Utopias

Please be sure to read the description before you decide to submit a link here. It would be in your best interest to make sure your site is indeed relevant to Utopia's and Utopianism. Furthermore please follow all guidelines expressed in link submission with the proper descriptions. Utopianism and sites related to Utopias as a social issue are to be submitted here only please.

Utopia, or Utopias, are in effect perfect societies, otherwise free from war, violence, most crime, and disease. It is, in a sense, the "Perfect Society" or perfect place - having taken its roots from a work by Plato's Republic. There are many different kinds of Utopias, as they are based on attempting perfection - and most combine most or all of these types. Economic, political, social, scientific, and pretty much any other large area of society. Utopianism also falls under this category, as it is the movement toward utopias, and as such many of these movements involve political means to achieve their goals.
