==Overview== | ==Overview== | ||
Utopia is described by {{Transient icon|Algernon}} as a world where everything is accelerating. Computer networks have expanded so much that you can send info anywhere in the world in an instant. Things can be freely exchanged there, including energy, gravity waves, even genetic resources. Gold and silver can be easily produced, whereas things like beauty and even life spans can be manipulated. The societal system in Utopia revolves around efficiency in decision-making and action-taking. | |||
{{Transient icon|Otohime}} describes the world of Utopia as "a paradise that exists nowhere", and where ideals and reality become the opposite. | |||
