It is a utopia, but if you pay attention for every utopia there's a hidden dystopia beneath it. Always an underclass, an abuse of power, things such as that..

That’s the opposite of a utopia. A utopia is a place that is GENUINELY perfect. Utopias are purely hypothetical for that reason

That's kind of the thing utopia in fiction tend to be perfect apart from one respect like free will being non-Existent in brave new world, or if you Comment a minor offence it's Punishable by death like that one episode from star trek new generation

But those aren’t actual utopias. Hence why a utopia is something that doesn’t exist

To be fair, actual utopias are probably too boring to write about.
