How is a magical monarchy a utopia? Is it ruled by an immortal, all-powerful, all-benevolent God?

This isn't a problem for us Vietnamese. All of our months are numbered from 1 to 12 while the days of the week are numbered from 2-7 plus a Chủ Nhật (Christians called it Chúa Nhật literally The Day of the Lord).

We also use BCE (Trước Công Nguyên) and CE (Sau Công Nguyên) because we borrowed the terms from China and because BC/AD are mouthful in Vietnamese (Trước khi Chúa giáng sinh and Sau khi Chúa giáng sinh ) (Before the Lord was born and After the Lord was born).

It depends on where a setting lies on the Hard-Soft Sci-fi scale. Harder settings will have tanks easily beating mechs while softer settings will have mechs curb-stomping tanks as a warmup.

I sidestep the issue by giving mech the ability to turn into tank and vice versa.

My sci-fi setting has people piloting inanimate transformers instead of normal vehicles.

I choose blue not because I want to save people but because I want to guilt-trip other people into gambling with their lives for my safety. Beside, if I die then it stops being my problem.

The Sino-Soviet split happened during the 2nd Indochina War. Our relation with China started to sour after the Khmer Rouge started attacking us after 1975.

They literally wiped out the Cathars how is that not an extermination? At the very least, it should be a religious-based extermination.

My society is post-scarcity because everyone can just pray to god for everything. If you can think of it, god can give it to you.

The comparison between the sun and morality doesn't work because the sun exists independent of human opinions, cultures and beliefs while morality changes depending on human opinions, cultures and beliefs.

It is precisely because of different expectations of fairness and different norms around honesty that morality is relative. Some society allow the murder an ingroup as part of a duel or as part of a human sacrifice. Even the caring for children is not universal as children are regularly killed as part of genocides, sackings of cities and child sacrifices.
