"We have established all branches of a nation," Ashurbeyli said in a speech at the ceremony. "I can declare that Asgardia has been born."

阿舒尔贝利在就职典礼上发表演讲说：“我们已经成立了一国应有的各类机构。我宣布阿斯加迪亚正式成立。”

Asgardia—named after Asgard, a sky city in Norse mythology which was said to house the gods—was founded by Ashurbeyli and several prominent space experts in October 2016. The aim of the project is to “create a free independent nation outside of planet Earth” with “equal access to space for all people regardless of the country of origin, nationality, location, age, gender, sex, race, etc.”

阿斯加迪亚这个名字源自挪威神话中的天空之城阿斯加德，据说那里是众神的聚居地。该项目由阿舒尔贝利和几位著名航空专家于2016年10月筹建。项目宗旨就是“在地球之外创建一个自由独立的国家，不论国籍、民族、地理位置、年龄、性别、性特征、种族等因素，人们都能进入其中”。

Currently, the international Outer Space Treaty requires governments to authorize and supervise all space activities, including those of commercial and non-profit organizations. The founders of Asgardia hope to avoid the tight restrictions that this system imposes.

目前，国际《外层空间条约》规定由各国政府授权并监督所有外层空间活动，包括商业和非营利组织的活动。阿斯加迪亚的缔造者希望避开这套制度的严格规定。
