The Principality of New Utopia is a meanwhile discontinued and abandonedvision of the artificial creation of a new city-state in the middle of the Caribbean.

The venture had the vision to be The Venice of the Caribbean and to base on the principles of freedom and liberty with an ultra business friendly climate.

Such technology has been tested and successfully and commercially implemented in various parts of the world, such as the Palm Island and World Island in Dubai, as well as in other jurisdictions. <\/p>\n
