Nutopia
Nutopia is a conceptual country created by John Lennon and Yoko Ono on April Fool's Day 1973. This country (or nation) was supposed to live up to the standards set by John Lennon's song "Imagine".
In the official declaration of Nutopia, it is stated that it
- "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. Citizenship of the country can be obtained by declaration of your awareness of Nutopia."
The flag of Nutopia has only one colour: white.
The seal of Nutopia is a picture of the marine animal called a seal.
The "Nutopian International Anthem" was included on John Lennon's album Mind Games, and consisted of a few seconds of silence.
A plaque engraved with the words "NUTOPIAN EMBASSY" was duly installed at their home at the Dakota. It is believed that the whole affair was a jibe at Lennon's ongoing immigration troubles, as he and Ono (who already had a Resident Alien "green card", which Lennon had been denied, through her previous husband) tried to move permanently to America.
In 2006 a Nutopia website was created to promote the documentary "The U.S. Vs. John Lennon"
