Eutopia. The planet “O” is a conservative sustainable farming society based on long established small communities and a complex marriage called a “sedoretu” in which a minimum of four people (two men and two women) marry with both heterosexual and homosexual relations. Two (one man and one woman) come from each of the two groups or moieties, the Morning People and the Evening People, into which the planets population is divided. Sexual relations take place between moities but not within them.
