What hurdles does Asgard have to overcome in order to become the first "space nation?"
Post Body

There's obviously a lot of work that will need to be done before Asgardia can really become a recognized nation state. Here are a few things that need to happen:

  • Recognition by the UN - 100,000 individuals providing emails is the easy part. Convincing the world those same individuals should be treated as a sovereign nation will certainly be more difficult.

  • Establishing a governing body - Who will write the laws? Who will ratify them? Who will vote on them? How will citizens of Asgardia scattered around the globe contribute in a fair and secure manner?

  • Funding - Where will the money come from? Will there be taxes? If so, how will they be determined and collected?

  • Relocating - When will citizens of Asgardia actually get to move there? What about those of us who won't be able to due to medical or financial constraints? Will they have equal standing as citizens?

These are just a few of the questions I'd like to see answered. What else needs to be addressed?

Edit: Oops, Asgard =/= Asgardia
