Utopia Vs Dystopia

Utopia is an ideal world, theorectically, its a place that excist with a visionary system of political or social perfection.

" The word was imported from Greek by Sir Thomas More for his 1516 book Utopia, describing a fictional island in the Atlantic Ocean. "

Used in both literature and modern society to describe a place of perfection or complete balance in a way, also expanded on and used in literature is its counterpart dystopia.
utopia is the state of being that is the best possible condition.  A utopia would be a situation, where everyone is happy, there is no sickness, no starvation, no poverty, etc.
" The word comes from the Greek: τόπος and means "no place". The English homophone eutopia, derived from the Greek εὖ and τόπος, means "good place". This, due to the identical pronunciation of "utopia" and "eutopia", gives rise to a double meaning."
