As we   start our new country, we reflect on what we are about to achieve, and what we need to achieve it.

Many different economic models exist, and all of them have been tried and used throughout the ages,  with different levels of success, from completely free market economies where  supply and demand is the only guiding factor, to interventionist forms where   government plays an active role in guiding the economy to achieve the social  equality and welfare agendas it promotes.

Economic growth is   measured in terms of total output or real Gross Domestic Product ( Total  value of all final goods and Services produced within a period of time). Another measure is called the Production Possibility Curve (PPC) or otherwise referred to as Production Possibilities Frontier(PPF) A Production Possibility Frontier outward shift ( an increase), is possible by the discovery or utilization of new resources (think asteroid mining) or a change of technology, both feasible and achievable goals of Asgardia. In Economics there are four factors affecting production – Land, Labor, Capital and Entrepreneurship. In various combination, these four factors determines the ownership of production  of goods and services and thus effects the type of economic system used. Socialism and Communism allows goods and services to be owned by all by means of the state and are valued for it’s usefulness to people, while Capitalism allows individuals to own the products and services while profit is the only guiding criteria. As a space nation,  Asgardia cannot subscribe to any of the fore mentioned  models if it want's to remain focused on it's task at hand instead of being led astray by profit interests or selfish human interests, but will have to look at state or  government directed economy where there are strong regulatory oversight and interventionist policies in a privately owned means of production. This leads us to look at an economy that is lead by private enterprise,  profit seeking entities where production and services developed for profit are guided by the state or government for maximum benefit to the social development and welfare of the people and also to achieve a shared national goal The Asgardian economy must be an economy where government exerted strong directive influences through economic planning to guide the market economy with state control of critical infrastructure such as Transportation, Energy and Telecommunication and incentives for private entities to engage in certain projects that furthers the national Asgardian goal, the goal of a peaceful and conflict free space that serves all humanity. Next tiem we look at what Products and Services Asgardia needs to produce.

Humanity has looked at the stars for a long time and dreamed about what is out there. In outer space there exists many planets but most cannot be inhabited by humans. There is one that is in our reach and that is Mars. If the nations of Earth could collaborate on a project to colonize Mars we could attain our dream of colonizing another planet. This is only possible if we can create a project with the major nations of Earth. As A representative of Asgardia this would be one of my missions to complete.

That was an amazing congress, high level science and connections and I feel so lucky that I had the chance to be part of it. I was also so happy to meet in person with Asgardian officials and friends. My oral presentation summarizes our team's research on microbial behavior after exposure to ionizing radiations. I definitely encourage all junior and senior scientists of Asgardia not to miss the following Asgardia Space science congress as it will be held regularly, it's a fantastic professional opportunity and will also inspire you and affect you on the personal level.

Asgardia's first orbit around the sun is complete. One year ago, Dr. Ashurbeyli announced a vision. Our actual anniversary is the 12th of October, but community events are seen to occur during the entire week of celebration, particularly during the weekends. Here are some thoughts to help citizens celebrate this time of reflection and planning.

FOUNDING DAY is a community holiday in Asgardia: the Space Nation to celebrate the anniversary of the announcement given by Dr. Igor Ashurbeyli on October 12, 2016 to create a nation of people with a goal to ensure the peaceful use of space, to protect the Earth from space hazards, and to create a demilitarized and free scientific base of knowledge in space. Asgardia also has a long-term objective of setting up habitable platforms in space and building settlements on the Moon. Founding Day is not an official national holiday unless it is ratified by the Parliament of Asgardia.

Theme: The credo of Asgardia: the Space Nation is “One Humanity, One Unity.”

What to Think about:

1. Discuss ideas related to unity and humanity.
2. Imagine how the world can benefit when people cooperate and share.
3. Consider peaceful uses of space and how cooperative scientific advances can help to protect this planet from space hazards such as asteroids, man-made debris, and solar eruption events.
4. Research and discuss free sources of reliable and up-to-date resources to learn more about science, outer space (astronomy, cosmology, aeronautics), and technology.

How to Celebrate:

1. Meet with other Asgardians online and in-person to share ideas about what it means to share Dr. Ashurbeyli’s vision for the future.
2. Participate in active discussions on the official social media platforms.
   1. Forums: https://asgardia.space/en/forum
   2. Asgardia General (Facebook Group) https://goo.gl/nTq51V
   3. Asgardia Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/asgardia.space/
      1. Look at the pinned post for links to pages for National Community Centers and  many other
   4. Twitter https://twitter.com/AsgardiaSpace
3. Meet with friends and share the idea of Asgardia: the Space Nation. Encourage them to visit Asgardia’s social media platforms and look at recent posts & tweets.
4. Show support for One Humanity, One Unity by encouraging people to work together. Consider volunteering to help a neighbor, to work in your community. Do something to make your part of the world better for your town.

