"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward,every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there - on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.

Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.

It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known."

- Carl Sagan, 1994

Как у человека который только что получил дополнительное гражданство, у меня сразу же несколько вопросов:

1. Где получить паспорт?

2. Мои права и обязанности как гражданина?

3. В свете последних событий в России, когда мне положена пенсия, и положена ли вообще, если да то когда и какой ее размер?

4. Могу ли я поступить на службу во флот по защите земли от астероидов?

5. Из 4-го зарплата, и есть ли вакансии?

6. Что я могу, и хочу сделать для государства Асгардия?

Saludos a todos aquellos que me lean... esta pagina ya debería tener traducción total para los que solo hablamos español..... aparte esto es una idea trascendental, es un paso muy importante,aunque ya veremos como va surgiendo todo.... tambien creo que la bandera es algo muy simple pero bueno, espero ir poco a poco incluyendome en esta comunidad...

Prince of   asgardia

About Me:

My name is Alvin Caseria (known as Ace Caserya). I am a BS Computer Science graduate major in System Information & Technology / ERP Development. I like chess, politics, puzzles, poetry, mathematics, logical thinking & concepts, Space, IT (particular AI, Robotics, System Development). I am a member of a IT Geek, Papua New Guinea ICT & Other Programming Group/Community. Sadly, I acquired Parkingsons since 2012 and is now at stage 3.


My Work / Accomplishments:

I started in college as a Lab Assistant and a Contractual Programmer. From there I became an Assistant Insurance Processor, Data Encoder III, Information Systems Analyst II, Company Head Programmer, Branch Manager. Also work as a Computer Sale & Service Manager, Internet Helpdesk Support Manager, Professional Service Helpdesk Support Manager & Website Designer, Officemart Manager, QA Unit Head, IT Manager, IT Executive Manager, Chief Information Officer. All my life, I work for Corporations using my IT Knowledge and Management Skills.

My biggest achievement apart from my career is the concept development of an ideal ERP Concept that can be used by any corporation. The Concept is that company has the same Cores which can be used over and over even if the business change. These core are divided into controls (parts) which can be classified as System User Controls, Accounting/Admin/Inventory , Sales & Services Transaction, and System Module Control.

System User Control  (SUC):
1.) PGC Person/Group/Company as Suppliers/Customer/Staffs/Owner
2.) Communications (Chat, Telephone, Email, Browser, Fax)

Accounting/Admin/Inventory (AAI):
1.) Accounting (Account Payable, Accounts Receivable, ChartOfAccounts/Tax/Payroll/etc.)
2.) Admin (Backup/Restore/Audit/Storage)
3.) Inventory (Products/Services)

Sales & Service Transaction (SST):
1.) Sales Transaction
2.) Service Transaction

System Module Control (Varies depending on Nature of Business)
1.) Banking/Financing
2.) Trading
3.) Food/Catering
4.) Entertainment
5.) Insurance
6.) Automotive
7.) Construction
8.) Real Estate
9.) Transport
10.) Hotel/Restaurant Mngmt
11.) Legal
12.) Etc. (and many more)

Connection: SUC is connected to both AAI and SSI, while both AAI and SSI are connected to the Modules in SMC
SUC  >  AAI/SSI  >  SMC

By these concept of development I do not need to keep developing SUC, AAI and SSI every-time I develop an ERP for a company. If there are new controls needed by a company, I just append and option or new feature that was requested and disable the other features they do not need.


My Suggestions for Asgardia: (As a Nation)
**DRAFT**

I am new to the concept of Asgardia. And sadly my first impression of it is not that well organized. The first things that came into mind is (as I review the site).

1.) There's too much discussion about Government system, Country, Voting, Law.
2.) Not much ideas and development for space ventures
3.) Messaging focus much on voting.
4.) How about money? WIIFM (What's In It For Me?)
5.) Searching information is terrible.
6.) Site is not always online.

So it get me thinking... "What if it was me in charge?", "How would I do it?"

I always gasp and comes back to the concepts of game development and ERP Development when I am challenged by these questions. This is because it is easier to express myself even to a child how do I want Asgardia to work for me as a country in space.

So I started by opening an Excel Sheet. Named the first sheet as citizen and added columns same as that in Asgardia Profile. Obviously they got this correct. On to the next sheet then... it got me thinking, "What's the objective of any game? To win? What tool do I use? Hey it's always about money right?". So I started researching about currency for Argadia. One site suggested it is "Tatatan". Cool name. Then I thought to myself... How will the monetary system work? These is my draft so far.

A.) Total Monetary Amount (TMA) is EQUALS to Earth Budget/Money (EM) PLUS Space Budget/Money (SM)
B.) Earth Money is EQUALS to Government Money (GM) PLUS Citizen Money (CM)
C.) Space Money is the SUM of Space Projects (SP[0001],SP[0001], ..., SP[n], PLUS the budget of the entity that creates this projects (let's name it Space Council)

so far so good... Since it is easier to explain Project concepts let me start with Space Projects


Space Budget / Money (C.)
Space Projects like any other projects has and  will always have a finite amount of budget. When it's done it can only be extended if there are additional budget or the project is self sustaining.

Examples of Space Projects:
1.) Exploration/Mapping
2.) Habitation
a.) Moon Site 1
b.) Mars Site 1
c.) Babylon Craft 1 (Orbiting a planet)
3.) Defense
4.) Power Mining (Solar Project that aims to capture power of Sun by farming its rays for future spacecraft use.)
5.) Resource Mining (Hunting and Mining asteroids for elements needed for manufacturing)
6.) Robotics Development (develop robot that can do 4. or 5. or both or that also transports to 2a, 2b or 2c then loops back on its original location/primary command.
...

As for Space Council (New Space Project), budget will be yearly approved for its operation. It's functions are: CWMT
1.) Creation of Space Project
2.) Work allocation to a citizen for the project
3.) Monitoring, Scheduling & Coordination of Project task
4.) Travel
a.) Out Earth
b.) To Earth
c.) At Space

Earth Budget / Money (B)
Government money (GM) are used and funded for/by:
1.) By Law creation (Operates only when a law is needed)
2.) System Design Planning (we need to be inventors)
3.) Space Project Budget and Approval (Where space project money comes. Once approved, money is given to the appropriate Space Council that's in charge of the project)

Resources Owned by Government or Citizen
4.) Sales Resource Distribution (Ordering of product, sales & distribution)
5.) Service (Ordering of service and distribution, By Law implementation falls here.)
6.) Manufacturing & Storage (as name implies)

Citizen can have money as:
1.) NGO Group (by donation distributed in conditions)
2.) Corporation (distributed by percentage)
3.) Alliance (distributed equally)
4.) Family (inheritance)
5.) Individual
