I suppose everyone has their own idea of utopia.

I read a article this morning, that pretty much had me thinking about it all day. I will start with a dictionary view on the word "utopia" from the free dictionary.com.

(Placename) (sometimes not capital) any real or imaginary society, place, state, etc, considered to be perfect or ideal

(Literary & Literary Critical Terms) (sometimes not capital) any real or imaginary society, place, state, etc, considered to be perfect or ideal

My idea of utopia would be a world without politics, without wars, without rule by force, a world with cooperation, with zero inflation on fiat Ponzi debt paper funny money, no taxation, plus a load of other fanciful notions I doubt I will live to see.

Let me know in the comments section what your idea of utopia would be. Now we come to a billionaires view on utopia, welcome from stage centre, floating down on his imaginary moon dust, one Igor Ashurbeyli.

Asgardia (more like ass gardia)

This man plans to colonise the galaxy in arks, and already has 200,000 citizens for his imaginary kingdom, that he was sworn in as 'head of nation' yesterday in Vienna.
You may think I am kidding yes? nope, not a word of kidding going on here. This is what he plans for the 150 million citizens he wants, to be in his kingdom.

Utopia! (billionaire style)

Asgardians will all be expected to pay an annual 'citizenship fee' of 100 euros.
As well as income and business taxes. (whilst still living on earth???????)
He plans to apply for UN recognition!
And wants to join NATO with his new imaginary kingdom. (say that again please)
Permanent human settlements on the Moon within 25 years.

He has been busy doing things, you know, not like earthly things at all for this "utopia"

Asgardia already has a flag, a constitution and an anthem with a 'digital currency' to follow soon, the 'solar'.

Now when I first read this article and the headlines, it was stated his aims are to get away from world politics in this utopia, also to get away from geopolitics and wars. Now for that to work, I would suggest a system devoid of politicians for a start, not him though, oh no not a chance of that.

This mans vision of utopia so far is everyone pays to be a citizen every year, they also pay tax, and they already have to salute a silly made up flag, it gets worse though, trust me.

Ashurbeyli was officially sworn in by former British MP Lembit Opik (who?), who was made head of Asgardia's parliament by his fellow MPs on Sunday.
They in turn have been elected by their fellow Asgardians in online polls.

One of us is away with the pixies it seems & it is not me.

I read about this project almost 2 years ago, and thought it was a late Aprils fool joke, now almost 2 years on, he has 200,000 citizens, for his imaginary kingdom, that are going to have to pay tax down here on this thing we call earth, and also pay him tax, and a fee per annum of that 100 Euros. Why would anyone in the right mind sign up for that? He clearly states he wants the 2% brightest minds of the world population or 150 million people to be his citizens, I though would suggest he has 200,000 sheep, if anyone wants to pay double tax, just send the extra 100% to me, I will gladly make a flag design and call my kingdom Nasdrovia or cheers for English speakers, and I will toast you all whilst I drink your taxes.

So in summary this utopia already has a leader, politicians, requires a annual fee to remain a citizen, is joining NATO (?) and the UN, and wants 149,800,000 more (suckers) to join. Count me out.
