You don't really need a specific world for that. Just look for a few things:

Surface Water (Rivers, lakes, streams, brooks. Avoid oceans; salt water can't be used as is. A stream or brook is probably the best to start.)
Plant Life (Woodland and Dense Shrubs will give you much more to work with.)
No Aquifer (They're signaled with dark blue squiggles on the right, next to the stone layers; get an embark without them. Aquifers are layers of infinite groundwater, which can lead to little stone a lots of FUN.)
Low Savagery (Look for an embark with the Surroundings reading either Calm or Serene.)

Beyond that, it's up to you.

Build a wall (b -> c -> w) all around your fort.
Profit.

Edit data/init/d_init.txt and disable invaders and economy. Much less !FUN! that way.

Don't wall off your entire fort, you'll need caravans and immigrants, wall off most of it, but leave 1 3 tile wide antrance, and put traps there.

Make stone mechanisms and wooden cages, install cage traps in entrance corridor, and if things get dangerous, command everyone to stay in the food+beer area Burrow. For catching wildlife to eat, make
long wall with trapped gap in the middle and traps at the ends.

the lazy newb pack has custom world gen option that is exactaly what your talking about. it also contains a few utilitys that make things easier(i only use dwarf therapist though), it also has graphic tilesets built in .

only downside is that its only version .16, but you can change that if you fell like doing a little bit of looking for the updated versions of the utilities.
