The dictionary definition of a utopian society is “any real or imaginary society, place, state, etc. , considered to be perfect or ideal”. I have a proposal for a fictional utopian society that can create a perfect world. The name of this utopia is Neotopia. Neotopia is a worldwide concept that unites the world under one society. The problem our society has is that it is so disconnected and the different countries of the world don’t always get along. Neotopia has a very different view of government, laws, religion, education, and occupation that we are used to in our current society.
Geological Factors Neotopia has the same geography from the current world’s geography. Think of it this way Neotopia is the current earth but with only one country. As I mentioned in the previous paragraph Neotopia is a united society with one country, government, religion, language, and education. Neotopian’s communicate either by sending letters to each other or talking face-to-face. By having communication by letters or face-to-face conversation it unites the people compared to our current society with so many forms of communication where people don’t have a meaningful conversation.
The mode of transportation used is strictly to benefit the environment. There is no gas or diesel powered motor vehicles only electric, the belief of having only electric car will help and preserve the environment for future generations. Another beneficial environment technology they use is solar power. Neotopian’s want to preserve the earth so they no longer burn fossil fuels because of the scientific proof of climate change, they only use solar panel technology as their power source. Government The government in Neotopia is a communist government. In Neotopia there is only one ruler, the official title of the ommunist ruler is the Boraxtor.
The Boraxtor’s job it to control the people and make sure that fair treatment is being used across the society. The Boraxtor also has a small group of 7 Advisors. Each year the Boraxtor has to choose a new set of advisors, by choosing a new set of advisors it prevents the government from getting corrupted. The Advisor’s do have a say when it comes to the Boraxtor’s power. At the end of their year service they take an anonymous survey on how the Boraxtor ruled that year, the tips the Advisors leave then go back to the Boraxtor.
The Boraxtor uses those tip to help him become a better ruler. The Boraxtor rules until he feels someone else should rule, the way a new Boraxtor is chosen is from all the past Advisors. The old Boraxtor chooses the new Boraxtor from a list of his old Advisors. This is the best way for a new ruler to be choses since the Advisors already know how to control the people Laws The Boraxtor approves all the laws, but he can’t make his own laws, Advisors also don’t have the right to make laws.
The way laws are made if by the Neotopian’s submitting laws ideas, after the law ideas are made they all get sent to the Advisors who then read through the law entrees. After the Advisors choose the laws that they feel will benefit the country all the surviving laws get sent to the Boraxtor who then approves the laws he like and releases them to the public. Prerogative, which is the belief that a high power has the right to change and make laws, does not exist in Neotopia. Prerogative gives the Boraxtor to get too powerful which will corrupt the government.
Laws are only in effect for 5 years, after 5 years if the citizens still want the law to be in effect they must go through the whole law making process. Religion The goal of Neotopia is to unite everyone together, so the way to do that is by having one religion and that religion is Christianity. By having one religion it eliminates controversial argument between citizens. Having one religion that everyone follows means combing the church and the government, connecting the two helps both the church and the government. It helps the church because all the laws that are passed apply with the true religious beliefs.
It helps the government because people won’t revolt against the government for going against their religious belief because the government is involved with the Christian church. Also have a religion in Neotopia gives people hope during tough time and gives them the strength to keep moving and hope for the best. Education Since Neotopia is a communist government everything is shared upon all the Neotopian’s even education. All education starting from first grade to your doctorate degree is free. Everyone my complete up to a bachelor’s degree if not they will only be able to complete low level jobs like janitorial services.
The reason for this is because the Neotopian government want Neotopia to improve as a society and to do that they want all their citizens to have a full in depth knowledge of the education for their desired job occupation. Even the Boraxtor and his Advisors have to have their PhD in government ethics. With the Boraxtor and his Advisors highly educated they know how to control the Neotopian government. Occupation Like I mentioned in the previous paragraph education is free so you may choose a job that goes with your education chose.
But in Neotopia everything is free and since everything is free you don’t need a steady income for the work you do. Yes that is right, in Neotopia you work for free. The reason being is because the government gave you so much like a free education so the most you could do is pay it back to the community. Also, the job you start with is the job you end with you can’t change your job so it’s best to choose a job you are going to be happy with. The job you choose does not come with health benefits. The reasoning why is because Neotopia needs to control its population some how.
The way to it is by not having health care easily accessible and letting the population die off. That goes back to my point about religion the Neotopian’s have a strong belief and connection with God and they use that as hope. Neotopia is my proposal for a utopian society we could use to help our current society. In Neotopia they have one country, government, religion, language, and education. The society of Neotopia care’s a lot about the environment and how we need to preserve it. When it comes to Neotopia government they are a communist government that has one ruler called the Boraxton and his 7 Advisors.
The Boraxtor has the power to pass laws but not to make the laws, and Neotopian’s have to go through a long 3-step process to get a law passed. Religion in Neotopia is one religion, which is Christianity, and everyone in Neotopia has religious beliefs. Also health benefits are not offered in Neotopia to help population size and to bring citizens closer to God. Education is free in Neotopia from first grade to a doctorate degree, everyone in Neotopia must complete up to a bachelor’s degree. Finally your job, in Neotopia you work for free to help the government out since they helped you so much by giving you everything for free.
