VTV.vn - The "Space Kingdom of Asgardia" inaugurated its first head of state on June 25 in a ceremony at the Hofburg palace in Vienna.

Its founding father is Russian-Azerbaijani scientist, Igor Ashurbeyli. Ashurbeyli was elected in January 2017 to a five-year term. Asgardia has successfully launched its first satellite into space. It now has nearly 200,000 registered citizens. Ashurbeyli said that once the government is formed, it will seek "diplomatic solutions" to establish ties with countries on the earth and eventually apply for United Nations membership.

Named after a mythical kingdom of Norse gods, Asgardia claims the status of the first space nation - a global humanitarian project for everyone on the planet.
