Earth-616)

Olympus was one of the God Realms, among the Inner Planes,[2] a small "pocket" dimension adjacent to Earth and accessible via an interdimensional nexus located somewhere on Mount Olympus in Greece, and a small other-dimensional planetary body whose nature and physics are different from those of planetary bodies in the Earthly dimension.
Olympus serves as the home to the Olympian gods. Olympus resembles the Asgard (Realm), although it is no bigger than a large city. This relatively flat asteroid-like landmass is suspended in space, and is surrounded by what its inhabitants call “the Abyss.” It is not known if Olympus's source of light and heat is Earth's sun, or a glowing ball of light dissimilar to a star in most of its properties. Unlike Earth, where the force of gravitation radiates from the mass of the planet, Olympus has gravity, which apparently radiates from some point or object beneath the suspended landmass. Consequently, there is a topside to Olympus, upon which beings can stand.

Asgard

Asgard properly refers to the land in which the Aesir reside, but is used as a blanket term for the entire world inhabited by the Norse Gods, including specific locales such as Valhalla or Skarnheim. Drawn directly from Norse mythology, Asgard is the home of a powerful pantheon of Gods, including Thor. It is a small, other-dimensional planetoid (its surface area being about the same as the continental United States), whose nature and physics are different from those of planetary bodies in the Earthly dimension. Asgard is a part of the Nine Worlds.
Asgard is not a sphere like the Earth, but a relatively flat landmass suspended in space. Asgard does not rotate about its axis, nor does it revolve around a sun. Asgard does have intervals of night and day (of undisclosed duration), so some object or force functions as a sun. There is no evidence of changing seasons, however portions of Asgard are in perpetual winter while others are in perpetual summer. Asgard's gravity apparently radiates from somewhere below it (assuming gravity works there as it does here): there is a "top" and a "bottom" to Asgard. At the edges of Asgard's landmass, a being or object can fall into a void, but some unknown force apparently keeps the edges themselves from eroding.
The same force also prevents the bodies of water along Asgard's boundaries from pouring into the void and prevents Asgard's atmosphere from escaping. Asgard has been described as floating on a "Sea of Space." This sea apparently has a surface, one that is navigable by Asgardian ships, which resemble Viking longboats. The exact nature of space within the Asgardian dimension is unknown. While Asgard's gravity is roughly analogous to Earth's, common matter is considerably denser on average. For instance, a chair made of Asgardian wood is heavier and stronger than a chair made of Earthly wood. Rock, water, flesh, bone, steel: all matter is denser and thus more durable.
