Several years into the future, most of planet earth has evolved into the Equalist Empire, the titular {{Utopia}} 58- so named because it is the fifty-eighth attempt at a [[DirtyCommunists communist paradise]]- where everyone and everything is designed to be equal. There are no genders, no ages, no colors, no names, and no differences between any individual of any kind. All must wear white robes, masks, and voice mudulators to disguise themselves from one another. Anyone who doesn't abide by these rules can and ''will'' be punished, even if it means imprisonment or death, and even [[{{Thoughtcrime}} forbidden thoughts]] are punished via electrocution. [[BigBad The Father]], a man shrouded in mystery but who is said to be the creator of the universe, rules over the empire with his elite, ensuring no one rises above their position.

Added DiffLines:
* IndividualityIsIllegal: To enforce Isonomia's twisted obsession with equality, everyone is forced to wear identical masks and robes to disguise their bodies, and voice modulators mask everyone's voices so no one can tell what gender anyone is. Everyone also has [[YouAreNumber6 names instead of numbers]] to further enforce the idea that no one is an individual.

* ApatheticCitizens: Most of the people in Isonomia know that the world is crumbling around them, and that people are routinely abused, arrested, or executed in the middle of the streets. None of them care, and just continue about their day. Justified as this is actually enforced by the government- anyone actually thinking or showing concern is shocked by their mindcap as punishment for [[{{Thoughtcrime}} having forbidden thoughts]]. In this way, the citizens are conditioned into apathy.

Added DiffLines:
* NoSexAllowed: Children are grown in vats instead, and since everyone has to wear robes and masks to hide their gender, copulation would destroy the illusion. Of course, that only applies to the common citizenry- the elite can hold wild sex parties with {{sex slave}}s all they want.
