As we know, Asgardia is a duty-based government which attended itself as cleaning space junk in Earth's orbit. Based on that Asgardia is a social responsibility project more than a country or a state but at the same time it has citizens unofficially (for now) and by the acceptance of the citizens, Asgardia is a legal country even now. So if we think about urgency of the space junk stiuation, Asgardia is a legit project and even a country more than any other settlements in Earth. There is more than 600.000 junks around the world and they moves faster than a bullet in zero-gravity (about 12-15 km/sec). Russian cargo ship “Progress M-2M ” has been launched from International Space Station in February 3rd, 2014 but had to interrupt it's flight because of space junks and forced to sink into Pasific Ocean in February 11th, 2014. This incident makes scientist think about cleaning space junk in orbit when more than a tonne space junks removed from Progress M-2M.
If we understand the mission of Asgardia we can understand it's importance at the future of the world and all humankind. Space junks causes delays on space investigations and costs loss of million dollars to the space examination projects and damages satellites every year. Some numbers about junks which helps us to understand the tragedy; 500,000 pieces of space debris between 1 and 10cm
More than 21,000 pieces larger than 10cm
More than 100 million pieces below 1cm
Most orbital debris is within 2,000km of the Earth's surface
The greatest concentrations of debris are found at 750-800km
Travel up to speeds of 28,163 km/h (17,500 mph)
Only 7% of space junk is functional

Humankind shall solve the problem with Asgardia's main goal and that makes stronger Asgardia's hands in international arena.
Duty of the citizens: Everybody has something to do for Asgardia
As a legit formation, Asgardia has about 430.000 officially accepted citizens in more than 80 countries in the world with unique skills, powers and understandings. That means Asgardia has much more intellactuality than a country which owns citizens randomly. However there is more than a thousand people interest with engineering, about 500 interests with politics and countless people brainstorming about future of the world and Asgardia, more than 430.000 people interested in space according to the official groups on social media and it means anybody can figure something to help Asgardia (and the Earth) to a better place.
Non-Aggressive Political Packs in Co-operation with other governments and importance of councils
As declared before, Asgardia has a very important duty for the world and humankind. These comes with great responsibility and suspectibility for any other countries which invests on space researches. Due to this time until acception as a legit country above the Earth, Asgardian founders must declare themselves and missions clearly to the other governments. Clearness and suspectibility is the key of the starting a new civilization for that because taking advanges against others on singularity of the orbits cleanings is a big deal. That means needs a lot of funds, labor, speciality and politic moves to keep it's power on orbit. Economic and politic cooperations between U.S.A, China and Russia is necessary except being a colony of them. First, Asgardia should be an autonomous goverment of U.N to recognizing easily for first tier countries of the world like Germany, France, U.S.A, Japan etc. and second tier countries like BRIC countries because these countries are the most investigators in space researches as well, until founders reaches to the power of being independent without any threats and find a way to collect funds without helps from other countries like taxes from space companies or from citizens as citizenship fee. After actualizing of being a real govenment as Asgardia, should've assign councils well educated directly from founders about Asgardia's missions, space cleaning and politics which has got talents and culture of their region's in order of participants' countries variable counts depends on area. Thus, the country's main or side missions, arrengements between other goverments and social rights of dual citizens can be declared more effective ways. The other thing is about goverments which not allows dual citizenship in their laws. (you can find your country
here
for if your country allows dual/multiple citizenship or not)
These councils should work on acceptance about exception to Asgardia because it's a scientific research more than ethnical, cultural, ideological or any other seperatist movements. At the beginning, councils should be choosen from volunteers which has right skills and vision of being Asgardian. Councils only allowed ad referandum signature in only very urgent situations.
Councils' missions are; Understanding reservations of the people in countries and satisfy them. Explain main goals of Asgardia to the media, goverments and public correctly. In charge of education or studies about Asgardia's main purposes to the civillians. Works with economists, pedagogues, teacher groups, societies and foundations to reaching to the mass. Giving symposiums at high schools, universities or colleges to show what humankind can. Eliminate the false news about Asgardia and reformation them immediately.
