The perfect plane of existence...
A holographic universe - everything that is,was or will be exists. If you don't like what you see, you just look somewhere else :D

It's simple... one that has no need of police or courts.

You mean Anarchy (in the political sense). I'm a big fan of that too.

No governments, no nations, no boarders, clothing optional. Complete map of the nervous system within humans, and, with nanotechnology, connect everyone via one huge intardnet. The sharing of thoughts and ideas would be immediate. In the Gaian sense, we would build earth's nervous system. Heh, yeahhhhh...
Sorry, I dont think goatse would be rampant :D
"The starships of the future, in other words the vehicles of the future, which will explore the high frontier of the unknown will be syntactical. The engineers of the future will be poets. This is what virtual reality holds out to us - the possibility of walking in to the constructs of the internal imagination. In a way culture is that. I mean our cities, bridges, highways, airliners and art galleries are condensations out of the imagination, but at tremendous cost because we must make them out of matter. Once we can make them out of internal light, out of electrons, then we won't build skyscrapers a hundred and twenty stories high, we'll build them as high as we want. Roof height will no longer be a factor ruled by cost effectiveness and internal gravity, it will be a parameter ruled by the imagination as will all other parameters and then we will discover what man truly is - when we are able to erect, stabilize. share and explore our internal dreams in a kind of virtual internal hyperspace that, carefully analyzed, is seen to be linguistic. That's what its connectors are made out of, that's what its ferro-concrete and steel is, is the edifice of internal language. This is what the stuff of the imagination is made of and I think this is what we're moving toward. "

What about the allocation of the planet's resources?

Utopia.. dang that word is hard to typr drunk.
umm my great place i will use a drema scenario:
i go back in time to 1938 as a 22 year old, with all the knowledge i have now. it is a conservative world, and i make large sums of money in the stock market, during the war a train pilots (because i have been learning myself to fly for 4 years, and am now a "crack stick") after the war i watch the baby boom, with my ample Marylin Monroe type wife, all the time working for retirment, teaching my children the real morals that are important, and the real meaning of using knowledge to make a living and earning your life through brains not brawn. soon comes the hippies, and i laugh while inwardly enjoying their revelry knowing full well my life is more stable and in a better quality than theirs. hopefully at the same time showing them how life "can" be, and possibly changing the face of the future by instilling a thought of self preservation in them instead of self gratification.
funny but more "progressive" parents in the 60's thinking about the future changes instead of "Forcing" their old ways on the youth might have maken a better USA.
to give an example as a teenager in the 80's i never had a curfue. all my friends with babyboomer parents did. most of them turned out more F'ed up than me, many resorting to drugs and the whole "blame my parents on everything" generation. i was taught to be an adult in the 70's and in the 80's and 90's it helped me be a morally upstanding citizen. laugh as you may, i have my "deviant" self moments, but i never disrespect my elders, always hold a door for a lady, and always respect authority, be it police, supervisors, whatever.
sadly i feel in the minority in society at large, so my utopia i would change the world to a more respectful, and self sustaining scociety.

You must not have alot of experiance dealing with the joys of PMS.
And if you do. Think about that many many many times over
and just think of all the "Honeydo" lists you would get.

being the only noodle within 12,000 miles (farthest you can be from someone whatever the number is) i doubt you'd have time for "honey do" except "do me"

Planet? I would hope that by the time nanotechnology becomes a common household 'item', other technological advances would have already come to be. Space exploration, alternative and exotic sources of energy, and the harvesting of raw materials from other planets or asteroid belts. Maybe this utopia doesnt even take place on Earth. Maybe it's some arcology on the moon, or mars, or orbiting Saturn.
Oh yeah, and organized religion is considered taboo in my futuristic utopia. For anyone angry with that last statement, I suggest reading a little Arthur C. Clark before replying :)
