Abstract: This article proposes the Virtual Global State (VGS) as an applicable model for a realistic utopia. Representing a virtual entity parallel to the real world, the VGS is an ambitious and long-term global initiative, and it is hoped that it will be the first step on the right and long road to a better future for human life on Earth. It is the appropriate and impartial body for thinking, discussing and preparing for the future of the world. It uses virtual space as a tool for solving real-world problems and improving its conditions using systematic methods with implementation phases and timelines. Liberating its virtual citizens fr om their national, ethnic, ideological and political differences, the VGS gives them an equal opportunity to obtain its global citizenship. Everyone in the real world, including people without real citizenship, has the right to belong to it and to have their own global ID card with an ID number. The article compares the VGS with the most prominent images of the ‘Virtuous City’ (utopia) and highlights the exclusive features of the VGS and its strategic objectives.
