Art is integral to any culture, and must be preserved so that it may be given the opportunity to evolve and adapt to society, and help shape it as well.

As Minister, I’ll make sure Asgardia has the opportunity to develop forms of music, art, and literature of its very own. Often times, art is overlooked in the grand scheme of things in situations like this. That is why I’ll  dedicate my place as a Minister to these very things.

At any event I attend as Minister, I will not only be a representative of the arts, but an advocate as well. I’ll make sure residents of Asgardia have access to painting, music, writing, and all other art forms.

In addition, I will help write anthems about Asgardia in the style of Bowie, Hendrix, and other musicians who wrote great space music. Thank you.

I will tell you briefly, who I am. And why the hell I am not the right guy for this job. Yet I am still running, because I care about future of mankind. At politics is what I do almost every day.

BLAH, BLAH INTRO...

Let's start from the beginning. I am a Polish, born in Warsaw, at the twilight of the Era. I was born, the same year when the Communism officially ended in my country and the Fall of the Iron Curtain was due in a just couple of years. As each and every one of you, I am grateful to whiteness history in making. First, fall of Communism,  a transition period and then the accession of  Eastern- Central Europe to structures of the EU and NATO, in meantime we had the war on terror, that is still going on. Other words we live in very interesting times.  Now we can see the dawn of two eras in history mankind, maybe even three:  dawn of space age and conquest of it by man, raise of multipolar world order, that has been heralded for few years, and perhaps the rise of AI in next 10 -30 years.  All these events will change a fate of mankind forever. Given if we survive this century...

I believe that Asgardia will become a beacon of stability and enlightenment, in upcoming turbulent age.  I want Asgardia to succeed and become an important player in the international arena. With nation-states raising their attention toward space. A lot of changes are bound to come, changes that will reshape international order.

WHO THE HELL I AM.

Now, when we covered bit of my ideology and into, let's get down to the business. I am not a man of words. But you can say I am a politician of sorts. civic activist and probably one of the funniest people you will encounter in your life.  In my life I have two general principles, I am trying to follow:

I'm not interested in preserving the status quo; I want to overthrow it

Aut Caesar, aut nihil.

I am an ambitious guy and when I put my mind to something, there is no way in the hell to stop me, Currently I reside in Netherland, a small town of Maastricht, where I graduated with my second bachelor degree in European Law and started Masters at United Nations University, however I haven't finished it.  If we're on the subject of education let me mention that I also studied European Studies, IT, and I am a graduate of Political Science of  Warsaw University.  So when it comes to theoretical background, I guess that's more than enough.

Where it comes to practical application of my knowledge, I am quite active in few political youth organisations on the local and European level. And these days, I find myself travelling to EuroCapital, Brussels, quite often, due to my obligations to the organisations I am a member of.  There are a just bit too many to remember,  and may Cthulu be my witness, I don't want to bore you with my blah blah.

However, if you want to know my credentials,  I am a Polish born resident of Netherlands. Soon to be the Vice President of the Young European Federalists (JEF) in Netherlands. Currently, I am Secretary General of JEF Maastricht. I am active in European Youth Politics and my interests cover cyber security, space law, future of the European integration, and Trans-Atlantic relationships. I part of Young Mediterranean  Voices Plus (YMV+), which is an initiative of Vice President of the European Commission Federica Mogherini. We are trying to establish peace in the close Middle East and change the dynamic or relations between Europe and the Middle East, North Africa Region.

To be concise,  the world is changing, and things won't be the same anymore. Asgardia needs people with vision, who will be on the forefront of these changes. And that's, where I want to be.

DON'T VOTE FOR ME

Until now, I was telling, who am I and what makes me suitable to represent you in Asgardia. Well to begin with like majority of us, here in Asgardia. I am a nerd. I love Sci-Fi, Anime, Fantasy and I could dwell in books for hours, and hours. Just reading them. Only if I would have time for it... chlip chlip. :( I should also mention, that I love to cosplay.

For years now I've been a member of the costuming organisation, where I pose as a Sith Lord. You could see that coming, didn't you? Come on, what can you expect from a guy, who studied politics and law, and goes to Brussels, for shit and giggles... Of course, I am evil. Who in right mind would want to study, those subjects and be a good person?

I believe that Earth needs a new hope so mankind can finally spread to other places in the galaxy and then... I can proclaim the first Galactic Empire, for a safe and secure society, which I assure you will last for ten thousand years!

