Well, I for one certainly am glad that I found my way here. Who wants to be a citizen of any earthly nation? Asgardia represents something I've dreamed of since I was a child. And I love the nod to one of the greatest dream makers in the naming of the nation. I look forward to getting to know the citizens of Asgardia, and being involved in a substantial way.

Welp, here I am.

I finally voted on the constitution which I have reviewed this morning, plus having to watch the Press Conference Today in Hong Kong and might I say I have taken the next step to proceed.

Upon reviewing the Constitution I've noticed there were some revisions that made some statements on the draft less vague and a little more elaborate. Also I'm quite happy that the age requirements for some of the Legislative, Governmental and Head of State positions went down considerably (even though I'm underage for those positions), because that will help gather more input from younger generations upon debates and discussions within the future.

I'm still quite confused about this recent info about NGO Asgardia usually about (I think) paid memberships and the obligation/benefits of voting more? Overall I wish there was a more summarized way about these new details of NGO Asgardia.

Looks like Dr. Ashurbeyli continued to push for a Constitutional Monarchy despite what other displeased users have said. I'm almost definite most if not all Asgardians are on split sides whether to vote for the constitution or not, but alas it is each individual's choice. Personally from watching both the Press Conference and reading the Constitution Dr. Ashurbeyli did indeed stated that the Asgardian gov't will be unique. Combining the some ideas from the gov't of USA, parliamentary of the UK and the election of a King from the country of Bhutan (Dr. Jakhu has said during the press conference) would be fascinating gov't to watch turning the working cogs of Asgardia. As of right now I'am waiting for candidates to be chosen so that the constitution can be interpreted and laws would be finally put into place.

As for the website it seems I have to get re-acquainted with the massive overhaul that has been put into place. So many button and links that makes this site a maze once again. I'm sure the longer I long around the more I can comprehend the new mechanics. Hopefully a staff member could possibly write a manual so we can get a better understanding of this new site. Also I noticed that using mobile devices to use the site is difficult to use due to the compact information that are being stored on one screen being all shown at once, it would be nice to add an expanding & collapsing menu for this sort of situation.

Alright, those are my personal thoughts. I might post more soon, because I haven't finished exploring the new site yet.

So until next time.

Hi Everyone,

It was quite a read and there are a number of opinions that arose in the reading of the Constitution draft. Concerning recognition of citizenship and assurity; I don’t see the mention of the rights of Gays or Transgenders. I don’t read anything that implies that there are any recognized rights.

I don’t see any rights that ensure that racism would not exist. You may say that it is implicit but we have seen that historically implicit and definitive are separate from each other.

The Supreme Values does not make room for those who cannot propagate or refuse to propagate.

There exists only rights for those who are ‘birthed’. In the long term or looking into the future, based on current scientific, medical or scientific experimentation or future developements, there could be those who are not ‘birthed’ but rather cloned whether it is in the Nation itself or a nation of ‘Earth’. There could also be or arise technologies that allow for transplantation of head or mind either into a another body or even mechanical in nature. In that case, does a person still have rights or not? Can an argument be made that a person does not because of certain percentage is birthed or not birthed? There also exists within this draft, no protections for the disabled nor a clear definition of the question of the rights of sentient life or the definition of life. These also can be areas of dispute and raise possibilites for prejudice and violence.

As for government and governmental powers, monarchial systems whether historical or current have clearly shown that such can spiral out of control easily and be more harmful to a society than good. A Head of State should not be a birthright but should be a right by election to ensure the rights of self-governance. It also should not be a permanent position but one that has a term limit to avoid the possibility of ‘dictatorial rule’. There should also be a separation of powers to ensure that citizens have a right of proper redress.

These are but a few that should not be amendable for a future date but basic and definitive. Referendums can be advantageous but they can also be restrictive. How are rights protected and ensured if they can easily be voted away? Morality is not defined in this document so morality can be decided by will rather than be right.

This space nation was a great idea but in the absence of these basic assurances of freedom to ‘BE’ I cannot in good conscience be part of the formation and existence of another sytem that does not garauntee that freedoms and rights are inherent or intrinsic.

But thank you for the initial citizenship opportunity.

Just from a cursory glance at the Asgardian constitution, I'm finding some of the provisions to be a little vague, and at least in USA overly vague statutes aren't enforceable, or are construed in favor of the party that didn't make them.

*As a side note, it's important that we enforce business agreements, have a currency that's backed by precious metals, and allow imprisonment for judges convicted of corruption.  I'd prefer a decentralized power system (like a republic or a democracy) to a monarchy, as too much power in one pair of hands can be dangerous, but apparently we are a monarchy and that's that.

While I checked  my YouTube channel subscriptions and I found random videos from the same YouTube channel when Dr. Ashurbeyli made the New Calender video. I'm guessing the Channel is hijacked and I'm wondering if there's any official with the access to the channel to remove the unwanted contents (AKA: Random videos) and take back control of the Asgardian YouTube channel.
