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 the song “Imagine”. It was announced on the Mind Games album, John and Yoko wrote of Nutopia on the inner sleeve of the album.
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.
John and Yoko also requested that Nutopia be admitted to the United Nations.
