In 1973, John Lennon and Yoko Ono founded an imaginary country, Nutopia. Launched to great fanfare at a press conference held at the New York City Bar Association in Midtown Manhattan, it was a reaction to Lennon’s ongoing problems with the US immigration service, who were threatening to deport John back to the UK.
John said:
“Citizenship of the country can be obtained by declaration of your awareness of Nutopia,” he explains. “Nutopia has no land, no boundaries, no passports, only people. Nutopia has no laws other than cosmic. All people of Nutopia are ambassadors of the country. As two ambassadors of Nutopia, we ask for diplomatic immunity and recognition in the United Nations for our country and its people.”
“Anybody could be a citizen of this country,” says Yoko Ono today. “Citizens were automatically the country’s ambassadors. The country’s body was the airfield of our joint thoughts. Its constitution was our love, and its spirit our dreams. We produced a white handkerchief from our pockets and said, “This is a flag to Surrender to Peace.”Not ‘Fight for Peace’, but ‘Surrender to Peace’ was the important bit.”
Today anyone can become a citizen of Nutopia. Last month the country was launched as a website, citizenofnutopia.com Once the “application process” (registering with your email address) has been completed, citizens receive a digital ID card while an animated globe on the website shows the locations of other Nutopia residents, with each represented by a dot. Nutopians can click on a citizen’s dot to read messages from their fellow nationals, or choose to “spread love” by clicking the ♡ symbol next to a citizen’s name.
On the other hand, citizens can enjoy “meditation affirmations” from John & Yoko every hour. And it all comes together at the Luminate App, which fans can download to “experience Mind Games by John Lennon like never before with a series of radically new Meditation Mixes, paired with deeply immersive light sequences.”
