The Principality of New Utopia[1] is a micronation project established by Lazarus Long Now the project is headed by Elizabeth Henderson And Siber Henderson

The project was founded in 1995 when Lazarus Long the founder of new utopia came up across an unclaimed plot in the Caribbean he then filled a claim with United nations then new utopia was Born

Long raised up to $100 million from investors from all over the world with a majority coming from the united states then The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (US SEC) termed New Utopia a "fraudulent nationwide Internet scheme",[1] and complained that Long had made "material misrepresentations and omissions concerning, among other things, the status of construction of the project, the companies associated with the project, the safety of the investment, and the status of the Commission's investigation into his activities."[2] The SEC's case against Long (SEC v. Lazarus Long) ruled for long. Lazarus Long died in April 2012 at age 88 having raised up to $500 million for the new Utopian project [3]

New Utopia's project was restarted in early 2017 by Lazarus Longs daughter Elizabeth Henderson who promises to have the Project completed by 2021 https://www.weylandgroup.co.uk/%5B4%5D

The social model and trade system would have been hyper-capitalistic, modeled after the writings of Ayn Rand, Napoleon Hill, Robert Heinlein, Dale Carnegie and Adam Smith.[5] Long also promised that the tiny nation would have a clinic better than the Mayo Clinic, a casino modelled after the Monte Carlo Casino, and "the ultimate luxury spa".[5] Residents would live in one of the 642 apartments and condos that would be built.[6] It would have been a tax haven, with all services paid by a 20% tax on imported consumable goods.[6]

Before creating New Utopia, Howard Turney had been introduced to the Human Growth Hormone (HGH) by an anti-aging doctor. He was so impressed with the results that he became an advocate of the hormone and he created in February 1993 a longevity spa called El Dorado Clinic in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. In 1995 he changed his name after Lazarus Long, a recurrent character in Heinlein's novels who goes through several rejuvenation treatments in order to live hundreds of years and eventually become immortal. Also around 1995 he stopped injecting HGH in the El Dorado clinic because of the corruption of local officers, and he moved to the US. A few years later he had to stop injecting HGH also in the US when doctors stopped prescribing due to illegal doping in sport. Then he tried to fund New Utopia, a place where the government couldn't tell him what he could do and what he couldn't. But in 1999 the SEC closed his bond offering because the bonds were unregistered with them.[7] He dedicated the rest of his life to the creation of New Utopia.

Lazarus Long, who was 66 years old in 1998,[8] died on 26 April 2012 at the age of 80. After that the project was taken over by Elizabeth Henderson the daughter of Lazarus Long
