On June the 25 ^th , Asgardia will host the inauguration of Igor Ashurbeyli at a ceremonious event at the Hofburg in Vienna. Today, I look at 7 reasons why this historic event is important for Asgardia.

1. It puts us on the world stage

This is a public and prestigious event that will be attended by prominent figures. It will also be observed by some of the world’s top mass media outlets making it a great chance for Asgardia to stand up and introduce itself on the global stage.

2. It shows that we are serious

This event has had a lot put into it. Capital, manpower, resources and logistics on this level isn’t something that just anyone could deploy. This will give Asgardia a chance to show the world that it isn’t just the product of imagination, but is capable of real, tangible results. (Assuming launching a satellite into space wasn’t enough.)

3. It makes things official

The inauguration gives us a chance to be constitutionally compliant and officiate our head of nation. He will also have the opportunity to give a public address that will help to set the tone of Asgardia moving into the future.

4. Good Press

As I touched on earlier, this event will be followed by some leading mass media outlets and news of the inauguration will be broadcast around the world. No doubt that the good news will also spread to others and help Asgardia grow and be seen by many people.

5. Parliament will get to meet for the first time

While the inauguration may be the ‘main course’, the icing on the cake is definitely the first official meeting of Parliament on the 24 ^th . This will be a great chance for Asgardia to kickstart the legislative process.

6. We can make new friends

Asgardia will need friends, experts and business partners if we want to achieve our core goals. With up to 400 prominent people in attendance, Asgardia will have a chance to make some new friends that may open up doors for our growing nation.

7. It gives us a good excuse to celebrate.

This is a huge milestone for our nation and a major reason to be a proud Asgardian and celebrate with others. As this moment goes down in Asgardia’s history books we’ll hopefully look back at it in the future and have some fond memories of our own celebrations.

Q. How do I get an official Passport?

A. Passports will only start to be issued once we have reached mutual recognition with other nations that will accept an Asgardian passport as an official document.

It is expected that Citizens will need to present themselves in-person to an Asgardia embassy or consulate to be officially verified before obtaining a travel document.

Q. How do I get an official ID Card?

A. Though no official release date has been given for ID Cards, they are expected to be issued to verified citizens this year. In Decree 13, Administration was instructed to prepare ID cards for the time of the elections.

ID cards will include the unique ID numbers on them (Which you need to keep secret!). It is expected that these cards will be used to access official Asgardia services (such as banking when our currency, SOLAR, is launched.)

Q. I got married, how can I change my name?

A. Write an eMail to support@asgardia.space to request the change to your name and they will assist you with this. This is also applicable for people who have changed their name through other means such as divorce or deed poll.

Q. Am I a part of the ‘golden hundred thousand’?

A. The ‘golden hundred thousand’ was the name given to the first people to pass the third level of verification, but, this figure was closer to 113,000. If your personal data was verified and you had accepted the constitution before 13 September 2017 (4 september 0001) then you’re one of the golden hundred thousand.

Q. When are we expecting United Nation approval for statehood

A. There is no straightforward process to get recognised by the U.N. and there is no pre-defined timeline for this to happen. Asgardia is working towards being recognised as an independent nation and this requires bilateral recognition from other nations. Getting recognition by the international community as an independent nation is one of our core goals.

Q. When will we build space stations?

A. Building a space station is a very costly and time-intensive process that will require budgets, planning and expertise. Building space-stations, or “Arks” is one of Asgardia’s long-term projects and there is no current estimated time-line, though Dr. Ashurbeyli said in the Moscow Conference (October 2017) that he hoped to go to the moon or spend some time on an orbital Ark in his lifetime.

Got more questions?

There is loads of great information on the official FAQ page on asgardia.space

So the first five months have been eventful, after voting in Asgardia's first parliamentary elections, I am volunteering as Technical Specialist for an MP and feeling very much a part of Asgardian society for the first time since gaining citizenship so would like to say a massive thank you to Carol. I am looking forward to watching this project grow into a great nation smashing the norm like a hammer and again like a hammer, rebuild the ideals of Earth into a more prosperous one for all of humanity. One Unity One Humanity

A different path to building the Nation.

