New Utopia planned from Tulsa 
New Utopia Crest 
by David Arnett  
New Utopia will rise from the sea in April as the newest and smallest country on the planet.  This, the first new nation in hundreds of years, is being planned from Tulsa, Oklahoma. 

HRH Lazarus Long, applied for membership to the United Nations in a letter June 8, 1997 and says the constitutional monarchy has existed since September 1996.  "New Utopia is a new country in the Caribbean," says Long.  "It is comprised of three submerged islands on which will be constructed large platforms, forming a base on which we will build the newest, most beautiful city-state in the world.   

"Our new country is not within 100 miles of any other nation's boundaries, therefore we beg the United Nations for their support and protection, while we are in the crucial development and construction phase," Long wrote in his letter to the UN. 

The islands lie between 13 feet to 37 feet underwater, necessitating large 90,000 square foot platforms on which structures will be built.  Long says he foresees waterways similar to those in Venice, with gondolas and water taxis providing transportation.  The three island range in size from two square miles to the largest, which is 25 miles long and seven miles wide.  The shallow stable geological substructure allows for a total of 285 square miles of available surface area, once the pilings are securely anchored in the seabed and platforms are in place. 

Prince Lazarus PictLong, a self described entrepreneur, says he has been working on the New Utopian dream for more than 10 years.  He foresees the country being an insurance and financial center.  Long said, "New Utopia is designed to out Cayman the Cayman Islands with no taxes of any kind, the citizens will be able to live anywhere in the world, tax free so long as their assets and income are located or titled in New Utopia." 

Prince Long told Tulsa Today he has lived in Tulsa for the last two years.  He moved here because other Tulsans were interested in New Utopia and the city served as a good base of operations.  Long is a native of Arizona. 

New Utopian plans also include a medical facility designed to promote and advance biotechnological break through therapies in the fields of anti-aging and longevity medicine.  Said Long, "Visualize New Utopia as a place where all beneficial medical treatments, both mainstream and alternative, may be practiced on demand, without any government intervention.  Citizens and visitors to New Utopia shall not be denied their freedom of choice in health matters."
