Two eutopias are presented. One is a fictionalized account of New Zealand (Zelania in the text; Zealandia in the Table of Contents) as a eutopia, which comprises the bulk of the book. Mr. Oseba is an inhabitant of the center of the earth, a highly advanced technological eutopia. The theory of John Cleves Symmes (1780-1829) that the earth is hollow and can be entered at the poles is used to characterize the center of the earth. The eutopia in the center of the earth is called Cavitorus, with one nation called Shadowas. The main city is Eurania. Terribly written.