By Ross Cheeseright | 10/04/2018

As many of you will know, I have been working on helping to build Asgardia for a long time now. That journey took me on the road of running for Parliament where I got to meet many-many new Asgardians. Once the decision was made to allow only those Asgardians of over 40 years of age to run for Parliament, I stepped down from the race and registered myself as a Government Candidate.

Since then I have been overwhelmed with the support and have gained over 1,700 votes from people who voiced their support for me and I enjoy a daily discourse with many new Asgardian friends.

Recently, however, a new path has opened that will allow me to help make Asgardia a reality.

I have always had 2 main goals in Asgardia.

1: To give my time an energy to Asgardia to make the project a success.
2: To build upon my knowledge of Virtual Reality and try to bring Virtual Reality to Asgardia.

I will still be working on Virtual Reality for the nation and trying to show Asgardians the benefits of the technology and working on my blogs, research and communications, but I will also be taking a role in Asgardia’s Administration.

My main duties while working for Administration revolve around internal communications and helping to grow the nation by spreading the good word of Asgardia and getting new Citizens interested in our Nation.

This will allow me to work directly with the Head of Administration and Lena De Winne to make sure people are kept up to date with official information.

I’m 100% committed to making Asgardia a real and independent nation and helping to realise its core goals.

Let’s get to work.

• Ross Cheeseright

I spent a lot of time on Asgardia’s networks, on our social networks and on our own website. Much of the time I spend there is enjoying debate and discussion with people from all walks of life. One topic that I have seen come up time and time again is the subject of what role Religion will take in Asgardia.

I’ll preface this by saying that I do not subscribe to any religion – I’m a facts guy – If you show me compelling evidence, I’ll change my opinion in line with the best facts that we’ve got on hand with the understanding that I might need to change my opinion again down the line.

And I don’t think that this discussion needs to take place from an angle of ‘is religion good or is it bad’ but rather, it needs to take the form of “What does our constitution say about it.”.

What does the constitution say about Religion?

Preamble > Chapter 1 > Point 4:

All citizens of Asgardia are equal, irrespective of their Earthly country of origin, residence, citizenship, race, nationality, gender, religion , language, financial standing, or any other attribute.

Preamble > Chapter 1 > Point 11:

Asgardia is a nation of free spirit, science, internationalism. Every Asgardian can freely practice any religion of Earth in Asgardia.

Chapter 5 > Article 16 > Point 4

Prejudice during elections and referenda based on Earthly country of birth, residence, citizenship, race, nationality, gender, religion , language, wealth, and any other attribute is forbidden.

Chapter 2 > Article 2

Asgardia is the first independent, free, unitary, and social Space Nation, which is transethnic and secular , is based on morality, fairness, peace, and the equal dignity of every human being, looks to the future and the infinite Universe, and is a Kingdom.

The Analysis of the language

So – as we can see from the language used in the constitution, there are two main facts that outline Asgardia’s perspective on religion:

This language suggests that while Asgardians are free to practice a religion, Asgardia is secular in nature. Being secular means that there is no relationship between the nation and religion. Therefore, while religion would be allowed in the nation, the nation would not base its decisions, rules or laws upon religion.

“Separation of church and state.” would be a good way to sum it up.

Asgardia wants to join the UN. Does that make a difference?

The UN has some fairly strong views on religion – specifically article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in where it states:

Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion ; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.

The wording here outlines the freedom of religion and to manifest that religion is a basic human right.

If Asgardia wants to join the UN, that might explain why in the preamble it states that Asgardian Citizens are free to practice any earthly religion in our Nation.

Another vast repository of support from the UN for religious practice can be found within the 1981 Declaration on the Elimination of all forms of Intolerance and of Discrimination Based on Religion or Belief.

Conclusion

I can understand Asgardian desire to ‘put the past behind us’ and ‘look to the future’ and to many people this means leaving all things that divide us on Earth. Few things in history have been more divisive than religion.

However – There is a danger that rather than expressing a desire for science and leaving behind our earthly divides, someone might end up discriminating against someone – and prejudice might come through if some stigma is attached to religion.

