Working Thread - Compilation of Community Suggestions for the Constitution Draft  

Hello Asgardians!

The new Constitution Draft is online and we are working on compiling your suggestions into a document. We have some volunteers willing to help out who have helped with this sort of task in past. However, if you'd like to help out, please send an email to volunteers@asgardia.space to let us know. We will work with you to add you to the team.

Please note: The compilation must be done quickly and efficiently so please make sure you have time to help out.

Here is the link to the working document:

This is a view only link, only volunteers on the compilation team have edit access.

Kind regards,

Rebekah Berg

What is the deadline for taking all public comments on this draft?

Seems that we have very little time to collect/compile/review for a new draft/final Constitution prior to the vote.

It is my understanding that the Constitution was drafted based on the suggestions of the members who applied for citizenship.

According to the draft of the Constitution, Asgardia will be a Constitutional Monarchy where a King or Queen is appointed as ruler over the country and a successor is named. If this is the case, the citizens are left out of the decision-making process of picking who has the best credentials of running the country. There are no checks and balances. 

In order for the people to be protected the country must be a federation or a republic and system of checks and balances must be implemented. We must have democratic elections or Asgardia will never work.

Who is responsible drafting together the current version of this constitution?

Thank you,


Melanie Young

"Who is responsible drafting together the current version of this constitution?"

A legal team specialised for this very purpose. However the identity of its members is not disclosed to us constitution volunteers. 

"In order for the people to be protected the country must be a federation or a republic and system of checks and balances must be implemented. We must have democratic elections or Asgardia will never work."

This thread is not the appropriate place to express critique of the Constitution draft, I would invite you to express your concerns in this thread instead: https://asgardia.space/en/forum/forum/constitution-132/topic/discussion-of-the-draft-constitution-5379/

However, your concern is much appreciated, and in fact already largely echoed by a great number of people, and has already been included in our document. You might be interested in checking out our document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ReEBGtMdlKgd0DA3_2Zg6evAFGwr-T7axBg37Fx6JzE/edit?usp=sharing (scroll all the way down to the "consensus" part).

modification of the chapter 4

Asgadia currency its the asgard

Asgardian currency is freely exchangeable into all of the global currencies on the free market on Earth an the universe. This can be presented in two denominations in physical form (paper money) and in the form of digital currency, including any form of crytocurrency

Asgardia's National Bank is responsible for the exchange rate, issue and circulation of finance, stability of the sovereign currency and bank system liquidity of the different denominations of currency. Asgardia's National Bank is regulated by the law of Asgardia. Decisions about the form and characteristics of paper money is at the discretion of the head of state ( igor may decide which form will have our paper currency included in which symbols and faces to place in it)

The integrity, stability and value of the denominations of the currency will be in the hands of Asgardia's National Bank and the government will be responsible for the maintenance, costs and infrastructure of the currency both on planet earth and in any territory of the space under the juridisccion of asgardia And try to maintain a unified currency with all present and future territories that are under the jurisdiction of asgardia any violation of any denomination of the currency should be declared as a matter of national security

(This is catalytic, if lena creates a crytocurency, the maintenance and infrastructure will be in the hands of Asgardia's National Bank is to say all those who create this will have a site like Asgardians and give  us the source code, in case of one of the creators of the cureency introduces vulnerabilities the Asgardia's National Bank must have the necessary tools to avoid a financial collapse to all the asgardia in the whole earth and the galaxies that are under the jurisdiction of asgardia
