Where did the idea come from? Greek word: oú (not) tóΠος (place) Utopia therefore means not an actual place, or not an existent society. First introduced by Sir Thomas Moore from his 1516 book Utopia about an island in the Atlantic Ocean. Utopian society's are usually related to: -nature and environment -peace -multicultural in accordance with the principles of the society -consensus style government.

What is a Utopia? Any real or imaginary society, place, state, etc, considered to be perfect or ideal. Possesses highly desirable or nearly perfect qualities for its citizens. If it is perfect, therefore there are no problems.
