There are dozens of countries without UN recognition and many that are recognized by one or less member nations. Probably the most famous right now is ISIS. UN recognition is tremendously important for us, but what other countries think generally has very little effect on the ability of a government to function.

It is not the UN recognition within itself that is the proof of legitimacy, the measure being recognition by other nations and the UN is not a nation. However, it is made up of nations, and if enough of them agree that we are a nation then by extension most others should conceed to the matter. As previously mentioned, this is not an assurance with several nations not being recognised as nations by one or more nation but this doesn't seem to represent any severe hinderance, as long as most tend to agree.

Of course It is, my friend. Just check it online and I'll see/find some examples. Regards, Leonardo.

Hola amigos, Asgardia es una nacion espacial en desarrollo, como toda nacion toma algun tiempo mientras termina de dar su forma legal e interactuar con otras naciones de la tierra, sin embargo su objetivo principal es establecerse en el espacio, inicialmente alrededor de nuestro planeta , desarrollando la posibilidad de ser los primeros en poner seres humanos naciendo en el espacio. hay mucho sobre Asgardia en la web, tambien en you tube, lo mas importante es llevar adelante a la humanidad unida hacia el espacio, tomara tiempo y muchas inversiones pero no hay limites para el emprendimiento humano.

Dear Asgardian Brothers! Tomorrow 04-04, we remember the 50 years of the death of the "Man who had a dream". Martin Luther King Jr. is one of the perssonalities that had great influence in my formation. I do not need to tell you how much this man has been or should be important to all who fight for equality in the broadest sense. Let's take this date to reflect a bit on how hard we are actually doing to make Martin Luther King Jr's dream a reality. There are few people on the face of the earth who are worthy of good memories. This home is one of them. In a society where we used to construct statues for criminals and Genocides, and give names to Streets, Parks and Avenues, honoring Hypocrites without character, we Asgardians must express our respect for the ideals of this enlightened human being named Martin Luther King Jr. Lucio Costa https://asgardia.space/en/elections/candidates/Portuguese/25668/

Congratulations on the clean and honest campaign, worthy of an Asgardian. In the days leading up to the parliamentary elections in Asgardia, I met people highly qualified to hold a post in Parliament, but for some reason failed to achieve this goal. What I have to say to these extraordinary minds who have not been elected to Parliament is that we Asgardians all have a role to play in building our society. We do not need to be in Parliament or in Government. In Asgard we are all equal in importance. Only the workplace is different. These bright and dreamy minds will be able to assist parliamentarians and ministers by contributing their knowledge to the construction of Asgardia. We need people who are capable, above all, of well-intentioned support to parliament and government, and these people have already shown what they are capable of by taking up leading public office, and they will certainly be asked in a timely manner. This is admirable. Anyone who puts collective interest above private interest is worthy of my respect and admiration. We are all to be congratulated in this first stage of the construction of Asgardia. Campaigns clean, no personal offense, unlike any we're used to seeing on the news. The Asgardian citizens gave an example of civility and respect. I'm very happy for this. I am a Social Scientist, Specialist in Projects and Social Policies. I work in the Federal Public Administration, where I learned everything not to be done in the public service. I have mainly learned that: In our local society, IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO BE LEGALLY CORRECT, WE SHOULD BE RIGHTEOUS, and our justice is not always on the side of what is humanly just. I want to be Minister of Citizenship because I feel aligned with Asgardian thinking. I am not only referring to my academic background, because knowledge means nothing if I do not walk side by side with good intentions. These are things that complement each other. I consider myself a person prepared to take over the Ministry of Citizenship, because I allowed life to teach me. I have been a good observer of social relationships throughout my life and I know the mechanisms of interaction in these relationships (I want to thank the Parliamentary candidate, Geoffrey West, a brilliant mind in every way, who made me realize that). A qualified person is not made with a university degree. A person prepared for a position of government does not necessarily need a university degree. He needs knowledge allied to the love of his brothers. If I have the honor of being chosen, I know that I will have special people of character and knowledge necessary for the performance of my ministerial activities. I am not afraid of the future because I will have my brothers highly qualified to build our ideal. I would like the future legislators in Asgardia to remember that. As I have just said, when they begin their activities, the Law must be based on moral principles, not on the moral principles of our original societies, but on the moral principles that govern the good and fraternal human nature that we possess. Because we are different: WE ARE ASGARDIA! I want the Light to accompany our elected members of Parliament. Believe in your love intuitions, for they will never be wrong. Good work, everyone.

