In terms of names, ironically, many futuristic names come from Greek and Latin roots. Here are a few I thought of, relating to dystopian themes.
Infictum? That comes from the Latin for corrupt.
Posteros? That comes from the Latin for Future.
Agriesque? Greek for field or country.
Callis? Greek for beautiful.
Catenaris? Latin for chain.
Solakrace? I mixed only and government.
A pretty cool one is Erythros, but only if your country has anything to do with the colour red.
Lysium, Greek for dissolving.
Sponsin, Latin for promise or reassure.
If your world is an island, or many islands, you can do Monesia, Donesia, Trenesia, Quanesia, etc.
Nominad, Greek for law.
Plutem, Greek for wealth.
Rancos, Latin for bitterness.
Victorum, Latin for conquer.
Voxer, Latin for voice.
Sperolis, Latin for hope.
I can give you more if you wish.
Happy writing, good luck with your book!