It’s important that Asgardians lead by example and I think that also means accepting people, regardless of their “ Earthly country of origin, residence, citizenship, race, nationality, gender, religion , language, financial standing, or any other attribute.”

And while Lena de Winne may have said:

"Asgardia is a free-of-religion society. Everybody is free to practice their religions on earth, but we do not take our religion with us to Asgardia."

I only partly agree with that. Asgardia, as a nation, should be ‘Religion-free’ in that it should not inform our decisions, laws or motivations. However, I that ‘banning’ religion and actively discriminating against people who have Earthly religions would be walking down an incredibly dark path and I will be eagerly watching this point when it reaches the floors or Government and Parliament.

As the elections draw to a close, it certainly seems that Asgardia is looking towards the future – there are a lot of developments, Parliament is being selected, there is a design contest for the Solar and Lunar currency and there is a big contest to select the next finance system with a grand prize of $10,000.

One of the areas that I’m most interested is our ‘home’.

Asgardia exists in a digital space – it’s a large decentralised population that is connected through our various networks (Facebook, Asgardia.space, twitter etc.) and that allows us to come together from all across the world and work together to build this Nation.

However; much of the functionality of the website right now is driven towards “Reading.” – We get news, we get articles, we get competitions, we get decrees and important updates form the HoN – And that’s really great, but there isn’t a lot of functionality for the people to give back.

So I want to start a discussion and see what features people think that the website should have to enable contributions from the Citizens.

For instance, I’d like to see a Central Library of works that were authored by Asgardians and are available to Asgardians. Literary works, fiction, Sci-fi, Academic, Reports – all coming together to start expanding our own nation’s culture.

What sort of features do you think that we should see in the future?

Introduction

In the text of Decree 15, HoN Dr. Igor Ashurbeyli announced that he would bring an end to the funding of the nation, with all funding due to wrap up by the end of the year. The purpose of Operation: Treasury is to start exploring ways for Asgardia to develop its own funds.

Aim

To mobilize and organize a think-tank of volunteers from  the community with a view to source viable methods of funding Asgardia in both the pre and post formation of Parliament, and to help deliver the vehicles and services required for Asgardians to generate income and trade with one another.

Objectives

1. Operation: Treasury will seek to bring into the fold any Asgardians who think that it is something they might be able to help with.
2. This Operation will seek to explore, address and propose and implement both short-term and long-term solutions regarding the financing of the nation.
3. The operation will be comprised of independent citizens, parliamentary candidates and government candidates, but no current ranking officials or members of Asgardia NGO.
4. Within the scope of this operation will be the research and establishment of revenue-generating businesses or solutions, project proposals and reports.

Scope

As we are not currently permitted to raise funds on behalf of Asgardia, the think-tank will be limited to conducting research, making proposals or developing projects that have the involvement or the formal agreement of Asgardia’s copyright holders / Asgardia NGO.

Transparency

One of the primary goals will be the absolute transparency of the operation and every effort shall be made to share the details, costs, income and expenses of any projects that are run. Furthermore, all reports, investigations and research will be shared with the community, with Parliament and Asgardia NGO.

First Step

The first step we are taking is to notify the community of this think-tank and start to gather together volunteers so that we can conduct meetings and brainstorming sessions to come up with some solutions to the financial problems that we’re facing as a Nation.

How you can help

Salutations my fellow Asgardians,

Many of you have may have recently seen something about a 100 EURO fee circulating around on our Social Media 'outlets' and I have seen that it is causing some confusion so I wanted to write a blog to clear up that confusion a little.

What's going on?

On the Feb 01, 2018 Decree 14 was announced and attached to that decree was a special provision that incites a 100 EURO mandatory donation (fee) for those people willing to enter into Parliament. The purpose behind this fee is for those people running for Parliament to show that they're serious and that they're willing to put their money where their mouth is.

Is it for my Citizenship ID?

No. This has nothing to do with your registration as a Citizen. This is a fee for those people willing to get into Asgardian Politics.

Is it a scam?

