In order to represent the Kingdom of Asgardia to Earthlings effectively I believe you should first have a deep and thorough understanding of as much of the planet Earth as possible. To that end we (my canine traveling companion) have embarked on a multi-year exploration of the America's. Our findings can be found and followed at https://www.adventureswithdog.com and/or https://www.instagram.com/adventureswithdog/

Thank you fellow Asgardian

I'm excited to try and help support this endeavor. English is my main language. I know a little German. and I just learned most of the hiragana in Japanese. I'm interested in promoting open source solutions to members of of the asgardia community. I'm not sure if I want to live in space. However, I like the possibility of visiting at some point for a little while someday. I also want humanity to start colonizing the solar system to ensure humanity survives prosperously into the distant future while enhancing our technology and capabilities. I also wouldn't mind if there's some kind of business or research space I could fill in asgardia.

Why I chose to be a citizen of Asgardia is because I want to start not only my own life but begin a new one somewhere where life means something more than what it is here on Earth. To be human is to have equal rights for all and for everyone. Not one man/woman is the exact duplicate but all should be given the same exact laws as their neighbor. To be on Asgardia-1, life would be more simple.

As a nation that clearly states that it will mirror earth, but not be like it. Will marijuana and other substances (to a certain extent) be legal in the space nation? I'm sure we'd all love a 'THAT 70'S SHOW' spinning camera sequence while gazing into the galaxy. Agree? Disagree? I'd love to read your perspective!

I apologize if the pictures being posted are very pixelated. Regardless, after reading most of the constitution, skimming through some of it, the question came up? If the technology is available, are Asgardians allowed to use their own spaceships? I know I read in the constitution that we can participate in like space exploration, but I'm sure that's for government work. So the question is, are we allowed to freely travel through space, with our own ships. Or are the elected officials not to keen on the idea? If you agree, or disagree, I'd love to read your perspective!

What if one day we could "grow" buildings and other various structures and even electronics?  If you think about the resources required to build a city and towns and to construct electronics require materials that are becoming steadily more rare as the demand increases.  However, the one most abundant material on Earth are biological material.  The resources all living biological beings require are certain minerals to sustain its own growth and with composting we can always replenish those minerals in a non-harmful way.

This idea isn't new and in fact it's technological basis of the aliens called the Taelons in Gene Roddenberys Earth: Final Conflict.  From their Mothership to the buildings they constructed on Earth were all biologically based.  This technology is far off into the future, but advances have been made such as Harvard scientists saving data onto colonies of bacteria to even utilizing the science of synthetic biology in order to achieve this.

This is truly one of the reasons why I joined Asgardia, a place where people can come together and work in solidarity with each other to achieve the highest potential of humanity.  Sure, it would be nice if we could do this on Earth, but the political structures in place in each of our native countries does not allow this collaboration to occur.  Instead, we are divided by borders and thus the potential of humanity can not be realized.  Working alongside my fellow biological science based comrades perhaps we can quash the borders that separate us and, as Asgardians, help each other and others realize ther full human potential.

THE EVENTUAL GOAL OF ASGARDIA IS FOR OUR CITIZENS TO LIVE AND WORK BEYOND EARTH. HOWEVER, EACH ASGARDIAN REMAINS A MEMBER OF THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY HERE ON OUR HOME WORLD. AS SUCH, ALL ASGARDIANS ARE IMPACTED BY MANMADE AND NATURAL EVENTS THAT MAY CHALLENGE OUR SENSE OF SHARED COMMUNITY AND POSE RISKS TO OUR FELLOW CITIZENS. IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENGAGE WITH OTHER NATIONS ON EARTH, ENSURING THE HEALTH AND WELFARE OF ALL ASGARDIANS ACROSS THE GLOBE. DISCUSSIONS INVOLVING SOCIAL AND FINANCIAL POLICY, SCIENTIFIC COLLABORATION, AND SECURITY WILL ALL BE NECESSARY.

WHAT IS OFTEN OVERLOOKED IS THE IMPORTANCE OF MEETING THE PSYCHOLOGICAL NEEDS OF OUR COMMUNITY. IT IS WITHIN THIS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT FIELD THAT I INTEND TO OFFER ASGARDIA MY SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE AS A PRACTICING MENTAL HEALTH CLINICIAN. IN ADDITION TO MY CLINICAL WORK, I AM A TRAINED SUPPORT RESPONDER (SECOND RESPONDER) FOR DISASTER RELIEF AND HUMANITARIAN EFFORTS. IF WE ARE TO HAVE A HEALTHY SOCIETY, IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT THE PSYCHOLOGICAL NEEDS OF OUR CITIZENS ARE ADDRESSED, INCLUDING THE IMPACT FROM MANMADE AND NATURAL EVENTS ON THE PSYCHOLOGICAL WELLBEING OF ASGARDIANS AROUND THE GLOBE.

I CHALLENGE MY FELLOW MENTAL HEALTH THERAPISTS, COUNSELORS, PSYCHOLOGISTS, AND PSYCHIATRISTS TO MAKE SURE OUR INPUT IS COUNTED AND OUR VOICES ARE HEARD IN EVERY RELEVANT COUNCIL AND COMMITTEE. I INTEND TO TOSS MY HAT INTO THE RING, AS IT WERE, AND RUN FOR ONE OF THE POSITIONS UP FOR ELECTION. IT IS A LONG SHOT BUT IT IS WORTH A TRY.

The concept of "Asgardia" is noble and inspiring, but this is a social experiment, and it might not succeed. That shouldn't stop us from trying to make it work.

I would like to help guide us toward the best decisions for the Asgardian community, especially as it relates to the rest of the Earth populace. Not all of the initial proposals make sense -- we don't need and would be harmed by having 13 months in a year when we are located on this planet, for example. A bit of forethought would go a long way toward making Asgardia a reality that works in the real world.

At the founding of a new government, we have the opportunity to learn from the mistakes of our predecessors, and implement better systems. In that vein, I would like to propose that we implement Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) for all future referendums and elections. RCV systems provide results that are more representative of the community, without silencing minority voices. A good description of RCV can be found here: http://www.fairvote.org/rcv#rcvbenefits .

The eventual goal of Asgardia is for our citizens to live and work beyond Earth. However, each Asgardian remains a member of the global community here on our home world. As such, all Asgardians are impacted by manmade and natural events that may challenge our sense of shared community and pose risks to our fellow citizens. It is our responsibility to engage with other nations on Earth, ensuring the health and welfare of all Asgardians across the globe. Discussions involving social and financial policy, scientific collaboration, and security will all be necessary.

What is often overlooked is the importance of meeting the psychological needs of our community. It is within this critically important field that I intend to offer Asgardia my skills and knowledge as a practicing mental health clinician. In addition to my clinical work, I am a trained support responder (second responder) for disaster relief and humanitarian efforts. If we are to have a healthy society, it is extremely important that the psychological needs of our citizens are addressed, including the impact from manmade and natural events on the psychological wellbeing of Asgardians around the globe.

I challenge my fellow mental health therapists, counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists to make sure our input is counted and our voices are heard in every relevant council and committee. I intend to toss my hat into the ring, as it were, and run for one of the positions up for election. It is a long shot but it is worth a try.
