Rob's+Utopia

I. Origins
A. How will this Utopia come into being? Be very specific about deliberate creation versus accidental creation. I will go to a major city (such as L.A. or New York) and spread the word about a utopia for people who think a certin way. I will find people who think such a way. And they will go out and find people while also asking for donations.

B. What is the time line for the creation and development of this Utopia? If you began building tomorrow, where will your society be in 5 years? In 50 years? In 500 years? It will take somewhere around 5 or 10 years to entlabish small recognition from people. Then after 40 years we will have a small town. And after 200 years we should have a full community.

C. How do people find out about your Utopia? Do people accidentally stumble across it through exploration? Is a member of the society telling the story of the utopia? I plan to advertize my utopia. I will have advartizements for it on main stream media. And once people know about it they can come down to the testing station and take a test to see if you can come live here.
