Bhogabhūmi
Thirty regions where kalpavṛkṣa trees supply everything, nobody works, and nobody is liberated.
Six types, five of each across the human world: Haimavat Kṣetra, Hari Kṣetra, Ramyak Kṣetra, Hairaṇyavat Kṣetra, Devakuru and Uttarakuru. Add the 56 Antardvīpas islands as a degraded variant.
People are born as twin pairs, live a fixed span in perfect health, and die together without illness. Ten kinds of wishing-tree provide food, drink, vessels, clothing, ornament, garlands, fragrance, light, music and shelter.
It is a real, sincere paradise and the tradition treats it as a dead end. Where there is nothing to give up, giving up is impossible, and giving up is the whole mechanism. This is the clearest thing Jain cosmology says about what it values.
