I agree that our Galbar is lack-luster in geographical variation, and that a randomly generated map complete with oceans and continents looks much more interesting.

[@Double Capybara] The argument for starting at Level 3 is that Gods between Level 1 and 3 are actually equivalent to Demigods in power in Godspeed. Technically, Demigods can't create proper sentient life. So if they start at Level 3, then they can reach Level 4 by the end of the first Turn and then start exercising full power from there. Also, with your comparison to when Hain were made in Mk.2 on Turn 3, the first Turn in Mk.2 was spent inventing the universe so doesn't really count, so the hain were made on the second Turn on Galbar.

As for which section it should go in: I will reiterate that I don't know much about the dynamics of the Free section. But I will also repeat Kho's argument that we don't want Godspeed to take appreciable energy away from Divinus, for which it is important that it is kept light.

However, I probably won't join Godspeed either way, since I'm busy enough already. Have fun, though.
