Malaysii is not close to Utopia, and will likely never achieve such a status.

IRL: I live in the US. I love it here, but no. Just no.

environmantally and infrasturcturally, cameroi is a concrete, i.e. well defined and implimentable "utopia". perhaps culturally and politically as well, though these are always in the eye of the beholder and the beholders extremely diverse.
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.

"economic freedom" is "the cake"

Eeenope. The people there are nice enough ( if a little Blood Knighty), but you still got giant wolves, bears, spiders, krakens and sea serpants off the coast, orcs in the mountains, oh and insane warrior/necromancer cultists hiding in the ashlands, who would love nothing more than to violently eviscerate you and reanimate your corpse to use as cannon fodder, dooming your soul to eternal, numbing torment.... but trust me they're minority .

Funny you should ask.

We are a meritocratic mafia state, so a dystopia is a better description.

Well it depends on you (the person(s))

If you are willing to obey all laws and convert to Andrewism, agree not to spread other religions, embrace socialism, and then agree to follow all laws, rules, polices and to see and worship Emperor Andrew as both your ruler and god, then yes it would be a Utopia, but if even disagree with one of these things, then you would not see it as a utopia.

Nope. It is a darker version of Australia that was first colonized by Russia, though Britain took full control after the Bolsheviks and Friends took over Russia, that was invaded by Japan and become a paranoid military state after the Imperial Japanese Army attempted to depopulate half of the Northern Territory's Russian citizens.
I am aiming for a country with shades of grey. Although it is darker than OTL, it is also not a Dystopia because moral greyness is more fun.
The military-based executive government that also controls many external territories is 'the Authority' and handles most foreign affairs. The actual nation is The Federal Union of Australia and New Moscow, commonly referred to as Australia. The legislature is the Australian and New Muscovite Congress, usually called simply Congress.

No nation can truly be an utopia.

TurtleShroom comes close in some aspects, but is dystopian in others.

UTOPIA:
For example, our devotion to God and the presence and abilities of the Church, alongside our morals and low low low divorce, sex out of wedlock, and other morality ratios, are utopian in the greatest sense. We are beautifully incorruptible, scoring negative numbers on the corruption scale. Our elections are free, fair, multi-party, open, and never defrauded. Our government is expected to be transparent, honest, and true, and while all politicians lie and cheat, we fight to nullify it as a whole. We have the right of recall and can remove anyone that does wrong. This, in a way, is a utopia. -and we have a truly free market where ANYONE can rise from the bottom of poverty to a multi-billionaire, where the government is out of your hair unless you cheat or kill, and where those who earned what they have without trying to steal it or cheat to get it, can keep it. Is lazziez-faire a utopia? We think it is! For these reasons, TutleShroom is a utopia. There are other reasons, like our abundant oil, our freedom of religion, our subsidization of Christianity, our active church campaigns to care for the orphans, widows, and poor, our absence of labor unions, our thriving farms, our manufacturing prowess, our mining brilliance, and our medical advancements in gerontology and psychosurgery are just a few we didn't list.

DYSTOPIA:
-but our poor wages, creaky infrastructure, jungle climate, desert zones, swamp humidity, technological backwater, unpaved roads, forty percent illiteracy ratios, AIDS problems (since we ostracize and condemn sexual immorality, we pressure those who contacted AIDS through a wound from telling the truth, resulting in them infecting hundreds more), scurvy, a climate incompatible with growing wheat and fruits, plutocracy, and agrarian, poorly developed, third world banana republic status begs to differ. Our birth defects, poor optical and oral health, absurd heights, and malnutrition never exist in a true utopia. For these reasons, TurtleShroom is not a utopia.

Well, since our nation is modeled after a fairytale land full of pastel ponies ruled over by a kind and wise Princess, you could say that it's a Utopia.

Of course, this is NationStates, and even fairytale lands full of pastel ponies have their dark sides.
