Hi there!

As the Unified Voting Day approaches I wonder if we shouldn't hear from Dr. Ashurbeyli or someone else indicated by him about the Constitution he proposed and generally about the voting system we adopted.

Many questions have been raised about several topics, including the monarchy system, taxes, etc. I suppose we are getting a revised version before the voting day but in the end, we are going to make a yes/no choice and even the implications are not clear.

Discussing among ourselves is great, but some insight from the one who proposes the constitution would be of great value. Why a monarchy? Why are we voting yes/no to a full constitution instead of choosing a government system first and building from there? How does an aerospace fleet protect the earth? Why are the candidates to the position of Head of Nation not chosen democratically? Why is 40 to 65 the appropriate age range for the parliament? etc, etc.. you want us to support some strange choices and you don't care to tell us why we should.

According to the voting regulations: "Those who vote in support of the Declaration of Unity of Asgardia and the Constitution of Asgardia will pass on the third level of certification and receive the right for an Asgardia ID card. In the case of disagreement with the Declaration of Unity of Asgardia and the Constitution of Asgardia, the individual will remain on the second level of verification." while the Declaration of Unity states that citizens must accept but the declaration and the constitution. Why are those strings attached? I suppose that those Asgardians who vote "no" will be later given a chance to accept the Constitution if it is approved but why isn't it stated there and why aren't the procedures in case it is not approved explained in the same place?

Best,

Roberto

Before we launch into our weekly update, on behalf of all members of Parliament, we wanted to wish Dr. Igor Ashurbeyli a happy birthday. A true visionary, without whom there would be no Asgardia and it would be a big step back for humanity’s journey into space. We wish our Head of Nation a long and happy life in the hopes that he can see his dreams realised. This week we have exciting news about how we do things differently in Asgardia, how to start using our very own currency, Solars, and the preparations for our next physical session in Tallinn (Estonia) in November. Our readers may remember that one of the approved items during our last Parliament session was the change of names for the months on the Asgardian calendar. 54 votes in favour, 45 against and 8 abstentions approved the new version of the calendar. This has been the most divided voting result so far in Asgardia, with a noticeably small difference between the yes and no votes. Chair of Parliament, Lembit Opik informed MPs last week that our Head of Nation, Dr. Igor Ashurbeily, has decided not to issue the correspondent decree and encourage a deeper dialogue, instead, so more MPs can agree on either side of the issue at a later time. This is a very significant sign of how things are done in Asgardian politics, where unity is more than just a word. Also this week, the first transactions with Solars, the internal cryptocurrency in Asgardia, have occurred. A a story written by MP Ugur Aydin was bought by another MP, Kudret Sembil. A second transaction occurred when Ugur sold a figurine to MP Helena A. If you want to test your solars (all Asgardian residents have 100 Solars in their wallets) the way to do it is as follows: - Go to our webpage, Asgardia.space - Search the name of the Asgardian resident you want to buy from (or donate to) - Make sure you see the “new profile view” - Below the picture, name and status you will see the button to add him or her as a friend, and just below, a button for sending solars. - Click on it and you would be able to choose the amount and write a comment if you wish to do so. It could be a good way to start moving items or services within Asgardians. Of course, we are just starting and we can’t “earn” solars (other than receiving donations or payments from other Asgardians) or exchange them by other currencies yet. However, by exploring this option we will start moving in the right direction. Our goal is to create a sustainable, vibrant and just economy independent from fiat money. Finally, in preparation for our physical session in November, our focus is on starting our economy and creating a frame for doing business in Asgardia. The Trade and Commerce Committee has finalized all the processes with their priority legislation with the six Acts that were developed within the committee: - The Asgardia Companies Act - The Asgardia Intellectual Properties Act - The Asgardia Consumer Act - The Asgardia Business Act - The Asgardia Business Grants Act - The Asgardia Tax Act These acts have now been sent to the Parliament Chair and Coordinator for recommendations and approvals. Editing of the Acts will continue as they transition from one department to the next. The business proposal database registry has had another name change as suggested by the Minister, it has changed from Business Activity Development Database to Business Development Activity Registry or BDAR for short. We are very excited about the registry and it is now considered the official registry for Trade and Commerce business proposals and activities. 25 Asgardians already registered within the registry and continue to develop the program as well as assist all those registered with their business pursuits. These are exciting times as we put valuable processes in place that will aid in the future economy of Asgardia. Our motto for the BDAR system is “Developing Business Today for Tomorrow's Future” We should be rolling out our entire BDAR program by the end of this year. Asgardia is living exciting times of growth and development, getting every day a bit closer to our goal. One Humanity, One Unity.

