Answer:

Utopolis

a. Social states chosen by the government of Utopolis are:

Social State  Unemployed  Workers  Retirees

A                              12             50              10

D                               1              40                1

The reason for choosing these social states is that the social states of A and D reduce the headache felt by the government in managing unemployment and paying pensions to retirees, unlike the social states of B and C, which have equal numbers of the distinct subpopulations.

b. The enacted social state will be D.  This is the social state preferred by the majority of citizens.  There is a utopian economic condition achieved with social state D unlike with other social states.
