As of June, 2018, how many members does the Parliament of Asgardia currently have?

Three current and former British politicians have been elected as Members of Parliament for Asgardia, the first ever “space nation”.

Conservative MP Nigel Evans is joined by former Lib Dems Lembit Opik and Parmjit Singh Gill, along with eight other Britons in the new 147-seat parliament, which is tasked with representing the best interests of more than 200,000 Asgardian citizens from all over the world.

A pet project of Russian scientist and billionaire Igor Ashurbeyli, the Space Kingdom of Asgardia is the world’s first “virtual nation”, and has its very own constitution, flag, anthem, cryptocurrency and sovereign territory on the Asgardia-1 Satellite, currently in orbit around the Earth.

In his Asgardian election manifesto, Evans, who is the president of the parliamentary space committee, said that he would “be honoured to use [his] 30 years in professional politics to help Asgardia become a nation that lives up to the human potential which inspired it.”

He also committed to helping the Asgardian Parliament grow as “a political force for Asgardian legislation and policy-making.”

“As the United Kingdom leaves the European Union, the country is liberated to invest in a truly global space community,” he said. “Asgardia welcomes British citizens who share the dream of human opportunities in space for all countries, not just the privileged few who can afford a presence in space.”
