Utopia is an island-nation, named for its first ruler, Utopos. Once the nation of Sansculottia on an isthmus, Utopos' first act as ruler was to cut a channel that made the isthmus into an island. Utopia contains 54 large towns, all built using identical plans, and all referred to by number (i.e. "Town 1," "Town 24"). The nation has a strict and organized governmental and legal system, which can be most simply described as a republic- a system of internal checks and balances ensures equality for everyone in all things, be it wealth or foodstuffs.

Despite their seeming high level of cultural refinement, Utopians practice slavery, and all households are expected to be dominated by the eldest male. They see no glory in war, but have no problems engaging in it to expand their territory as needed. Religious tolerance is practiced, and Utopia is thus a very pious country, with a great respect for the churches. Crimes are harshly punished, as is even attempting to commit one.

Comments

"Utopia" has since become a term for an ideal, perfect society. The word literally translates into "no place", which indicates its unlikeliness even to the one who coined it.