Hellow Asgardian,

मै नासिक से हूं। "स्पेस किंगडम ऑफ अॅझगार्डिया" का कन्सेप्ट हाल हि में पता चला। यह कन्सेप्ट Dr.Igor Ashurbeyli द्वारा 12 Octomber,2016 मे तयार की गया हैं। जब की मैने बहुत भाईयों के कंमेंट पढे, और पता चला इस कन्सेप्ट के बारे मे बहुत सी गलतफैमी फैली हुइ है। उदाहरण के तौर पर; हम एक देश बनाकर स्पेस मे रहने जा रहे हैं, क्या यह वेबसाईट नकली हैं? इत्यादी। सबसे पहले मैं इस कन्सेप्ट के बारे मे बताना चाहूंगा।

कोई भी देश को अगर कोई स्पेस मिशन करना होता हैं, तब उस देश को गव्हर्नमेंट की अनुमती लेनी पडती हैं। यह काम उच्च तौर पर होता हैं। आम आदमी को कूछ पता नही होता। इस परेशानी को हल करणे के लिये Dr. Ashurbeyli ने यह कन्सेप्ट की खोज की। जैसे फेसबुक होता हैं जो हमारे मित्रपरिवार को जोडे हुये रखता हैं, वैसे ही यह वेबसाईट उन्होने डिझाईन की हैं और उसको "Space Kingdome of Asgardia"का नाम दिया हैं। जब की यह नाम उत्तरी दंतकथाओं पर आधारित हैं। उनके भगवान नौ रियासतो पर नजर रखते हैं, उनमे से एक "असगार्ड" हैं, और वहा के देवता को ओडेन कहा गया हैं जिसका असगार्ड पर राज हैं।(इस दन्तकथा पर आधारित हॉलिवूड फिल्म "थोर"को बनाया गया हैं।) इस दन्तकथा मे पृथ्वी को भी "मिडगार्ड"कहा गया हैं। यह हुआ इस नाम के पीछे का छोटासा इतिहास।

Dr. Ashurbeyli ने घोषित किया है की, इस वेबसाईट पर रजिस्ट्रेशन करने वाले लोगों का यह एक देश होगा। जिसका नाम "Space Kingdome of Asgardia"होगा। जो की युनायटेड नेशन से अनुमानीत किया जाएगा। इस देश के नाम से अंतरिक्ष मे सँटेलाइट छोडे जाएंगे। जो की इस देश के नागरिको के ज्ञान को बढावा देंगे। इस देश के लोगो द्वारा डाली हुई तसविरे भी अंतरिक्ष मे भेजी जाएंगी। हम सूनते हैं की अमरिका, रशिया, जापान ने अंतरिक्ष मे अमुक अमुक यान या सँटेलाइट छोडे। भविष्य मे हमारे यह देश के नाम से भी सँटेलाइट छोडे जाएंगे। जब की यह देश सिर्फ  वेबसाईट और  सँटेलाइट के आधार पर है।।धन्यवाद।

Bon salut tout le monde, Asgardia a maintenant une constitution, le projet avance rapidement et nous allons avoir des élections d'ici 2 à 3 mois. Sur ceux je pense que la France, ou plus précisément les francophones doivent se faire un nom et être représentés, même si nous ne sommes pas énormément. Pour cela plusieurs idées en têtes. Je propose tout d'abord d'y aller doucement et de créer un espèce de journal, en français, pour montrer que nous existons et pour faciliter la compréhension de nos compatriotes a propos d'Asgardia. Pour cela je recherche donc des web-désigner (ou qui s'y connaissent un minimum sur le sujet) ainsi que des gens qui savent écrire et relayer l'information. Il est évident que cela ne sera pas rémunéré, ou très peu au début du moins. Merci de vos réponses et bonnes journées a vous ;)