Dear Asgardians, I inform you that I am running for a second elective term. If you wish to renew your trust in me, you can support me by voting for me on this link: asgardia.space/elections/parliamentary-elections/candidates/328?-link-328 Best regards. Asgardia's Member of Parliament Deputy Chair of the Citizenship Committee General Secretary and Chief Coordinator of Italian Asgardians Nicola Macina

platform: Create an outreach program; we must be visible in our communities so that others can see that Asgardians are normal people. Find a venue where Houston Asgardians can meet and discuss ways to improve the organization and to inform the major of concerns that citizens are having. Provide childcare for single mothers, so that they can pursue their education and careers goals. Create a health insurance program for members that do not have insurance and lobby our local officials to improve and provide universal health care for Asgardians. Create a facility where Asgardian children can receive help on school assignments, have after school activities, and receive mentorship from adult Asgardians.

I have an online artist shop, i am planing to donate 10% of all my earning during this year to our space nation Asgardia and also donating 100% of my profit if the 10,000 items are sold [external Link Removed] let's contributed with a donation while we buy some stuff for ourselves uses

Thank you for this very special and important message. I reflect on your message and internally answer the questions you have proposed above. I want to "reside" in Asgardia and I am committed to my citizenship here because I care not so much about the small interests of every different group on Earth but with the total peace and wellbeing of Humankind in it's entirety. That does not exclude anyone for any reason. I believe when ALL have peace, progress can be made at much quicker speed with much better outcomes. Thank you for reading.

Lo que pienso es que lo que más nos motiva y nos ayuda a ir hacia adelante es el tener un objetivo en común, y sobre todo, encontrar personas con los mismos pensamientos que tu, ya que todavía hay muchos perjuicios, el encontrar alguien similar, te hace pensar que no estas solo. Por eso, pienso que nos tenemos que apoyar unos a los otros,. Esto nos ayudará a crear proyectos con una gran motivación, mirando hacia un futuro mejor.

Ahh Yes; The Mech part was just a bit of Humor to go with the introduction. HOWEVER I do follow the current progress on earth concerning mech's And that would be a great topic to have sometime. As EyeR elaborated; The field is a very active and ongoing pursuit of many researchers. I just hope we can manage to redirect our primal desire to conquer everyone else, and use the mechs to protect everyone else. Perhaps we find Cthulu hanging out in Low Orbit and decide the Old ones got to go.

I'd guess at a slightly higher number than 0. Just beacuse it isn't talked about doesn't mean it's not happening. It seems to be a popular subject. Mechs are not progressing particulary rapidly, things like the two meter tall Kuratas are a good start, but limited application. Megabot Mk II is a little bigger but a lot slower and much lower tech target acquisitioning and not even a HUD. I seem to recall some .jp buisinessman was funneling his firms profits into one - last I see it had a leg constructed up to about the knee, and asking for others to join in on the project. I'd peg it at about 11 meter when constructed. Various powered skeletons are at various stages - I've seen a model being developed for military application that uses a nuclear battery to let the operator lift two tonnes and jog at 25MPH with virtually no effort. When it comes to things like 80 meter tall mechs then actually building it becomes a nightmare. 0G manufacturing however can allow for easier movement of larger single peices and further allow assembly to the point where it can begin to support itself. To assume this is intended to walk about, then the weight of something that large, and the transference of these forces... it'll need big feet. Lots of suspension. Use around structures is likely to create as much damage as an earthquake - and thats before you stamp on things. Smaller mechs defintiely could be of tangible use - like the caterpillar P5000 in aliens - for manipulating multitonne loads easily. Something of similar specifications shouldn't be too difficult to build, either.

High Valor! Glad to see your here! I won't repeat what Zahira said, only to again say "welcome to Asgardia"! Leo

I like women. They are my favorite gender. Although I am glad I am not one, because they often get the short end of the stick and have so many complicated biological systems. Thus, the fact that they are just as able as men to perform tasks speaks highly of their general ability and specific skills. Go women!
