Ideal World

1) My ideal world would be full of technology, mostly cities, but it would also be mixed with a little bit of fantasy, castles and such. A blending of the two. The buildings would all look old and hobbled together, but in everyday life there would be extremely advanced technologies to help with the little tasks. Nothing would be simpler because of technology, it would just be a simple "this is the way it is".

2) This ideal world would not be on earth, it would have to be on another planet, maybe even in another time.

3) The colors would be very rich, dark reds and purples in the natural environment. In a "man-made" environment the colors would all be little glowing spots of blue or green surrounded in black.

4) Sonic screwdrivers (Doctor Who reference there, ha) would be a must, because opening doors is just so much more fun that way. Any electronics would be tools designed to better help their users. Hovercraft ships (that look like curvy blue boxes) drawn by a horse-like species (who are animal, not intelligent) would be transportation. Weapons would be swords that transmit electricity, so they shock to kill more than cut, providing a quicker death. Hologram screens. In the more natural world there would be things like animals and trees and all that stuff, but also a surprising amount of precious gems, which are useful because they give off light, hence their light sources instead of lightbulbs. They are not as valuable because there are so many of them. Books also exist in wide variety, but they are written with special ink on special paper so they will never fade or fall apart.

5) Robots. No artificial intelligence exists here. Time machines also do not exist. No statues or monuments are in this world (because there was this one crazy scientist this one time who brought them to life as a personal army and tried to take over the world. He failed and they were all destroyed)

6) The types of people living there would be from all walks of life. There is a Lower City, which is pretty much the slums, except instead of selling drugs they sell mood patches (almost the same thing). Then there would be the Middle City, where all the normal, middle class people live. These people are the laborers, the workers needed to keep the city functional and running. Most specialize in a certain area, like plumbing or technology repairs. Then comes the Upper City, where all the elites live. This includes the great scientists and technicians who come up with inventions. Intelligence is the highest value, and when people there are young they are given tests to determine their intelligence levels in various areas. Those with exceptionally high scores are allowed to move up in rankings and are given more privileges and responsibilities. The government is constructed of a Council, each member of which gets an equal vote. The members are elected from each social class by the social class they will represent. Men and women both have equal standing in society.

7) Communication would be, for the most part, face to face, actually talking. They are really focused on knowing people personally, and conceder it rude to not show your face while talking to someone. If a secure, faithful relationship has been established between two people, then they might use phones to communicate while apart, however, these are mostly only used if a quick discussion is necessary and they are not able to meet in person.

8) There are two suns, that rise and set in the north and south, constantly, so there is never night, only day, except for when one is setting and one is rising. The grass is red and the mountains stretch taller than anywhere else in the universe. But the cities are the most magnificent. Each is like its own little skyscraper island, connected to others through a network of bridges that stretch like a spiderweb across the earth. From space, each city glows with blue and green lights, but the buildings are spaced so they spell out the name of the city from above, so travelers from other planets know where each city is.
