Asgardia, the first-ever Space Nation, has announced its government structure on October 21st, 2016. The future Space Nation is to be governed by a council of 12 ministers, which will be appointed for the first few months, until the first elections in June 2017.

The Asgardian government is to be made up of twelve ministries, including Ministry of Science, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Space, Ministry of Youth and Education, Ministry of Integration, Ministry of Information and Communication, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Trade and Commerce, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Safety and Security, Ministry of Justice. The twelfth ministry is to be chosen from among those suggested by the Asgardia community on the nation's official Facebook page.

In just over a week, Asgardia, announced at an October 12 press conference by Dr. Igor Ashurbeyli, already has over 450,000 registered members of the community. Once enough people have expressed interest in obtaining Asgardian citizenship, Dr. Ashurbeyli plans on filing an appeal with the UN for official recognition of the first ever Space Nation. Since its inception, Asgardia has attracted quite a bit of attention, with unofficial off-shoot groups, forums, Youtube music videos and even epic poems written about it. Asgardia is still accepting registrations.
