Vocabulary pg.29

autonomous: self-governing; independent; subject to its own laws only.

'However, the best arrangement I know is one I came across while traveling through Persia, in a district generally known as Tallstoria. The Tallstorians form quie a large and well organized community, which is completly autonomous, except for having to pay taxes to the King of Persia.

I choose this passage because it shows that people always want to be individuals and it is very hard to think as a community for the community which Utopia does.
