                     Citizenship & Nationality
 
 

Ever since a 1967 Supreme Court ruling, Americans have been legally allowed to hold dual nationality. When you, as a person of "Good Character", make a contribution of US$10,000 or more to the New Utopian government you, your spouse, and your children will be invited to become Charter Citizens. This has recently changed as this contribution had been set at $1,500 for the last few years.
But now that construction financing is so close, and the citizenship quota is almost full at over 3,200 Charter citizens, the PNU Government decided that this had to come to an end just prior to construction start. The current minimum contribution is now aimed at investors for New Utopia who would commit to a *minimum amount of time and money in terms of property acquisition or business transfer to new Utopia within a year of being granted citizenship.
Once construction has begun the requirements for being invited to become a Charter Citizen are expected to be somewhat more stringent.
To begin a new country is costly. Many of our founding citizens are familiar with the principles of the late Robert Heinlein, and readily understand the concept of TANSTAAFL. ("There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch.")

Such is our determination to make our dream country a reality that we've put our sweat, soul, and our own wealth and assets into it.

However, there are many practical aspects of infrastructure - initial startup expenses to be met, to lay the groundwork - before our new homeland can progress to the construction phase.

If you have already accepted an invitation to become a Charter Citizen you may apply for Passports and Citizenship Certificates, bearing the Royal Seal, signed by His Highness Prince Lazarus of New Utopia, and identifying the holder as a Charter Citizen, due the respect, consideration, and courtesy of the nation and all other citizens therein.


To begin the process of applying for citizenship you first need to become a charter citizen. To do this simply send an email to the Consulate Office of your
jurisdiction stating your intentions and clarifying your status - This means that you need to state whether you want to set-up business in the PNU, looking to retire, invest in property or are seeking employment and in which field.  You will need to show your full name, address, contact numbers and D.O.B. in this initial e-mail so that the relevant reference checks can be made.
 

Once the above is processed you will be able to complete the Nominee application form and return it to us after which you may be invited for interview at the consulate office of  your jurisdiction.  May we suggest that you also download a copy of the New Utopia Constitution for close study before submitting your application.
