Definitions: 

1.  any visionary system of political or social perfection.

2.   often capitalized : a place of ideal perfection especially in laws, government, and social conditions

Both of the definitions could be used, but i think that the second one is used more often, because it is more direct, and gets more to the point, in the first one you have kind of big words, and its just a little bit harder to understand.

    When this is best to be used:

    The word utopia is appropriate to use in situations when you are around highly educated people. The word has a historical sound to it. Utopia is not the sort of word you would want to use when you are just hanging out with friends, it is too formal for this.

      Rating:

      We rate the word utopia four out of five stars. It is a intellegent word to use, but utopia is a imaginary place, so there are not many times that it is appropriate to use.  The word utopia is hard to use when your having a regular conversation because it there is not many places to relate a to be as ideal or as perfect as an Utopian society.
