Asgardians are now able to vote on the future of the Earth's first “space nation,” that includes selecting its constitution, flag, and national anthem.
Unity Day – June 18 according to the Gregorian calendar or Asgard 1, according to the Asgardian calendar – is the 24-hour period when registered citizens of the globe’s first space nation can electronically vote on the future of their country.
Asgardia, also famous as the Space Kingdom of Asgardia, is a proposal for a nation that was introduced on October 12, 2016.
The nation’s 214,255 citizens, who come from approximately 200 countries, will be voting on 5 different items: the country’s declaration, constitution, national flag, insignia, and national anthem.
Here are five things that all those who aren’t yet Asgardians should know about the wannabe recognized nation:

1. The beginning of now
Asgardia was first introduced in Paris on October 12, 2016 (or October 5 for Asgardians) by Russian scientist Igor Ashurbeyli, who guaranteed a “trans-national, trans-ethnic, community of people with the common goal of settling a human presence in space.”
While many people have been skeptical that Asgardia will become anything more than just a wacky blip in their Google search engine, recently, Ashurbeyli declared that the first satellite, Asgardia-1, will be launched into space by NASA this autumn.

2. Citizens
As it is proven, quite a few people would like to join the globe’s first trans-national, trans-ethnic space community. Approximately 200,000 people signed up to be Asgardians during the first forty hours of its birth.
As it was reported, the number increased to more than 500,000 but was lowered to a humble 200,000 after just “serious” candidates received citizenship.
While Ashurbeyli will be the leader of state for the first 5 years, a parliamentary election will select his successor after that, and verified Asgardians can begin making their way up the political ladder when the 1st round of elections starts on June 24.
In addition, citizens can make changes by petitioning any leader, “including the head of nation, and any branch of the Asgardian government.” 1,000 signatures are needed for a petition to be reviewed.

3. UN
Asgardia has plenty of legal issues to resolve before becoming a recognized nation.
As mentioned at its website, the space community is trying to “develop diplomatic relations with other Earth nations” to become recognized by the United Nations. Asgardia currently ranks 185th amidst the world’s nations by population size.
Will you be the next leader of #Asgardia? Nominate yourself or someone you know to be a candidate in our elections!

4. Asgardia’s future
The first Asgardia's satellite, Asgardia-1, from the NASA Wallops Flight Facility on Chincoteague Island, Virginia, will be launched this autumn.
The CubeSat satellite’s 512GB of storage can maintain enough personal info for up to 1.5 million Asgardians, who will be able to upload up to 300KB of data over the satellite’s lifetime, not to mention the nation’s constitution, flag, and various governmental data.
There are already plans for a second satellite's launch in 2018, with a final goal of eventually having a satellite huge enough to host millions of Asgardians in space.
“Asgardia-1 will mark the beginning of a new space era, taking our citizens into space in virtual form, at first,” said Ashurbeyli.

5. Asgard time
We can all probably agree that the Asgardian calendar makes a lot more sense than the one we are currently using.
The Asgardian calendar has 13 months of 28 days or exactly 4 weeks. That means that every year and month start on a Sunday. Also, the same date every year will always fall on the same day of the week. The extra month, Asgard, is in between June and July.
There are three holidays on the national calendar so far: 12/10, Asgardia’s Birthday; 31/12, Year Day; and 18/06, National Unity Day.

The superb work done by dr. wakina that brought back my husband encouraged me to wright this testimony, to motivate anybody out there fighting to sustain his or her relationship that there is still hope and ways to get back your lover because letting go will never heal a wounded heart, but finding the total cure does. I am happy woman today because of the right decisions and steps I took to fight for the man I wants to spend my entire life with and also the father of my child.
ReplyDeleteI had hope when I came across information and testimonies online by people writing on how their partner returned to them after a love spell from dr. wakina via his email dr.wakinalovetemple@gmail.com.
Before the love spell, I keep wondering how my husband moved from being a loving and caring father to a vile and nasty person overnight without reasons, unlike him. I searched myself to the ground and did not see the wrong I have done that made him pick up a bag of his cloths to his friends basement just five days to our eleventh anniversary without saying a word. I love him with every breath in me and I can do anything to make him love me gain. The testimonies and information I got about dr. wakina became my only hope after several failed attempt to get him back after he was gone for two weeks.
ReplyDeleteAfter being in relationship with him for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster Dr Oriafo that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the Dr Oriafo and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days my ex will come back begging. I thanked him in earnest hoping he will come back to me because I miss him so much.To my very surprise on the 3rd day he came back begging and asking me to accept him back and he will never leave me again. All this would never had been possible but for Dr Oriafo I will always and forever recommend you to the world Dr Oriafo This is his contact below: herbalsolutionhome@gmail.com or call +13103599685
It is unbelievable to have the first transnational space community in the world. There are many things to explore about this community
