"Does Utopia Exist? What is Perfect?"

What is Perfect?
People say perfect does not exist. Perfect is just a figment of a person's mind. It's something people create in their mind to be what they feel is all they want in life. My definition of perfect, of course, will not fit everyone's expectations. But I don't live up to expectations and this is what I feel perfect is.

Government

There is a Leader/President and they are elected and voted on. There aren't really any branches of government. Just the Leader and the People.
There is only one law/rule.
"You can do whatever you want as long as you are not hurting/harming anyone or anything."
If they break that law the appropriate consequence will be seeked.

Community

Part A~
Family, Race, Religion, culture, language, and Wealth.
There are different groups and expressions of individuality but there are not certain levels of wealth, culture, nor language. There are different opinions but there are not certain clubs for different ways of thinking and opinions. I say, we should be able to name children how we choose and should get to pick the number of children we'd like to have therefore there will be no family plan in this utopian society. I do not force people to think a certain way or like certain things but we try to encourage people to think the same and stay on the same page instead of roaming off on their own direction. We'll have homes and cars but there will be about the same structure and design. We are a community and we make community decisions altogether but there is no "You have to like this to be a part of this community" or "you have to be like this to be a part of this community." Of course there is music, and food and books and everyone shares common interests in them and they get to choose what they like and what they don't but there will be no forcing this onto them.

Part B~
