    Interesting. It wouldn't be obvious to me about the terminus link but it sounds good. I don't know. :superthink:

    I think you mean double-postiusing. FWIW if the name 'Utopius' was meant to describe the people, the name (even though made up), it seems misaligned. Utopia is a place to aspire to getting to, like your Nirvanas, your Elysiums and your Shangri-las. For the arrogant kind you said inhabit your new country... why not have 'Egopia' or 'Hubrius' ?

    I have to admit your point makes a lot of sense...But, perhaps I can explain this... people of the country named their nation "Utopius" to send the message that they are a perfect society when really they're not. But their motto is to reach perfection. But I dunno still got a lot to learn in the world of writing--But I'm sticking with the name, I think its good

    Apologies. I took a dubious, sinuous position in creating a subliminal plant. Too cryptic, crap and loose at best. ;)

    There's only "I" in "Utopius" though. But, nice little subliminal joke there. :superagree::supergrin:
