1. Adopnation is a virtual nation with its own constitution, passports and flag.
2. Adopnation is the first nation where Overseas Korean Adoptees truly can be a majority and belong, regardless of cultural background.
3. Adopnation exists in our collective minds, on the internet and on a spiritual level.
4. Adopnation can be entered wherever you are, just by closing your eyes, concentrating on the adoptee community.
5. Adopnation allows dual citizenships, and everyone regardless of age can vote.
6. Adopnation is an anarchy with a constitution of ethics.
7. Adopnation passports are issued through an application at the website (still to come)
8. Adopnation is a multilingual and multireligious nation.
9. Adopnation issues tourist visas for non-adoptees for a period of up to 30 days.
The purple colour is a mix of blue and red, the two colours of the Korean flag.
In the beginning, Adopnation will be run be the initiators, but over time we hope the nation will be taken over by its citizens.
To enter Adopnation, one can either participate in collective sessions of focus or meditation, or by oneself.
A tourist office is being set up in cyberspace, to handle foreign affairs, communication and trade.