It's common practice in many countries to have a fee for those people willing to join a parliament or a government to ensure that only serious candidates are applying. Furthermore, in the provision it states

" the money can be returned to you if you so choose, can be transformed into your registration fee for a candidacy to other bodies of government administration, or can be applied toward the purchase of Asgardia national currency – the Solar ."

So it's highly unlikely that this is a scam! Of course, if you're not comfortable with giving Asgardia your hard earned money, don't.

I have already donated, do I need to donate again?

No. Any money that you have donated so far is counted towards your total donations. So if you've already donated 100 Euros or more, then you're covered and can continue on your way to the top.

I don't have enough money for that, what can I do?

Official word from the CEC is that you are allowed to fund-raise money for your election campaign and when people are submitting donations, they need to clearly state on them that the donation is for your election campaign. This will then count towards your total. A good way to get support from your followers and share out any potential risk.

Where can I learn more?

Go and read all the information attached to decree 14 and make sure that you bookmark my blog to get regular information.

Support me:

I want to work hard for Asgardia, but I can't do that without your support. If you want to help me commit my time and energy, you can vote for me as a Government candidate or support me on Patreon .

Hello there my Fellow Asgardians,

Some of you eagle-eyed people may have noticed that my campaign profile has appeared under the "Government Candidate" section of the website, complete with a whole new campaign platform. Here's the rundown.

What happened?

Some time ago I announced that I was pulling out of the Parliamentary Elections. It had been decided at the highest levels that persons aged below 40 were not eligible to run for Parliament, after a hard-fought campaign and over 1,100 votes and a poll to petition the decision, it was upheld and my Parliamentary Election campaign came to an end.

When I pulled out of the running, it was not possible to vote for multiple candidates and there was no such thing as a Government candidate and honestly, I had no intentions of joining the Government race.

My decision was to leave the race and give back all those 1,100 votes to my supporters so that they could vote for someone that was actually eligible. I didn't want such an important vote simply being thrown away on someone that wasn't eligible.

Why are you running?

I have been working in Asgardia behind the scenes and I have been following the developments of the nation with a keen interest and I can see that there are a lot of areas that need people to drive action, results and fairness. Following the announcement of decree 14 and 15, I can see that in order for the nation to succeed, we're going to need to 'take the bull by the horns' and start to self organise.

I have seen, through recent communications, that there are going to be multiple positions in the Government that will need to be filled and I feel that I can bring a lot of skill and drive to the ministry of information and communication that will allow me to ensure better standards for Asgardians.

Furthermore, it seems like this ministry will be the perfect place to house my efforts to bring Virtual Reality to the nation and eventually, create a completely off-world VR ecosystem free from reliance on other nations for their internet superhighways.

Where can I find out more?

After re-submitting my profile for the new Government Candidate race, it seems that it was re-instated with all my original votes. I have completely overhauled my campaign page with new information befitting the post that I hope to attain in the future.

The profile can be seen here: https://asgardia.space/en/user/784722/profile/view/

If you'd like to support me (and you haven't already voted for me.) then please head over there and learn a little bit about me.

Let's build a nation!

Regards,

Ross Cheeseright

Hello Asgardians. I'm surprised with the lack of communication here, so I thought I'd start a conversation by saying hello and introducing myself.

Hello!

I'm Matthew, I live near Oxford, England. I work at the University of Oxford as a Research Software Engineer (aka "Code Monkey"!).

I'd like to see this Asgardia experiment have a positive attitude on how we perceive our fellow humans wherever they may live.

What do you do? And why are you here?

So after my first week of becoming an Asgardian, I can see that we have achieved a lot but yet are decades away from achieving our ultimate goal. We have to work together to build a stable infrastructure, create defence from other nations not military per se but a form of security force, after all not all nations see the Earth the way we do. More research towards protecting Earth from famine, disease and threats from space, NEO's, solar flares etc. As Asgardians it falls to us to front the capital it will take for this to happen at present. If we all donate £10 a month then we could generate £17,400,000 p.a and we could drive our great kingdom forward to realise the dream we all share.

For Asgardia and Earth

Introduction

Asgardia has made an indirect statement on the age-limit for Parliamentary candidates. On the 24 ^th of December they have updated the website, splitting the candidates into two categories. Parliamentary candidates and Government Candidates.

