There is apparent order, harmony, and peace there. Much nature, much green, much consonance, at a first glance. Like in Ira Levin's This Perfect Day book.
However, there is a strict police force in the city. An amusing thing for somewhere so harmonic, wouldn't you think?
Then, while talking to one of these denizens, they reacted VIOLENTLY against the mention of the word "God", as if they really didn't like that word or what it meant. There, they praised this "Father" instead and insisted that only such word ought to be mentioned.
Mentions of the word "God" were abhorred by them. Isn't that interesting?
Interesting.. The city name is Pyongyang?
Oh, it is not a city from this spacetime dimension. As a matter of fact, it resembles the Maze Runner's Glade, though it had more technology than portrayed in the first movie. Though its denizens were mostly light-skinned, there wasn't any mentions to eastern traditions and names there.
It sounds like Pyongyang, in characteristic.
The city is very clean, which definitely put London, Paris, Rome, LA, NY into shame.
So orderly and very green, no beggar or homeless people anywhere.
People are very 'positive', they trust and adore their 'great leader', no mass protest or storming government building could ever happened. (Petty) crime is very low, (common) thieves and robber are hard to be found.
No traffic jam the street are wide yet cars are rare to find.
Healthcare and education is free, no need for health insurance or being trapped in many years of debt after graduation.
And definitely there is a 'very strict' authority operating within the city, keeping watch of what every citizen do, say and think.
Nobody can travel outside of the country, nobody has access to internet, nobody has access to twitter, instagram or facebook, nobody has access to anything that deemed 'foreign'. As they see anything that is 'foreign' is bad for the society. And when you're there, as a foreigner, then definitely there are many 'hidden' eyes that keep watch on you.
