I wish to call into question the subtext of Asgardia as The Space "Kingdom". As we all should be aware, historically, a kingdom, refers to a wide variety of systems with a single, nominally absolute ruler. The term itself conjures not only benign rulers but also dictators bent on absolute power and employing all means of medieval war tactics and tortures to achieve their aim.
Therefore I suggest we look for a more peaceful term to compliment the peaceful nature of this endeavour. How about THE SPACE CIVILIZATION for its obvious civilizing philosophy or THE SPACE SPHERE to make the word more compact and encompass and include all nations.
Many thanks to Gary Tonge for his fantastic space-scape.
