Unfortunately I'm not very familiar with dystopian fiction of other cultures. I grabbed a book at random 2084. La fin du monde and it perfectly fits the grim principles.
"Officially, the like-minded citizens live happy lives in their unquestioning faith. Religion controls individuals in their most private lives. Thought is reduced by the establishment of a single language, abilang, limiting the length of words."
Just like the 1984 it is based on it's not really science fiction but a complaint about the present. So many prefer the comfort of unquestioning faith and this of course bothers both the protagonist and the author.
Then I looked for a German one and found ""Die Welt wird brennen" (The world will burn) by Lena Kiefer":
"Ophelia, a courageous and tech-savvy fighter, joins the resistance and is chosen to infiltrate the royal secret service. Her mission: if she can pass the grueling competition and become one of the Regent's bodyguards, she will be in a position to assa ssinate him and bring technology back to England."
Ah technology has been banned by an autocrat. Will Ophelia successfully assassinate the Regent so we can all (potentially miserably) live in a world dominated by tech or will she be distracted by Lucien, the Regent's brother, with whom she has fallen in love?
I'm sure there is future fiction out there that avoids dystopia as the wish fulfillment for your "one segment of the population" but I think finding it will require real digging.
