Looking to Estonia, the Most Digitally Advanced Nation

**********

Asgardia, The Digital Nation

As a nation, Asgardia is virtual, digital, and internet based. We will not really have any physical locations or offices for our citizens to go to wait in line to talk to someone or to apply for a service or to get problems rectified.  Because our  websites and apps will be the way our citizens shall primarily interact with the each other, the government, and the various related Asgardian services and entities, our digital infrastructure needs to be a, if not THE, primary concern.

Our website and mobile app infrastructure needs to be clean, easy to use, and as modern as possible not only as a reflection of our Nation, but so that this technology can facilitate and focus on getting Asgardian things done. Our websites and apps should make things easier and not more difficult.

We NEED a comprehensive website redesign and overhaul with powerful long term planning guiding it. A haphazard, organic, or piece-by-disconnected-piece process will not get us there and it will create an incredible amount of additional work in the long run. By not planning for success today we are planning for failure tomorrow.

Why Recreate the Wheel?

Because of this, we should be looking to those who have used technology to completely digitize their national infrastructure including the use of blockchain technology. Estonia has potentially the world’s most technologically advanced governmental infrastructure. Their governmental process is completely digital. Their residents interact with their government primarily through their websites and an app(s) which is also also how we as a nation will be.

Estonia has:

• * has completely digitized their government
• * is issuing E-Residency to people world wide
• * is establishing a cryptocurrency (estcoin) which will work with their e-Residency program as well as utilizing blockchain technology with their national infrastructure.
• 
  
• We should not try to recreate this amazingly complex wheel when it has already been done.  These are all goals that Asgardia basically has, so we should be looking to those who are already successful in such endeavors or are currently pursuing such ends. The government of Estonia is at the top for digital governments around the world and we need to learn from them so we do not waste time, money, and precious volunteer time.

• How can we start this?

  1. We can initiate talks with the the Estonian government for their advice.
  2. Talk with the company that created their webpages, apps, and blockchain tech.
  3. Talk with Estonian citizens that are Asgardia citizens to get screenshots, translations, and to see how well it works.

Our everyday perception of the universe comes from looking up at the sky to see the Sun in the daytime and, more particularly, to see thousands of stars in the night sky. Surely some of the oldest questions since the beginnings of human thought are: How large is the universe? Did it ever begin? What are the principal constituents of the present universe? Will the time ever end?

Did time begin at a Big Bang? Will the present expansion of the universe last for a finite or infinite time? These questions sound philosophical but are becoming, now in the twenty-first century, central to the scientific study of cosmology. The answers, which should become clarified in the next decade or two, could have profound implications for how we see our own role in the universe.

کتابی به زبان ساده و مناسب برای همه علاقمندان کیهان‌شناسی که بدون دانش تخصصی،  با طرح مباحثی چون بررسی آرایش و ساختار محتوای انرژی جهان تصویری قابل درک از مفهوم زمان و پیشرفت‌های اخیر کیهان‌شناسی  را در ذهن خواننده ایجاد می‌کند.
بررسی انفجار بزرگ و روند انبساط کنونی جهان هستی، مسئله‌ی همواربودن جهان و ترکیب انرژی کیهانی، شناخت ماده و انرژی تاریک و معرفی آینده‌های احتمالی جهان از مباحث مهم این کتاب هستند.

پاسخ به دو سوالی که عنوان کتاب هم می‌باشد در قالب چند احتمال مطرح می‌شود و این کتاب می‌کوشد تا محتمل‌ترین پاسخ را به روند شکل‌گیری جهان کنونی بیابد.

Hello all!

There have been some interesting conversations about ideas for the future justice system of Asgardia. Once we do become a full nation it's something that will need to be considered, so please put your thoughts and ideas below.

Remember to keep the discussion civil and respectful of other Asgardians.

Kind regards,

Rebekah Berg, Lead Community Administrator, Asgardia

Thank you fellow Asgardian for reading my platform and being a part of our unique movement to becoming a peaceful and space based nation. This movement will require an initial government led by radically courageous individuals, and I believe my life so far has prepared me to successfully take on the responsibilities of the FIRST Minister of Science. Growing up, I've always looked at life through the lens of science and determined that the main objective of human beings should be the development of technology necessary to defend our homeworld (and other planets) from planet-killing asteroids. Another asteroid WILL inevitably impact Earth at some yet-to-be determined time, and when that day does come, it will destroy everything we have ever dreamed and worked for. Before an effort of that magnitude can be realized though, a certain level of world peace and habitability must be restored. We, as citizens of Asgardia, believe ultimately in peace and the preservation of our habitat, so we must be the torchbearers of the guiding light that is science to assist our fellow humans achieve these goals soon. We then may all continue to move on to a far more meaningful way. Your vote means a lot to me, and I will gladly respond to your questions and comments about my platform or on how I will carry out my duties as your Minister of Science to the best of my ability. Please read my platform on my profile page and consider me for your vote. It literally means the world to me.

وقتی به تاریخ گذشته ملت ها نگاه کنیم، به طور واضح مشاهده میشه که در تمام موارد، کارهای بزرگ در ابتدا مورد تمسخر ، کمی بعدتر مورد تهاجم و در آخر مورد ستایش قرار گرفته اند!

بگذارید امروز کار بزرگی که در جریان است را جشن بگیریم و خوشحال باشیم شخصی چون آقای ایگور آشوربیلی آغاز کننده طرح بزرگی شد که سرآغاز تمدن جدید در آن سوی آسمان خواهد بود.

من از تمام دوستان و بزرگ اندیشان می خواهم که این اتفاق بزرگ را در همه جا نشر دهیم، تا روز به روز به شمار آسگاردیایی ها اضافه شود، تا این تمدن هر چه زودتر و در زمان حیات ما شکل بگیرد و همه ی ما به آرزوی خود یعنی دنیای نوین و صلح جو نزدیک شویم.
