New Utopia - Online And Applying For UN Membership

The world's newest country, New Utopia, is a series of three submerged
islands in the Caribbean. The islands lie between 4- and 11-meters
underwater, necessitating large platforms on which structures will be
built. They will start in 1998 and are now applying for membership of the
United Nations and have also brought news of the new nation to the Web. It
won't be a new vacation destination though, the founder has his sights set
on it becoming an "insurance and financial center," and also a place where
new medicines and practices can be tested without the need for government
approval. World Wide Web:
