I was thinking about why things ended up having gone so wrong in the world and I realized part of the reason why and that is the two party political system. Because there are only two parties in most political systems that allows for either party to monopolize the government. So I think that Asgardia should avoid having just a two party political system. I do not agree Nathan having political parties does not necessarily lead to corruption in politics it is not that simple. The people behind the political parties must themselves be corrupt and that might not be the case. If Asgardia were to have political parties that were comprised of honest individuals then I do not see how there would be any problems. Or perhaps a neutral third party could be setup to police the other two. Or the people who elect the officials could be given the power to terminate the service of a politician found to be engaging in corrupt behavior. They could even be given the ability to disband any political party found to be corrupt!

Current East Coast U.S. resident here, waiting on more official announcements to see where this project is headed. Nice to meet everyone!
