Utopia: an imagined place or state in which everything is perfect.
The word utopia is made up of the Greek words:  


eu (good) + topos (place)


For the word dystopia, instead of eu, we use the Greek word dys:


dys (bad) + topos (place)


So, dystopia is: an imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad.
