Hello Fellow Asgardians  from the Moraine Ohio sector These are my Thoughts on  Checks and Balances ,They come in the form of vetting the HoS/PoA Picks and then Parliament/ Congress  doing the placements if they pass, plus not allowing the HoS/PoA from dissolving the Parliament/Congress. Parliament/ Congress makes the laws the HoS/ PoA ether has to pass it or veto it. If vetoed it should back and be re worked or the Parliament/Congress has 30 days to get a 2/3s vote to over turn the veto and pass the law after which the HoS/ PoA has to live with the decision or vice-a-verse. As far as departments, there's too many. They need to be paired down/ There should be three branches of government  Executive, Legislature,Justice The Asgardian Supreme Court is a stand alone just like in the states Judges are appointed by the HoS/ PoA ,but still have to be vetted by the Legislature . and the Court is only there to see that the government is following the laws and Constitution not making laws .  The departments under the  Executive HoS/ PoA should only be Defense,State department ,Intel ,Trade ,and  Treasury ( no national bank) Justice takes care of Civil courts and citizen safety ( not to include fire safety) This can be an off shoot of defense. The Legislature is the purse strings of it all

I oppose monarchical forms of organization for a number of reasons. 

Technically that's a violation of the basic principles of organization of complex systems – Ashby's law (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variety_(cybernetics)), since no leader can be highly competent in many issues (a disease not only of monarchies, but any quasimonarchies – strong presidential republic, etc.). However, in the stated activities of Asgardia, by definition, inevitable situation when strong leadership is needed.

I propose to consider the following model of dynamic leadership.

In addition to Ministries, Asgardia are related by the relevant Councils (Soviets) with the elected Leaders (formed in a first approximation according to the principles of competence and meritocracy). The difference is that the Ministry – appointed structures, carrying out routine activities, the Executive structures of the Councils, and the Councils – elected and strategic. In any the moment in the current situation, operational management (leadership) activity of Asgardia belongs to the Leader of the relevant Council, with the participation of members of the Council, but only within the framework of its competence, and limited time interval. He is the current Operator of Asgardia. 

So, in the event of fast threats such as collision with an asteroid body almost all the power to take the necessary measures sent the Leader of the Security Council. He has the authority to use all technical resources – but, for example, not impact on social or cultural sphere. After target solutions - eliminate the threat – he sends the credentials of the Operator to the Leader of another Council like the Council of Foreign Relations or the Council of Science. 

The model assumes action of Operators in the region of their maximum competence and reduce the likelihood of seizing power. I propose to develop the theme.

@rincoadeje
5. The second Chief of the Nation may be any Asgardian citizen of more than 40 years who has had the space citizenship for at least five years before being appointed, who has the physical and mental health to perform the functions of Head of State.

This if and only if the asgardian citizen is "nominated by Parliament and/or by Royal Council of Supreme Values" (Art. 32, pt. 8). Citizens can't choose by their own who candidate.
That apart, we won't have that "problem" 'till 2038. ;-)
Many things will happen, up to that point, and the king may also decide to write laws enough (which will be "adopted by Parliament") to avoid us to have that problem at all... so kind.

@rincoadeje
3. The Head of the Nation has a unique mandate of 10 years.

This seems to me far more interesting, in addiction to submit the renewal to Parliament only which, also, should be explicitly and fully entitled of the legislative power, giving the HoS the power of not signing the laws, but not "forever": after three times he must accept them.

Конституция Асгардии - это целевой документ нового государства, которое будет применяться для решения некоторых животрепещущих задач — в частности, защиты нашей планеты от внешних угроз 

1.  The constitution document needs EXTENSIVE rewriting.  It is embarrassing in its current form.
2.  If Asgardia is founded as a monarchy, constitutional monarchy, dictatorship, etc... then I do not wish to remain a citizen.  If Asgardia is being founded as a way for Igor to gain power and prestige, it is already doomed to fail.  Let's please take this seriously.

Очень хочется, чтобы Конституция Асгардии не была  вариацией на тему микронаций … 

**Mod Edit** English translation-I very much want the Constitution of Asgardia not to be a variation on the topic of micronation ... Zahira, 24-05-2017, 23:19 UTC

I agree with my fellow asgardians concerned with this "tax" buisniess. Not that I am trying to avoid taxes ,but if we don't need them, why have them? Perhaps this is something to look into and rethink? The rest of the constitution is great and exciting even! I just don think want asgardia to turn into one of those out of the frying pan into the fire scenarios. I have high hopes for asgardia! I'm sure we will find the solution. One humanity, one unity.

La monarquía FUE Una sorpresa Gran, mas no estoy en contra Por Que No me gustan los Partidos Políticos de la ONU Que provocan círculo vicioso de Poder y Corrupción. Pero TAMPOCO me gusta Que El Padre de la Nación y los jefes gocen de impunidad y al final de jefe de Alta Seguridad de Su Trabajo Como.La monarquía FUE Una sorpresa Gran, mas no estoy en contra Por Que No me gustan los Partidos Políticos de la ONU Que provocan círculo vicioso de Poder y Corrupción.

