HUGE Immigration-Related Issue ¶
Alright, so Asgardia is a space-faring nation, correct? Well, I've noticed a slight oversight that could cause huge issues later on.
At some point in Asgardia's history, we will most definitely run into beings that resemble human beings but are not actually "human" beings. I'm talking of course about extraterrestrial intelligence, or "ETI". Whether or not grey martians, Arcturians, Pleiaidians and other beings actually do exist or not is something we should leave to the Ministry of Science to discover. What we should not leave to them, however, is what Asgardia ought to do with non-human, sentient ETI we encounter who want to join our nation.
I have a few questions in this regard.
Are sentient "non-human" ETI eligible for Asgardian citizenship?
If so, how do we then accomodate ETI who might need a certain climate of living (e.g. extreme heat, extreme cold, living underground)?
How do we achieve and maintain peace between ETI and humans? Most people might feel threatened or afraid of non-human entities, and some Asgardians who are more religious might believe they're a "demon" or something like that. What do we do about that?
