The first work describing a utopian society was Plato’s Republic. It is a description of a society with an environment as preferable and equal as one could imagine. Also, the Republic consists of a model for social, governmental, legislative and resource distribution rules necessary for the society to keep its sustainability. Characterized by its fixed system of social classes the model of society that is presented in Republic could be perceived by contemporary standards as dystopian.
