Utopia
From the whsmith online encyclopaedia: Literally the Greek for 'no place'
Any ideal state in literature, named after philosopher Thomas More's ideal commonwealth in his book Utopia 1516.

(You can still buy the book, incidentally)
Further to Thomas More's original vision of Utopia, both Utopian and its opposite 'Dystopian' works are themselves a literary genre, the latter producing novels such as Orwell's 1984, Aldous Huxley's 'Brave New World' and Margaret Atwood's 'The Handmaiden's Tale' (to name quite mainstream examples), all terrifying versions of a supposedly utopian future gone wrong.
England (without the English, obviously)
A literal translation:- Utopia:No place
I wonder if they ever found it?
