Listen. Reflect. Plan. Act. Those are the four words my mother taught me to live by. She always said that "A good talker is a great liar". Claiming that I am the best candidate is not provable but I'll let you gut feeling decide. Whosoever gets to be part of Asgardia's leadership, let's all thrive for honesty, transparency, prosperity, and equality for all Asgardians.

We will be one step forward to be true state after June 18 with Declaration of Unity and Constitution in place.

This status will enable us to have a much more stronger hand for achieving our prior objective, to obtain UN recognition.

Unfortunately it is not enough to a have constitution to be recognized as a sovereign nation at UN level. We need to have fiscal policies and working economic system.

May be it is assumable that, manufacturing, launching and tracking of our satellite  ( another prior objective ) will be funded by Mr. Ashurbeyli and his business ( why need a nation for that, must be a question to be considered ) and the initialization of the state can be funded tru the revenues generated by the satellite operations.

Still there will be, may be not billions at the first phase but millions of dollars ( for calculative purposes used ) needed to maintain the state, pay contributions to UN, etc.

As a nation and state, are we still expecting this to be provided by Father Igor ( as this goes beyond to be president ) in the future.

As we will have no land, there will be no prospect of know tools of land based economic means of generating revenues are applicable.

There may be solution, which has already been reviewed at Ministry of Finance forum back in December by Lloyd Cox. It is called service based economy,  please try to review and evaluate. Of course we can still seek and investigate many different means of generating revenues. This, we must concentrate in a very near future.

Once June 18 is over and we have moved to a new phase of Asgardia citizenship, this topic of our contribution ( obligation ) as a citizen will be, I presume will be in the agenda.
