Metaltopia Model Of Education

The most ideal community is featured in an infamous town known as Metaltopia. Metaltopia started as an idea to bring the best traits from other worlds, and improve upon them to build an ideal community. A large mass of land of 1,000 acres was bought in the great northwest in the shape of a giant circle. Creator James Capurso had a vision of this place where humans could live amongst each other in harmony. This was no easy task as there were many setbacks during the construction process.