Except having the Dark Side of the Force and my evil ambitions of becoming first ever real space villain. I am a pretty chilled dude. I love sleeping till noon, being lazy and playing with dogs. ( Btw did you know that anagram of dog is god?). Defo I love staying up until late night.  Future is yours, as the vote. Will stand with me, so together we can rule the Galaxy.... Or you're a traitor and part of the Rebel Alliance?

Oh and those who prefer, to make Earth capital of United Federation of Planet... Well, guys how should I break it to you? Live long and prosper.

SO... THE CHOICE IS YOURS

As you see I am not that evil. If you want to get to know me better, simply find me on Facebook or send me an email.  If you want to learn, how I see Asgardia, becoming a First Galactic Empi. .. err First Space Nation.

Thanks for your time and may the odds with me :D

As a Registered Nurse working in information technology, I have a position to see managing the myriad of data for our space nation will be paramount.  All planetary nations will be watching us and most will be spying on us.  Our technology must be protected by any and all means since our very lives will be depending on the reliability of our world which will be controlled by computerized systems.

Our health records will also be extremely important, not only for our ongoing health but as additional research data on the effects of extraterrestrial living.

My platform is relatively simple one.

We treat people the way we would want to be treated: Equal and fairly.

We all have flaws and faults. We are not perfect beings. If we were,  we would not need to have the concepts of justice or law.

Even if we unite humanity under one banner,  some issues may need our attention.  As the minister of justice I will see to it that an equal and fair resolution be found.

I believe in rehabilitation over punishment. I believe in second and even third chances . But  if judgement needs to be passed it will be firm.

I am currently studying to become an aerospace engineer with a minor in astronomy. My interests are Space, Economics, and World news. I will represent all people of the space nation by being open to suggestions from anyone. I have dreams that one day the people of earth will work as a collective to move out from earth by progressing technology at a rapid pace. Space has untapped potential for rare materials from gold and silver to super rare materials not found on earth such as dark matter and anti matter. I also believe that technological advancements in economy such as block chain technology (Bitcoin and Ethereum) will greatly improve our progress towards this international economy.

It is vital in today’s age that our youth be prepared to think critically and deeply- in the hope of one day becoming the future leaders of research, innovation, and progress. Leaders solving our most pressing challenges will be crucial as we look to expand past our current horizons. For this endeavor, an appreciation for the human condition, coupled with an increased focus on STEM opportunities must occur. The study of the Humanities, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math is the future of Asgardia- how we educate our youth will determine our existence!

The Asgardian Ministry of Education will be comprised of 6 departments: Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, Arts, and Humanities. These 6 departments will operate under one cohesive plan to prepare our youth for any future challenges that may arise, by providing: 1. a progressive, rigorous education for ALL Asgardian youth; 2. continuous and rigorous advancement training opportunities for ALL Asgardians; and 3. transitional education for a vital Asgardian workforce.

1.PROMOTE SCIENCE AND ART TO THE EVERYBODY WITH A FOCUS ON THE YOUNGER GENERATIONS AND MAKE SURE WE HAVE EQUALITY AMONG SEXES AND RESPECT FOR ALL CULTURAL AND PERSONAL DIFFERENCES WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF ARTICLE 7.

2.CREATE A PROGRAM FOR BOTH RESEARCH AND ART DEVELOPEMENT WITH BOTH ACHIEVABLE GOALS AND 'MOONSHOT' PROJECTS TO HELP CREATE POTENTIAL BREAKTHROUGHS AND KEEP THE GENERAL PUBLIC EXCITED ABOUT ART AND SCIENCE.

3.ESTABLISH A FORM OF FINANCING FOR THE BEST PROJECTS DECIDED BY A GOVERNMENT ELECTED TECHNICAL COMMITEE.

4.HAVE AN AFFILIATION WITH EARTH ART AND SCIENCE BUT TRY TO PROMOTE ALSO OUR OWN MANIFESTO, COLLECT INFORMATION FROM OUR OWN ART AND SCIENCE INVOLVED CITIZEN, BOTH PROFESSIONAL AND NOT TO BETTER TAILOR OUR EFFORT.

5.ACTIVELY CREATE A BOTH A MARKETPLACE AND AN OPEN COMMUNITY TO GIVE ACCESS OUR CITIZENS TO THE NEWEST AND MOST PROMINENT SCIENTIFIC INNOVATION AND ART.

