We’re hot off the heels of the 4th Parliamentary sitting that took place in Tallinn, Estonia between 23-25 November and we wanted to give a little rundown of our time at this groundbreaking physical sitting. The Physical sitting was opened by the Chairman of Parliament, Lembit Opik (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z642ZH9KWGw) and this was followed by a presentation of eight laws that were under consideration or development. Members of Parliament were asked to consider if they should work on those laws over the next months. The laws in question are: Asgardia Business Act Asgardia Companies Act Asgardia Intellectual Properties Act Medical Insurance Act Information Safety and Security Law Domicile Act National Bank and National Currency Law National Bank Law Following the presentation of these laws for Parliamentary consideration, the Deputy Chairman of Parliament, Ben Dell presented a possible economic model that would be implemented by Asgardia. At the end of the day, the Members of Parliament congregated in the heart of Tallinn where we enjoyed some time socialising at a traditional restaurant. Sunday saw the Head of Nation, Dr. Igor Ashurbeyli open the 2nd Executive Congress. Parliament were shown several interesting presentations including an overview of the future of Law in Asgardia taking into account different law systems in the world and how to create an online environment for it. The presentation by Professor Jahku was particularly pertinent as it related to the militarization of space, something that Asgardia has been openly opposed to as we wish for the peaceful occupation of space. In the afternoon, Parliament continued with the presentation of the bill of rights. This version of the bill of rights was approved and details will be released about what that contains in due time. In addition to the bill of rights, the Civil Service Act was given its first reading and further work on the bill was approved for the coming months. Leon Shpilsky, the Minister of Finance presented the financial report for the first half of 2019 to the gathered Parliament - this was a key focus for us as we drive forward to develop systems and help to refine Asgardia’s economy. While we don’t have any information to share on that at the moment, it was very good to know where we stand at the moment. The Head of Nation has been investing heavily in Asgardia to ensure that we have the time needed to expand and develop our own economy and to become self-sufficient. And inline with the decrees made, the Head of Nation ceased his funding of Asgardia, but continued to pay investments in beyond that date to support the Nation - a plan was outlined out to investigate and develop a procedure to return investments that were made into Asgardia beyond this cut-off date. On Monday, the final day of the Physical Sitting, we had the results of the voting and attended a presentation about how the Estonian Government-run their ‘e-government’ and ‘e-citizenship’. Estonia is currently one of the world leaders in this area so it was very interesting to see how other nations are handling it. It is expected that we will be able to share the results of the items were voted on in the coming days. The final day closed with a highly productive session that was held together with the Government - it was a truly inspiriting meeting and a great opportunity to work together, share information and make sure that our goals are aligned. Finally, the session was officially closed and the members of Parliament said their farewells to return with renewed energy, high morale and a sense of urgency for the future development of our Space Nation. 2020 will bring a lot of new and exciting changes to Asgardia, so make sure that you keep an eye out for announcements and get ready to take the next step forward with us.

During a September Q&A session online , Lena De Winne, the CEO and Vice-President of NGO Asgardia, and the Deputy Head of Administration of Asgardia, addressed a number of questions posted by Asgardians online. She also discussed recent developments.

Constitution Accepted

“ As you all know, we have completed the cycle of voting, and a number of decrees by Dr. Ashurbeyli have been published,” she said. “The Constitution has been accepted by 72.5% of the votes. Congratulations to all of you and all of us for such a big success. We are Asgardian!”

Citizenship, IDs & Passports
De Winne explained that “those people who have voted in support of the Constitution have the preferential right to be considered Asgardian citizens. Will still need to do quite a bit of work in order to prepare ID cards and passports.”

“Those of you who have voted in support of the Constitution before the announcement by Dr. Ashurbeyli that the voting is closed are entitled to receive ID cards and passports as soon as we are ready to distribute them,” she said, adding that it will take a few months to prepare ID cards and passports.

Picking Up ID Cards in Person

De Winne assured viewers that a lot of thought will go into where ID cards will have to be picked up. She said that once in a lifetime, a person will have to present themselves, with documents proving their identity, in order to receive Asgardian documents.

“ There will be one embassy per continent and then there will be consulates, which will be spread out. Maybe there will be temporary locations. We will see how everybody does it for the citizens around the world and we will do our best to make it as convenient as possible.”

She added that for those who are unable to travel, “we will look at situations on a case by case basis.”

De Winne suggested that embassies will likely begin to be established sometime next year, as “ embassies fall under the responsibility of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is one of twelve ministries that is to be available in the government structure once it is established. It will be one of the first tasks of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”

What’s Next?

De Winne noted that now that the Constitution has been approved, it sets the ground law of the nation. “Now, according to the Constitution, there will be a Parliament formed. It will take six months to form the Parliament, and it’s the role of the Parliament to develop the laws. As is defined in the Constitution, a number of subjects will be specified once the laws are elaborated by the Parliament and passed and accepted.”

This may have been addressed, but what is the purpose of Asgardia's first satellite?

What will this satellite do? Why is it so important?

I think that a Space Station Core that doubles as a communication satellite would be useful. A core capable of housing one or two Asgardia pioneers. That's really just a fun thought.

What is the satellite for?

I love the new formatting bar!

Thank you Asgardia IT team!
