Likely to keep an audience?

The point with those kinds of settings is introducing hope and perhaps some idealistic qualities in a world that'd normally be hopeless without them. That keeps believable conflict going because unlike, say, a straight cynical Crapsack World, there's some realistic hope that the protagonists may actually be able to change some of the world around them.
