Dear Asgardian friends, I cannot hide my enthusiasm for the presentation of this nomination. The Asgardia project is futuristic and represents a unique opportunity for all of us. I thought about the opportunity to apply for this nomination and then I decided to do it because I believe, in this way, I can contribute to the project in the best possible way. I believe that the mayor must first of all be a link between the local community and the governing bodies, and he can therefore represent the requests of citizens and facilitate the implementation of adequate solutions. I propose below some points on which to focus a possible mandate as Mayor: - Promote the link between citizens and the Government of Asgardia; - Support the implementation of administrative management processes for citizens; - Maintain links with the local community and promote their inclusion in Asgardia's initiatives; - Support all processes dedicated to the creation of infrastructures for the provision of Asgardia services to citizens; - Ensure adequate liaison and representation with local authorities; - Encourage a continuous exchange of ideas and debates in the local community and promote any idea and initiative that reflects and enhances the ideals of Asgardia thanks for your attention and any support for my appointment Best regards, Francesco

Hello, I was hoping to get some clarity on the procedures regarding constitutional amendments. When someone submits a proposal, what happens next? I understand there will be a referendum at some point, but does someone filter proposals or are all of them put to a vote? Are they going to be voted on one by one or on block? Thanks.

Hello my fellow Asgardians! I want to wish everyone a Happy Founding Day! Nation Builders will be hosting a party in AltspaceVR tonight for those people that want to come along and celebrate. Check out https://nationbuilders.space/fd2020 to learn more.

The amazing diversity of life on earth fills me with joy and fear. The joy is obvious, I regard nature's multiple expressions with awe and delight. The fear is more troubling, because humans are refusing to act in common self interest to keep the planet healthy. And so I turn to Asgardians.

We've completed our 'unity day book project' - this is now alive and we'll be sending this first copy to Dr. Ashurbeyli and figuring out the logistics of getting it into the hands of anyone who wants a copy very soon.

Been working alongside Amazon this last fortnight as my magnum opus "Shiko" has grown too large for their franchise publishers in Poland to print it in one volume. In addition, the Kindle version takes too long to download. As it now weighs in at just short of 300,000 words (a normal novel is roughly 80,000), I have been instructed to unpublish the old one-volume version and rework it as a two-parter, with new ISBNs. I have further created a website blog to house online (with links from the book) the extensive End Papers which will not be included in Part One, plus it means a reader won't have to lose their place if they ever need to consult the glossary. Once done, the novel will out there until the world's end – and long after I have passed on. >Hornblende: a relative young (second century) planet allegedly of little mineral worth, colonised only as a stepping-stone for future expansion, despite its lethal fauna and flora. Out on the Empire's rim, its previous claim to fame was the first bona fide alien artifact which led to it being added to the 1%'s extensive and expensive Grand Tour … until the Empire actually met other space-faring beings on its diametrically opposite border. Plunged into the Alien War, Hornblende is isolated from the distant battles, its jump point destroyed and comms slowed (five years each way now), now intentionally ring-fenced as the last chance for humanity to survive somewhere should the war end badly. Back on Hornblende, Deet Waldstein inadvertently uncovers an insidious alien presence as he thwarts the kidnap of an important figure. Much later, he is coerced into heading a task force that can be seen to be removed from various worried governments, under the aegis of the OAE – the Empire's law givers and final arbiters – ostensibly to fight a new wave of terrorists making good use of the Isolation, but really to probe and counter the alien threat he himself uncovered. He recruits his new force well, but unwisely, and soon members of his team are getting killed. He is attacked and left terminally ill from a high dose of radioactive material, and it seems even his own paymasters are turning against him.

Hey guys! Just to let you know that we won't be having an 'official meeting' tonight as Nation Builders has had a quiet week due to illness and personal circumstances of several of our most active members. I will be online from 9PM UTC to have a more casual session, a chat about all things Asgardia and to discuss anything that comes up. Please feel free to join me.
