The idea that this project, which is what it is, will gain any sort of recognition, is nonsense.

What the heads of this project, and those being elected to server as parliament members, should be focused on, instead, is establishment as a functionally independent entity with the ability to enter into relations with other sovereign entities.

There is already a precedent for the United Nations to reject Asgardia's desire to join the organization, as the UN treaty regarding use and exploration of the Earth's waters (Law of the Sea), rejects artificial structures as something that can be recognized as a state (read about the Sealand dispute to learn more about the subject).

To wrap this up, I don't believe we should be pushing for recognition. Recognition as an independent entity is irrelevant to whether or not we ARE an independent entity.

I always believe in the opportunity to create something bigger, something different from what we have.

Today as a new Asgardian, I want to change things and with my work and what I do every day, I know that I can become a great ambassador and even a good minister for this nation.

I will devote myself to ensure the development and the perennity of this Nation. To be sure that Asgardians around the world can express themselves, and have rights like every nation around the world.

I hope you will give me your trust and your vote, so we can build this great Nation, and let the peoples and species of all the universe heard our voices.

Thank you.

Sincerely, Theophile

Dear Asgardians,

That's a photo of us, our planet from the edge of our solar system, We could seems infinitely little compared to the attonishing vastness of the universe and indeed we are, but inside us, we can touch and grasp the infinity.

It was a long time i go that I saw this video from Carl Sagan, " A pale blue dot", and I think that nothing has inspired in me a sense of unity of mankind more than this video, if you haven't seen it yet, you should:

My name is Marco Genovese and I'm 23 years old space passionate industrial engineer,  Being honest, the first time I saw Asgardia I thought it was a joke, but once i read the aim of our country and its values, i immediatly changed my mind; and now seeing the progresses that we made in this time i decided that i want to participate more actively in Asgardians life, because i believe in this project and i believe in humanity, in its power to create a just and equal society based on knowledge and self-expression.

Seing the enourmous diversity that identify our community, I think i would be a good representant, speaking on a mothertongue level: Italian, french, english and spanish and with a medium level on german and russian.

If someone decides to believe in me, as we all believed in Asgardia, i promess i will do my best to ensure the progress of Asgardia to his ultimate aim and its international recognition.

As humans we came from a random evolution process that took billions of years to take place but I think that what we really are is: The universe that become conscius of itself.

Greatings to everybody who achieved to read until the end,

Please don't hesitate to write me for any question or discussion.

Best Regards,

Marco Genovese