6.WE BELIEVE THAT THE UNION OF ART IN THE BROADEST SENSE AND SCIENCE IN THE BOARDEST SENSE WILL HELP TO ENLIGHT THE MINDEST  OF OUR CITIZENS AND BRING OUT THE BEST IN EACH INDIVIDUAL, DOWNSIZING WORST PART OF HUMAN BEHAVIOUR (HATRED, GREED, ENVY AND SO FORTH).

7.WE DO NOT TOLERATE INTOLERANCE AND WILL ACTIVELY CONTRAST ANY BEHAVIOUR OF THIS KIND WITHIN THE LAW BOUNDARIES.

I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.

As culture minister this position is typically responsible for cultural policy , which often includes arts policy (direct and indirect support to artists and arts organizations) and measures to protect the national heritage of a country and cultural expression of a country or subnational region. This responsibility usually manifests in the accompanying ministry (also called a "department"), governing the following:

I will develop an arts policy measure to promote, support and protect the arts, artists and arts institutions. The arts policy initiatives generally have two aims: supporting excellence in the arts and broadening access to the arts by citizens.

I believe in fulfilling our destiny as humans to reach out to the stars & to boldly create a mega interplanetary system of government that values the sanctity of life, justice and truth. If elected, I will strive to promote the cause of Asgardia amongst terrestrial humans while trying to mobilise resources to realise this dream in my part of Earth.

Long live Asgardia!

This world is on the brink of interplanetary advancement.  To be one species traveling the stars, we must embrace science and technology.  We can no longer let the uninformed run our species into oblivion.  A scientist is needed who can not only be rational and logical as we travel the stars but also one who can ensure the survival of our species while in the environments we will encounter.  We need someone who can also lead the people.  My experience in the military and as a leader in my industry has prepared me to be an effective manager of people.

Introduction

My name is Randy Nguyen. I am 22 years old and I believe in Asgardia. All my life, I have been contributing to my community in any shape or form with volunteering. I believe that if I can be one more person that can contribute something meaningful. It can make earth a better place even if it was a small thing.

Currently I am a college student majoring in business administration. During my time here, I have held multiple leadership positions (vice chair of student government, vice president of business club, president of international club, student leader of leadership in action, and etc) and meanwhile the most critical element to this was harmonizing with other students by serving them.

Running for Government Position

First, I want to mention that I am running for this position for no salary (even if they did have one) because I believe during this phase is very critical to the Asgardian people. I have the will power and ambition to listen and serve our people with authencity. I do not need a salary to offer my service to the people.

I have been reading through other candidates and what they promised our Asgardian people. Also another concerning thing would be the age requirement to run for this position. I am young but that I bring refreshing ideas to the table that will benefit our people. You may think "but this boy is too young," and I agree with that but I promise you the decisions I make will be logical as long as it benefit our citizens.

Ministry

I am seeking to work as Deputy Minister of Industry because my interest is in that area. Meanwhile alot of other candidates are running for the main minister positions of certain areas. You may ask why is Randy only settling with Deputy Minister instead? I understand that I am young and being young we young people should not be foolish by running for positions that we have no idea what it entails. Especially when it comes to seeking the maximum benefit for our people.

I would like to follow under a wiser candidate that will win as the  Minister of Industry and see how they work. I believe that if I follow this step it would broaden my knowledge for this area and if I ever decide to run for the main position. You, as Asgardian citizen, by then would know my track record and believe in my years of experience to vote for me.

How to Support Me

Please share my profile for votes:

Greetings, I am seeking your nomination for Deputy Secretary of Security. As a futurist and scientist I see the value of the Asgardian mission. As a military member I see that a nation with lofty ideals and technology will need protection and security in order to be sustainable. Due to the inevitability of conflict I will spearhead the development of a security force for the station. I will also supervise the forces training and implementation. We are a peaceful society by our own admission however others are not.  So as a purely defensive measure we must make this a reality. With your nomination I shall, as a great captain once said, “make it so.”

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Deputy Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Asgardia , the Space Kingdom of Asgardia, would initially seem to include advising the President and represents the Kingdom in international affairs and foreign policy issues on earth. But as the First Earth Human Space Kingdom, we would be the appropriate  ambassadors to none earthly encounters. The reality of such a task is terrifying if the unknown terrifies you and you are unprepared. I believe that with science and technology , human compassion and wisdom we will be able to address any unknown being that we shall encounter.

I also live in Tampa, Florida with a computer science background ready for any earthly foreign affairs duties especially to the colonization satellite.