What do you think of this outline? Should Civic.Asgardia prepare more community holidays to help bring our citizens together?

Hello, again fellow Asgardians. We’re back with another Parliament update - But before we get into it, we wanted to let you know that it’s possible for you to directly contact Parliament. Our primary job is to represent the will of the people through the development and application of legislation for Asgardia - so your opinions really matter to us and we always love to hear from you. If you’d like to get in touch with Parliament, then you can do so by sending an email to crd.parliament@asgardia.space we will ensure that we review all our emails and respond to them as necessary - on the other hand, if you have general questions about Asgardia or how to use the website or any technical issues, please email citizens@asgardia.space. Not that’s out of the way, let’s get into the update. Parliament has been towards the upcoming Autumn sitting that will take place in Estonia. Much of the preparations have been completed and people from Parliament have been getting their tickets and applying for the necessary visas - it’s a very large logistical undertaking and the events coordinators are working very hard to keep it all as streamlined. The conference centre and accommodations have also been prepared and we’re all looking forward to some long productive days ahead. Most of the Parliamentary committees have been focussed on polishing up economic legislations and ensuring that we have 30 signatures to progress them through the process. This is due to the fact that the Sitting will focus mainly on the development of Asgardia’s economy and economic systems. We’re really looking at ways to help build up some funds for the nation, but also to provide some important services for Residents. In October there will be an informal session that will allow us to have important discussions on the legislation before the Sitting in Tallinn. At this session, we will be able to start the process and have some indicative votes. These votes are a way for us to test the legislation and see how likely it is to pass in the official voting sessions - it’s a very useful way for us to make final edits and have final debates before we bring the legislation ‘to the floor’. We are working on the establishment of a ‘Culture’ contest that will run during the sitting in November. It will be an art contest - Participants will pay a small fee to enter the contest and complete their submissions. Parliament will then vote on the submissions and will pick a winner. Full details of the contest will be announced by the culture committee soon and we’ll also be ready to answer any questions that you may have. That concludes our Monday update for today. If you’d like to help support the development of the Nation, please consider becoming a paid resident - if we all work together, we’ll be able to turn Asgardia from a dream into a reality and reach the stars as one humanity.

Como o físico Richard Feynman afirmou “éimpossível encontrar uma resposta a um problema que não seja, mais cedo ou maistarde, descoberto estar errada”.

É por essa razão que eu não dou respostas aproblemas, eu me permito discutir problemas ou situações emergentes, porémnunca com a ideia preconcebida que a minha resposta seja melhor que as outras.

Sigo-me por princípios que vibram na minhafrequência:

2. Usar a liberdade de que usufruo para     crescer e criar com responsabilidade para com todos os demais.

3. Ter uma postura de humildade que vem do     saber que ninguém tem acesso a verdades eternas e inquestionáveis.

4. Respeitar a dignidade Humana e de todos os     seres vivos, assim como respeitar o planeta que nos deu a vida.

5. Ousar e usar a ingenuidade tão usual nas     crianças, pois que dessa ingenuidade é que os mais altos sonhos se     alevantam.

6. Não desistir da obrigação moral da     perseguição da felicidade tanto a um nível      pessoal como ao nível de toda a Humanidade.

Baseado nestesprincípios acima irei lutar, junto com todos os demais parlamentares (se foreleito), para que Asgardia seja, realmente, um novo paradigma que permita umasociedade nova. Uma sociedade que mostre que os Humanos podem evoluir acima dasquestiúnculas que nos prendem aos primórdios da nossa história. Que os Humanospodem e têm o direito de VOAR.

English version:

As the physicist Richard Feynman put it, "it isimpossible to find an answer to a problem that is not, sooner or later,discovered to be wrong."
It is for thisreason that I do not give answers to problems, I allow myself to discussproblems or emergent situations, but never with the preconceived idea that myanswer is better than the others.
I follow principlesthat vibrate in my frequency:

1. Use the freedomthat I enjoy to grow and create responsibly with everyone else.

2. Have a posture ofhumility that comes from knowing that no one has access to eternal andunquestionable truths.

3. Respect Humandignity and all living beings, as well as respect the planet that gave us life.

4. Dare and use the naïvetéso common in children, for with this naiveté is that the highest dreams arise.

5. Do not give upthe moral obligation of the pursuit of happiness on a personal level as well asthe level of all Humanity.

Based on theseprinciples I will fight along with all other parliamentarians (if elected), sothat Asgardia really becomes a new paradigm that allows a new society. A society that showsthat Humans can evolve above the spats that bind us to the beginnings of ourhistory. That Humans can anddo have the right to FLY.

To all who feel thatmy frequency is also yours see my platform in the following link:
