Quote:
And unlike "Brave New World" Icara is a society where monogomy is more then simply recommended but practically demanded and where drug abuse or anything that harms your body is seen as almost sinful. (Remember right from "Kindergarden" on up Icaran schools emphasize physical education and maintaining your body's health through exercise)

The values being enforced may be different, but what's important is the fact that they
are enforced. It would be well worth reading brave new world and 1984, and then trying to find similarities in the two distopias described. Despite their superficial differences, you will see that they are very much the same in prinicipal. Then think about your Icarans, and try to decide if you have created a Utopia, a Distopia or something in between.