Muchos ESTÁN pensando Que El señor Igor Quiere Ser Rey.

Una Una constitución le hace falta aclaraciones y Detalles Sobre Procedimientos Legales.

Tiene la constitución Muchos Oyos Donde el Asgardians Puede Ser agredido por las Autoridades pecan Consecuencia f para Ellos.

he escrito en español, pero la pagina modifica algunas palabras y las hace Mayúsculas.

***MOD EDIT, English translation using Google Translate***

The monarchy WAS A great surprise, but I am not against Why I do not like the UN Political Parties That provoke vicious circle of Power and Corruption. But I ALSO LIKE That the Father of the Nation and the bosses enjoy impunity and at the end of High Security Boss of His Work. The monarchy WAS A great surprise, but I am not against Why I do not like the Political Parties of The UN That provoke vicious circle of Power and Corruption. But I ALSO LIKE That The Father of the Nation and the Chiefs enjoy impunity and the end of High Security Boss of His Job As.





Many are thinking that Mr. Igor wants to be King.

A constitution requires clarification and details of legal proceedings.



It has the constitution Many Oyos Where the Asgardians can be assaulted by the Authorities sin Consequence f for Them.

I have written in Spanish, but the page modifies some words and makes them capital letters.

A constitutional monarchy sounds good on principle but I see lots of issues on equality "we are all equal" but oh there's one person above all of you. I think a position that suggests authority but cooperation would a "Chancellor" and I could see it being a life-long term considering they start at 40 - 45 with a maximum age of 65 at starting the office to promote stability within the nation. The process of selecting a new Chancellor are agreeable as set expect for the hereditary aspect, a person should work for this position not simply born into it, the Chancellor may suggested a relative but this holds no sway and must complete the process as usual.

I like to think of Asgardia as a massive non-profit organization where we, the citizens, are board members and MPs are our proxys and the Chancellor would be our CEO seeing to the day to day actions and administrating the Ministries and representing us as an Nation and general governing but can have emergency powers in moments of crisis, for a set time, by Parliament. 

The Chancellor Issuing new laws that impact Asgardia as a whole can be issued but only with a referendum vote by the people in an massive voting occurance within a week's time. If the people vote 'no' to it, the Chancellor may change it to be more agreeable with everybody (or majority vote 66.6%). Parliament may make laws for Asgardia as a whole like business usual.

MPs having to be 50 years old is far reaching considering the majority are 18 - 40 years old. A good average age would be 30+. Enough life experience and still have young energy to get the job done. And for a maximum of 3 (5-year terms) and to proportional to numbers in ethnicity to promote diversity within Parliament rather than Nations. Bear in mind they represent all of Asgardia and not just Thier Region or chapter. 

And taxes seem fair but should by reflective of the people as a whole rather than a set percentage, obviously people who are struggling cannot pay at certain amount but think of it as a non-profit each citizen should give what they can. Whether it be $50 or $5,000 but everyone must contribute to help further Asgardia's development and sustainability. 

With all these notes I feel that the people would have a more meaningful role within Asgardia. 

Thanks for your time.

I repost my statement from the general group.

My suggestions, don't use compromised words of the old system  as Ministry/minister, King, Royal Council.

Too many overlapping ministries. 1) Ministry of administrative affairs and Ministry of citizenship are overlapping, citizenship is a part of administrative affairs.2) Ministry of finance, Ministry of Trade and commerce, Ministry of Equity and resources are overlapping. 3) Ministry of justice and Ministry of safety and security are very doubtful,  the people have FREE WILL and don't need another shepherd. it must be Ministry of defense against external force. The new society needs only ONE CONSTITUTION with ground rules. The only possible measures for a large constitutional break can be warning, public reprimand and exclusion from the society. Judges are not needed, it brings corruption, the people could decide any court process with a direct vote. Any national policy could be decided with a direct vote of the entire population. The ultimate freedoms must be guaranteed, the right of self-defense (POSSESSION OF WEAPONS), the right of sacrosanct private property (no banks, no loans, no interest, no writ of executions, no taxes. no fees, no oligarchy), diplomatic status for every citizen, absence of job's slavery, absence of poverty. Before the peacemakers begin to criticize, bear in mind The State has 3 elements – nation, public authority and territory. As only the territory is in the secured area in the space, the nation and the authority is on the earth in the hostile states. So everyone needs diplomatic status and legal right of defense (legal weapons). Because of the same reason lawenforcers and judges are not needed. About religious issues, the religion is not prohibited,  it is prohibited the religious extremism of any religion. Satanic and demonic cults are not allowed. Finally it is needed a Ministry of Alternative science without dogmas.
