It is an imaginary place written about in fiction by Sir Thomas More:

"More coined the word "utopia", a name he gave to an ideal, imaginary island nation whose political system he described in a book published in 1516." [Wikipedia]

The word has come to mean any ideal or perfect place. The made-up name based on Greek words actually means "no place." Although Thomas More never actually states exactly where Utopia is in the story, Raphael Hytholoday, the man who is the main character in the book, gives the impression that it is somewhere in the New World. This new world is most likely North America.

ANSWER: It borders mendacity in the state of wishful thinking and it's twin city is audacity. One mans utopia is another man's hell.
