Utopia

From Wikimerica, the United States encyclopedia

**Utopia** officially **Heaven on Earth** was a nation that spanned large parts of Africa during its existence from 2123 until its destruction in 2315. It was one of the most brutal and secretive authoritarian states in history as its population was kept in a constant state of ignorance and fear. It was heavily militaristic and would enter into perpetual states of warfare with its neighbors Nigeria and Egypt. It claimed to control the entirety of the planets surface but it's reach never extended past the Sahara desert in Africa.

Founded post-doomsday by Joshua Castille it was intended as an experiment of psychological torture to see if the world described in George Orwell's novel Ninteen Eighty-Four could be successfully implemented in a real world environment. The land of the Sahara was selected for being uninhabited and not claimed by any nation as the post doomsday world destroyed the governments residing there and killed off its populations. Castille lured refugees from other nations across the globe for his experiment and worked in tandem with human trafficking groups to provide stolen people to inhabit the nation with the promise of freedom and a new start.

Utopia utilized many of the same tactics used in George Orwell's book to control the masses to great effect. The early years of the nation saw the State intentionally force the citizens to commit acts that would damn them to hell or damnation in their own religions. Castille wished to ensure that the pain felt on earth would continue after death for eternity.

Castille was officially "Supreme Sovereign of Heaven on Earth" during his lifetime however after dying at an unknown time the central figurehead was replaced by a child named Oliver Comstock who was either an abused child raised from birth with party doctrine or a farmers boy rescued from a pack of wolves who had killed his family. His existence has however never been confirmed and it is exceedingly likely Oliver never existed at all or was killed by the party shortly after becoming their figurehead.

Utopia refused cooperation or contact with outside world and used nations like the United States as propaganda to illiterate the horrors of the pre-revolution world, while also claiming the United States never existed past 2110. The population of Utopia was kept in a manufactured state of constant poverty and malnutrition. Labour was almost entirely automated as to prevent the population from ever holding the means of production and threatening the order of society.

Castille, a physiologist, spent years mastering the ability to cut off people's ability to feel emotions like joy and pleasure. Reproduction was as well automated as intercourse became punishable by death in 2157. All labour was automated as a means of stripping the masses of the means of production so they could never hold society hostage and threaten the State.

It is unknown when exactly Joshua Castille died as there exist no records of his death and his body has never been recovered. There also exists no records of leadership guiding Utopia after its establishment. It has never been confirmed when Castille died and who was running the nation after. There are also a small group of historians convinced that Joshua Castille never existed at all.

In 2145 President Otto Cromwell of the United States became increasingly worried at the state of affairs in Utopia and opted to launch a first strike offensive to liberate its population. This would end in disaster as 147 Americans were killed in America's shortest war.

Utopia sought to terrorize its citizens through a slow process of re-engineering human psychology and biology to produce extreme amounts of pain at random intervals, to rewire the brain to associate eating nutrients with being burned alive. To make suicide impossible by associating the idea of suicide with extreme pain, enough to immobilize the victim making the carrying out of suicide impossible

The subject of constant international condemnation it received U.N. condemnation every single year it existed. 192 condemnations for every year it always ranked as the most brutal regime during its time. This condemnation came before knowledge of the extent of human torture conducted within its borders. Both U.S. Presidents Otto Cromwell and U.S. Emperor Thorton Echevarria would attempt to wage total war against Utopia in an attempt to liberate the Sahara but both attempts ending in overwhelming American defeat. In 2310 the United States of Earth was formed for the first time ever uniting nearly the entire planet under a single social, economic and trade union. One of the earliest goals of the U.S.E. was to assemble a coalition of nations around the globe large enough to overwhelm Utopia and finally bring it down. In 2312 the global coalition, lead by the United States and President Vincenzo Stone would launch the first stages of their invasion of Utopia. During this time Utopia rewrote history as to declare the United States as having always been the enemy and the nation they were always at war with.

By late 2314 the coalition had made progress on the Utopian mainland. As coalition soldiers approached Pariah any resistance halted. Soldiers found Utopian leadership dead with no visible injuries. The war had not yet ended as the masses were still severely brainwashed and those who had enough physical strength to fight did so relentlessly. Reports show children dragging themselves towards American soldiers holding knifes and jagged chunks of metals. On December 26, 2315 Utopia was militarily defeated with citizen resistance continuing for years after. That same way the nation was declared dissolved.

The coalition was left with a nation of the dead as the population was severely malnourished and phytologically tortured. The mental rewiring the state had done was so successful that even after their fall it was deemed impossible to reverse the effects of the brainwashing and torture. Meaning 12 million people were left to live out a life of excruciating agony and torture of the feeling of burning alive and being stabbed in the neck and stomach. The land making of Utopia was deemed uninhabitable and refugees were relocated across the globe.
