The name Gardenia comes from the discovery of wild Gardenia flowers on this island. Upon arrival, there were thousands of wild shrubs in the Gardenian forest. This is why citizens humble Gardenia and feel a special connection with nature. The people of our island make sure to give back and care for Mother Nature as well, sort of like a symbiotic relationship.

The flag/seal of our Utopia is a white gardenia. This is because of the significance this flower holds to the island. The symbolism of the gardenia aligns with the core values of the island government and the people's morale: love and purity, which are key in sustaining our system.

The island's location is entirely enclosed and isolated from the rest of the world. This is for safety reasons and to ensure our utopia is safe from the assimilation and influence of the Mainland. To enter a world of peace, unity, and purity, citizens will be asked to leave all currency, or anything that may cause materialistic attachment behind. Five trained government officials know how to get on and off the island. One of them will come to retrieve newcomers.
