I'm the first guy you replied to
The "Americans" would be convinced through propaganda that their culture is the most refined partly because all other cultures are wrecks. I said previously that the propaganda in the culture's literature glorifies the status-quo and demonizes ideologies based around self-sufficiency and controversy. If you couldn't tell I'm extremely against shit like people whining that if you hurt muh feelings you should be arrested or shunned, and the book I'm writing will show what the first-world would be like if people with this ideology got their way. I don't intend on making everything bad and scary, that's why I wanted to write it as if it were a history book. I want to make my points clear about the negatives without ignoring what "positives" may be derived from this kind of culture.
Nobody in the book wishes they were anywhere else but home, and home is where they are "free" to live their lives without having their feelings hurt or doing work you don't want to do, unless you're one of the people that the propaganda says is bad;
There will be a sort of underworld of the people that are seen as bad by the good people. The government does not touch them, they don't have to, because the good people do that for them. The good people refuse to offer work to the bad people. The bad people can only get jobs that are very strenuous and monotonous. The bad people are the ones that try to counter, or "slander," the arguments or philosophies of the government or the good people, among other things.

I'm still trying hard as hell to think of names for the book and for the country the book is set in. I want the country name to sound american while still being original-sounding, similar to "columbia," and I want for the book's title to reflect the good people's vanity and complacency without being blatant about it, can /lit/ help out? pls
