Nutopia is an imaginary country created by John Lennon & Yoko Ono in 1973. Nutopia is a conceptual nation that exists only in your mind, without borders, founded on Love and open to everyone. The national flag is a white flag of Surrender. It is an art piece dedicated to promoting the ideas of Peace and Love that were made famous by the song 'Imagine'.
John & Yoko announce the Declaration of Nutopia at the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, 42 W44th St, New York, 2 April 1973.
Yoko: In 1973 in New York City, John and I invited the press to announce the founding of a conceptual country called Nutopia. Anybody could be a citizen of this country. 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.
John: It’s a conceptual country. It has no land, there’s nothing to fight for, there’s no boundaries, there’s no lines to be drawn, no passports, only people. We’ve got a flag, but there are no laws. All the people of Nutopia are ambassadors. And citizenship is available by declaring your awareness of Nutopia. Once you say it, that’s it. The flag means surrender and submission and also you can blow your nose on it. (laughs)
Yoko: We wished that one day we would take the flag to the United Nations and place it alongside the other flags, as Nutopia was just another concept, such as France, the United States and the Soviet Union. It was not a concept founded to threaten any other. John had said that we were all ambassadors of Nutopia. And so we are. When you come to our apartment, you’ll see that there is a gold plaque on the kitchen door that says 'Nutopian Embassy'. John put it there. Strangely enough, now friends just like to come in from that door, and not the front door. It seems the plaque made the kitchen door our front door.
John: Nutopia was Yoko’s trip. I agree with her, so I wanted to do it as another John and Yoko event. We mean it. It’s not naive or anything like that. It’ll happen when it happens. If you say it enough, it’ll happen. If you don’t say it, it won’t. We do it on impulse or instinct, you know. We try and use our instincts, especially for these kind of things which we call 'Mind Games'. First of all, we put the thought out. And then we’ll follow it through to see... We’ll react to whatever the reaction is.

So that people understand. He did this when a week after he was given deportation orders by the US government for protesting the Vietnam War. The idea was to create a fictional country and then claim diplomatic immunity. It was a satirical protest that looks weird out of context. You can Google it and get a better explanation than I can manage.
You did good 👍🏻
I heard of this. Lennon's last attempt to be British-style clever. Most people ignored Nutopia and Lennon soon dropped it.
I dig it.
👉💜👈
I want to be a citizen of this peaceful country/state etc...
I'm now a citizen.
I am an official citizen . No war only peace .
我是Nutopia的第5656位公民！

Orgogliosamente cittadino di Nutopia❤
A message to all citizens of Nutopia: GROW UP!
Wages of sin is death, prior to that, derangement.
If one stays mad, eventually, one goes mad.
✌️♥️
That may be the most Yoko moment ever captured on video (of Yoko, being Yoko).
Website down??
", Civilizations progress, but humanity stays the same.' - -H.P. Blavatsky, but I think she would understand where John is trying to say
Sorry, last line should be WHAT John is trying to say
I am interested in becoming a nutopian citizen but the website link doesn't seem to be working
El gobierno de Estados Unidos de entonces sabe lo que sucedió con su vida ...
Chingon
it's april 2nd here in asia, but i think i know what this is.. and if i'm right, ya'll really are nuts.
🏳️☮️
Im a new citizen
FREE THE PEEPLE NOW
Drink Fruitopia
😅You're thinking of Jonestown
nutopia
Sounds like a libertarian. Not a bad thing.
the link is broken
Facebook blocks this link. That's (anti)social media for you.
Jao Lenu falava muita merda 😂😂😂
John and Oko took a little too much acid...
Lennon was deranged by this time.
Yoko Ono, good drugs, in the greatest band (at that time). Hell yeah he was off his rocker.
lol
Surrender? Submition? You're nuts
we love you both, have a beautiful day
Wht
No more possessions, except for my Bentley and Penthouse. Hypocrite, but a great musician. Fair?
Ao invés de ironizar o Brasil e Poder Judiciário citando Bolsonaro. Deveria estar fazendo algo pela geração de seu pai que não era exemplo tão bom assim ...
Become a citizen of WHAT!?
Not going to lie, this feel like a SCAM... Who's even managing this channel?
He had a family, strong possibility is that, that yoko ono (his wife) might be managing this channel and this is a proffesional official channel just like the channel of micheal jackson and Elvis Presley
The fuck?
Sorry, but I disagree. I'm a Beatles fan, and a John Lennon fan BUT THERE'S NO WAY I SURRENDER OR SUBMIT TO ANYTHING! I'M NOBODY'S SLAVE! I'LL FIGHT FOR WHAT I BELIEVE IN AND WHAT'S RIGHTFULLY MINE! I'D RATHER DIE ON MY FEET THAN LIVE ON MY KNEES! SUBMISSION, AND SURRENDER? STEELY DAN WERE RIGHT! ONLY A FOOL WOULD SAY THAT!🖕
It's only a bit of fun. It's completely tongue-in-cheek. Don't take things too seriously. John and Yoko never did.
I wish John's humour was more widely available, I know a lot is, but to me I love it equally to the music. Live, laugh and listen ❣️🎵✨️☮️💫 stay blessed ☯️
@LC-xz2vd yes. I agree. I love his humour and it shows up in "I am the walrus"
Calm down and stop shouting dude.
Surrender to peace.
Bullshit
😮
Another sad stunt.
There were and ARE sooooooooooo many better places to live than the United States!
Believe me when I tell you!
😊
Commie nonsense.
He was given deportation orders by the US government for protesting the Vietnam War. So he did this to mock them by saying he was actually a diplomat of an imaginary nation of peace. He was mocking America's high ideals but hypocrisy in reality.
Wave your freak flag high brother
lame,, John must have been HIGH
Link in email isn't working, though
This clown is not Lennon! This is a double! The same double who was murderer in 80'. The OG lennon was replaced!
