Overview

The Deseret Region is an organization to promote and develop a completely self suffcient region within the United States. This region is called the Deseret Region. Our goal is to revolutionize areas of infrastructure(i.e. transportation, argiculture, energy, etc.) so that the the Deseret Region can provide our own needs. The Deseret Region gets its name and boundaries from the State of Deseret which was proposed back in the 1850's.

Additional Information

The Deseret Region is developing and organizing many projects to increase the self sufficiency of the region. Our projects involve infrastructure, economy, and even agriculture. Some of our projects include localizing power and food production. Another project is the Deseret Currency Association. This project promotes the use of a local alternative currency within the region. We offer free listing in our business directory for businesses in the Deseret Region. As the Deseret Region projects gain momentum we will be able to improve the quality of life for everyone in the Deseret Region.
