Utopyc: The Libertarian Country That Abolished the State—and It Worked

What if, instead of imagining utopias ruled by all-powerful governments, we imagined one built on absolute freedom? And what if it wasn’t just a fantasy, but a vivid, realistic vision of a world where the State has vanished… and no one misses it?

That’s exactly what Utopyc offers—a bold, hopeful libertarian novel. Through the eyes of investigative journalist Gabriel Dan, readers are taken on a unique journey: the discovery of a stateless country. Not a post-apocalyptic wasteland, not a lawless chaos, but a thriving society governed entirely by voluntary agreements, private contracts, and cooperation free from coercion.

The Journey of a Skeptic

Gabriel Dan begins his journey as a skeptic. When he hears about a small nation called Utopyc that has completely abolished public institutions, he sets out to investigate it for a report. Coming from a world that closely resembles our own—a dystopia marked by bureaucracy, institutional violence, and constant government intervention—he assumes such a society must be chaotic and unsustainable.

But what he finds is shocking. In Utopyc, there are no public institutions, no political parties, no taxes, and no “authorities.” And yet, everything works.

A Society Built on Freedom

As Dan explores the different areas of utopycan life, he begins to understand how each part of society functions without state control. Healthcare, education, security, defense, infrastructure, immigration, even journalism—all operate through private initiative and voluntary coordination. No monopolies, no coercion, no political class imposing its version of the “common good.”

Instead of chaos, Dan finds vibrant, spontaneous order—a society where people take full responsibility for their lives rather than handing it over to the State. Perhaps most surprising: there’s no violence. Conflicts are resolved peacefully, through mutual agreements, reputation systems, and competition of solutions.

In Utopyc, libertarian ideals come to life. The novel doesn’t just theorize—it shows what this world would look like. As Dan walks through the Museum of Poverty (now obsolete), the Museum of Freedom, and the Museum of Beauty, he witnesses the birth of a new kind of Humanism—one built from the ground up, without social engineering or centralized planning.

A Literary Antidote to Socialist Mythology

For over a century, socialism has dominated our collective imagination through books, movies, and art. Despite its catastrophic real-world legacy, its myths still prevail. From 1984 to The Hunger Games to the “benevolent” welfare state, collectivist solutions have been presented as the only path to utopia.

Utopyc flips that narrative. It belongs to the tradition of Rothbard, Rand, and Hayek, who all understood that freedom and responsibility are the true foundations of a flourishing life—and that these ideas must be championed not just in essays and debates, but also in cultural storytelling. This novel answers that call: it offers a vision of liberty that feels possible, personal, and deeply human.

If Atlas Shrugged or The Fountainhead left a mark on you, Utopyc is your next read. But unlike those stories, it’s not about one hero against the collective. Instead, it paints the day-to-day life of a free society—a society that works not in spite of the absence of government, but because of it.

The Power of Seeing Liberty

What makes Utopyc so impactful isn’t just its radical message—it’s the realism of its world. This isn’t a far-off sci-fi dream. It’s a near-future possibility. The book’s greatest strength is that it allows readers to see what libertarians have long described in theory: that life without the State isn’t just desirable—it’s doable. That abolishing the public sector can be the first step toward true civilization.

That’s why Utopyc isn’t just a novel. It’s an invitation. A journey. A passport to the land of the free.

Because only when we see how a truly libertarian world could work, can we fully appreciate the courage—and the beauty—of fighting for freedom.

If you’re ready to take that step, Utopyc awaits.

    Mark is enough

    Did you even read those books? They are precisely opposite of what you describe

      Indeed, Mark. That’s where I’m going to end. Since Thomas Moore, all utopias have been socialist. They’re all false and the same, for they’re actually dystopians. As Rothbard wanted, we must create the only possible realistic utopia: the libertarian one. Only freedom can guarantee a better world. We need this narrative for that. I hope you like that possible world, much better than the current one, Mark. Thank you.
