This nonsense word is probably trying to mean something like "bad city." It is based on another made-up word, Dystopia, which is trying to be the opposite of Utopia, still another made-up word used as the title of a novel. If utopia really meant anything to begin with, (which it really doesn't) it would be "Not a place," i.e. "nowhere," from the Greek ou, (no or not) and topos (place, region). The real Greek word for "nowhere," is oudamou. Mistakenly assuming that Utopia means "good place," the made-up dys-topia ( from the prefix dys- meaning wrongly or badly) was coined to mean "bad place." Compounding the ignorance, dystopolis has the misapplied prefix dys- followed by the to- of topos, stuck onto the word polis, city or country. This is the kind of sophomoric word one might expect to find in a comic book -sometimes called a graphic novel.