I am disappointed that this has not been communicated in any meaningful way but their answer is clear: They will not be lowering the age to become a member of Parliament. It is good to finally have a resolution in this matter as it was a debate the drove on for a long time.

What does this mean for me

I have currently over 1,100 votes from people that wanted me to become a member of Parliament and to represent them in Parliament. I campaigned to become a member of Parliament so that I could put in time and effort to build up and shape the nation into something successful and I have been driven by your support and your wishes.

I have no intention of running for a position in Government at this time.

I cannot stress enough how disappointed I am that I cannot fulfil my promises to everyone and it is with a heavy heart that I officially announce the withdrawal of my campaign from the election race. I am truly grateful and humbled by your support and your belief in me.

However, at this time a decision has been made by the head of the nation and we must respect his decision in this matter.

The future

This is not the end of my participation in the Asgardia project, while I am bitterly disappointed in how the elections have been conducted I still have faith that Asgardia can learn from its mistakes and that more robust procedures can be put in place in the future.

This is just the Alpha stage of our nation and there is a long way to go yet and a lot of work still to be done.

I will be taking a step back from politics to focus my efforts on getting results for Asgardia just as I promised in my campaign. I will continue to study and work towards developing Virtual Reality and I will be looking to do what I can to find those other Asgardians who also want to get to work.

If the rules on Parliament change in the future, then I will start another campaign – I hope that I will be able to count on your support once again.

Thank you for everything, my fellow Asgardians.

Yours sincerely,

Ross Cheeseright

Salutations my fellow Asgardians,

It is tradition in my Fiancé’s country to celebrate Christmas on the 24 ^th of December, in mine, we do it on the 25 ^th but as she must live away from home, we decided to keep her traditions so that she can be reminded of home.

One of the things that I’ve enjoyed most about being a member of Asgardia is learning about all the different cultures, people and traditions that they have in their countries or communities.

Traditions are a funny thing and they’re deeply rooted in our cultures and our societies. At times, they can be more harmful than good – but in this case, eating good food, sharing gifts and strengthening our family bonds – This is a tradition that I can get behind.

As the year comes to an end, it has a funny way of making you reflect and so here are some of the highlights from year in Asgardia.

1. Debates, discussions and thinking about the future of Asgardia.
2. Running for Parliament and breaking the 1000 supporters mark.
3. Being interviewed by international newspapers.
4. The hype of the (successful) Satellite launch.
5. Reading all the news articles about us.

I’ve met some truly awesome people through this project. Every day I’ve had the privilege of having chats and discussions with people about the future and about Asgardia – there is never a dull moment when you’re a part of a community that dreams about the future.

Whatever traditions Asgardia has in the future or whatever your traditions are now it’s customary for people in my culture at this time of year to say, “Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.” and with it go genuine well wishes.

Have a good one.

Yours Sincerely,

Ross Cheeseright

To my dear supporters,

“Asgardia is a nation of dreamers” – so our new promotional video says, and since I joined Asgardia I have seen the dream slowly start to turn into a reality and it is upon that basis that I have formed my campaign.

As soon as it was (accidentally) announced that the age-limit for the Parliamentary elections was 18 and over, I joined the race without hesitation and started my campaign in earnest in the hopes that I could sit in Parliament and help take your dreams forward.

Since that time I have had the opportunity to meet more and more Asgardians and make friends with people from around the globe and it has truly amazed me that in spite of where we grew up or what challenges we face in our daily lives, so many people have been able to put aside their differences and to come together under this concept.

And though we have a lot of work to do, I’m fortunate enough to have seen a glimmer of the future of Asgardia.

I am overwhelmed that over one thousand of my fellow Asgardians that see the same potential that I see, feel that same about Asgardia as I do and who believe in my abilities to get the job done.

Whatever happens with the elections going forward, I’m proud that we can work together to make positive changes in the world even if it’s something as small as sharing our ideas and accepting one another’s cultures.

Thank you so much for all your support, let’s continue to challenge the status quo and turn this dream into our reality.

Yours sincerely,

Ross Cheeseright, Asgardian.
