I think you're missing the most important step:
1. What need or desire among your playerbase or targetted playerbase is this area going to fill? Everything else proceeds from there.
I'd also think you can skip the "decide on good or evil" as that assumes a pretty one-dimensional approach to the world. Flushing out the theme kind of covers that step anyway, without having to limit yourself to one of two kinds of areas. (My theme will be....a community of artists dedicated to the pursuit of beauty above all else. My theme will be....an extra-planar fortress filled with cloud giants involved in internecine warfare over which God is most benevolent.)
