Utopia 
Utopia is a perfect world. In utopias there are not problems like war, disease, poverty, oppression, discrimination, inequality and so forth. The word utopia is made-up from Greek roots by Sir Thomas Moore in 1516. More wrote a book called Utopia. Depending on the Greet roots used, utopia can either mean 'no place' or 'good place'. 
Have you happened upon the term 'utopia' in a current context?

Dystopia
Dystopia, on the other hand, is a world in which nothing is perfect. The problems that plague our world are often even more extreme in dystopias. Dystopia is a play on the made-up word 'utopia' using the root 'dys', which means 'bad' or 'difficult'. Words like dysfunctional or dyslexia illustrate the use of this prefix.
