What does your Utopia look like?

I dream of the day when there's a world government. I think that would be best for civilization. And it would make a lot of sense too, what with the recent(on a civilisational scale) advances in communications and transportation. I think it would help the economy, science, culture, arts. I think it would bring people of different backgrounds together and provide clearly positive alternatives to group thinking and discriminatory tendencies.

I also think that government should better figure out how to provide for its own people, or, at least, how to give them the chance to provide for themselves. I think technology will get us there eventually.

I believe in certain universal benefits, such as healthcare and whatnot. I also believe in an improved justice system for each and every part of the world with a greater focus on rehabilitation than on retribution(which there shouldn't be any of, in fact) where criminals are concerned.

I'll maybe add more later. What are yours?
My utopia would be one where people accept and respect difference,  In particular, diversity (culture, religion, non-religion etc.) would be preserved and encouraged: peaceful co-existence cannot be obtained by forcing people to think a certain way.  In addition, people would be free to pursue their own dreams, passions, and goals (provided that they respect other peoples' right to do the same and that they cause no harm) and would not be burdened by  titles, salaries, and social constructs (star trek comes to mind here). Most importantly, people could be themselves and dispose of the socially constructed masks which inhibit meaningful connection and trust.