A professional in the IT area with more than 13 years of experience in maritime Industry. Trained to be in confined spaces and sailing for a long period of time(more than 14 years sailing) give me the enough experience to work and tackle any issues under a stressful environments keeping the calm and professionalism at all times. Also Im working in a multicultural environment where lives more that 800 crew member for more than 40 different nationalities religions and gender, been able to respect and work in a super clean and hospitable environment.

¡¡Let me be Your Voice for Diversity , Equality , Liberty & Culture !!

Media maker/producer, cinematographer & technology visionary, with a deep passion for machine learning (ML) & immersive technologies (VR/AR/MR), and a history of empowering disparate communities through compelling storytelling, & implementing successful programs & solutions.

¡¡Using all the best of what our histories have to offer to weave our future amongst the stars!!

I will utilize current blockchain and cryptocurrency  developments to document Our Asgard , and allow individuals to build equity in a culture that rewards its citizen's contributions.

Under my guidance we will crowd source technologies that create an immutable record of our ascent to the stars, and builds the astral artifacts we use to explore our solar system and beyond.

Let's use AR & VR to put our AI in orbit and harvest the ocean of materials adrift around our ancestral home to build our first human astral homes, and extend our reach to the moon and beyond.

I have the imagination and experience to make all our dreams reality.

When I was young our world was torn between two super powered nations, both of whom preached to their allies about the righteousness of their respective causes. History will judge if either was truly righteous or truly self motivated, but the point is the world is not a better place for that conflict. For all of our technology and ease of communication the human race seems more divided than ever. Recidivist  behavior and anarchy disguised as progressive ideals cloud and confuse the lower and middle classes and even some members of the upper class are not immune. We acknowledge those with power and alternately look to them for salvation or attack them for the smallest personal infraction, but we rarely hold them to account.  This has to end on a local and global scale.

As an official in the government of Asgardia, I plan to push for and work towards the following missions:

• Human rights for all, including a discussion on the unborn, their rights, as well as the rights of the mother carrying the child and the father of the child. This should not be construed as an anti-abortion or pro life stance, but instead an acknowledgment that as humans we can compassionately work towards a compromise that satisfies the needs and desires of all involved.

1. An end to colonialism, neo-colonialism, and mercantilism cloaked inside a supposedly free market approach to corporate capitalism.
2. Efficiency in our government.
3. An earnest push to right the wrongs being perpetrated on indigenous folk everywhere in the world today.
4. Acknowledgment of digital citizenship for those wishing to live on Earth but belong to extra-territorial nations. Treaties that would enable citizens to live anywhere they wish.
5. The creation of a strong, well educated, and well represented technical class, formerly working class, and acknowledging they are the rock stars of any economy,
6. The creation of a strong, well educated, and well represented business and entrepreneur class, formerly the middle class, and acknowledging their importance in innovation and large scale employment of members of the technical class.
7. The creation of a responsible corporate class that seeks risks and rewards merit, without exploitative and corrupt methods.
8. The dismantling of political and financial oligarchy and aristocracy.
9. Education that includes art, music, technical studies, historical studies, philosophy, sexual education, and if needed, proper gun education to create citizens who are responsible and well prepared to make life choices inside or outside of Asgardia.
10. A forward looking and risk taking science approach, while maintaining high safety standards.
11. The creation within two decades of a fleet of modular and high tech space vessels designed for exploration of the solar system. As well as the ground based and space based logistical needs.
12. While focusing on being good neighbors to every Earth nation, a focus on the nations of Africa is in order. A compassionate use of our science resources to help modernize without exploitation the people of Africa to whatever extent they wish. As well as helping them with their social and ecological issues. Africa and its people may well be the future of the human race and we should embrace that future now.

If elected I Will put my life experience and Political Science training to proper use for the people of Asgardia and the people of Earth.

Culture starts with people. People of all backgrounds come together to celebrate their differences. As an Asgadian myself, I will make sure to provide a sustainable solution to enhance and grow the economy of this nation by providing a fair and encouraging platform that enables everyone to participate. This platform will be a blueprint for future generations to create a life beyond boundaries. Culture will be the new frontier to express many different perspectives of life using music, art and technology. Lets bring everyone together and establish "a world without borders."

Our generation will give the leaders of tomorrow and that is why we will have to face the challenges of ensuring  security and peace in the future so that we will decide how the future will be shaped. I hope this campaign can be a first step for  becoming experts to identify solutions to humanitarian crises, implement smart solutions and to promote information to save lives and maintain peace.
