It Has Started

Hello to everyone reading this page and thank you for supporting me in my endeavor to become a member of the governing body of ASGARDIA.

This is a long journey but i believe together, we can truly make a difference in the world.

As new updates come out and as i gather more support from my fellow ASGARDIANS, i will issue more posts to inform people of my position and how close we are to completing this journey.

I will keep you posted.

Thank you again for your support.

Kind Regards,
Anthony

Il Primo satellite Asgardiano è in orbita già da un pò.

Certo, è poco più piccolo di una scatola da scarpe, praticamente un Hard Disk da mezzo terabyte sparato 400km sopra alle nostre teste.

Un po' pochino per più di 163mila abitanti, siamo la nazione più piccola del mondo con soli 0,043 metri quadrati, ma è da considerarsi solo come la Prima Pietra (sembra anche, per peso e forma, un mattone) di un futuro regno che si estenderà dalla Linea di Kármán fino alle stelle!

Questo è qualcosa di davvero magico!

Asgardia è fatta di tante belle parole, spero che non prenda la brutta abitudine terrestre di non mantenere le promesse!

MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs highlighted the importance of the resolution recently approved by the UN General Assembly on additional measures to prevent the arms race in outer space.

The Russian Foreign Ministry noted that "currently there are new opportunities to promote the practical measures proposed by Russia and China to keep outer space free of any type of weapons and to avoid the use of force or the threat of force with respect to space objects" .

The resolution proposed by Russia and China was approved on December 24 by a majority vote of the member states of the UN.
The document intends to start work on the format of the UN Group of Governmental Experts to prepare recommendations on the most important elements of an international agreement to prevent an arms race in outer space, including the prevention of the deployment of weapons.

The Secretary General of the UN should form this Group of Experts, which will be composed of the representatives of 25 States, at the beginning of the year 2018.

In 2018 and 2019 the group will hold two two-week sessions in Geneva.

I am aware every single Asgardian has the feeling of love to Asgardia. But love would not create us a home by itself. We must also do sacrifices from our pockets and donate for our new homeship. By myself i donate 100 dollars with every paycheck. So if we want this country we should pick our wallets and build Asgardia from it ashes.

IN THIS EPISODE 15th episode of the Space Citizen News Podcast. Helena Aramendia from Parliament PR subcommittee shares current work and projects of Parliament, interview with Asgardian Mayoral Candidate Michael Aluxhim for Jakarta in Indonesia, current population statistics and presentation of the upcoming events for Asgardia.

What are the consequences for us being part of Asgardia?

In this part, I wanna talk about differences in cultures, and I wanna make it more visible to you.

First consequence is that you're citizens of a nation without boarders. You have to understand those different cultures and have to learn how to treat them without harming their cultural beliefs.

But what does this mean to us?

Prof. Dr. Armin Klein has made many studies on this specific subject. He asked many people, who where employees at IBM International to fill out his studies. He was able to show differences between cultures, and how to optimize the way of working with them.

One example are we Germans. German people hate of being unsure about something. Therefore we invented lots of laws and rules for nearly every situation we step into. Other countries  and cultures do not like being restricted by laws and rules to work effectively.

Another important thing are for example symbols and gesture of people. An international diver sign for everything is all right is 👌

But in some countries and areas people will get confused or agree about it. In this areas it means that you are an as**h***.

Seems quite funny, but is also a great ground for misunderstandings.

Or having lunch... In Germany you have to be there right on time. Lunch will take between 1 hour, upto one and a half.

If you are invited to lunch in Brazil or Spain you have to take your time. Being late upto 30 minutes is normal, and lunch can get a long time - upto 2 - 3 hours.

These are some of the examples. It's not necessary, nor is it really important to know each cultural differences between all of them. It's more important to remember that they exist, and to take care if a problem might have it's reason in different cultural ways to treat them.
