On the way to Nowherestan

On the way to Nowherestan…Michael Elefteriades, a Lebanese
entrepreneur, who has lived through the strife of Lebanon’s recent wars
and skirmishes, decided their had to be a better way. So he created
"Nowherestan," where boundaries cease to exist and individual
identities are blended. He maintains that the world’s problems stems
from the predominance of identities–racial, religious, ethnic, and
political–and thus in Nowherestan, people will share a common
identity. The poet, composer and painter has attracted more than 50,000
"citizens of Nowherestan" to his website. He has produced a record
album bearing the name of his utopia and conducted workshops throughout
Europe and the Middle East. There is even a "national orchestra of
Nowherestan." Elefteriades has a vision that people around the world
would share in the wealth, technology and benefits from other regions.
He is meeting with world leaders to promote his concept of a borderless
blended identity world. Says Elefteriades, "People everywhere are fed
up with the way the world is today. But change is possible.The march to
Nowherestan, like Gandhi’s movement, is going to be peaceful."
