We have that now, and we call it "Earth." Is it some other metaphysical realm, where the damned wander with nothing to do and no purpose in life, or are they able to do stuff? Can they build societies and invent stuff and throw parties, or is it a universe where balloons and chocolate frosting do not exist?
Are you serious in your asking?

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
