I suppose in a sort of realpolitik sense, in order to recognized such a "nation" would need to have appreciable geopolitical impact. Impact means resources, and having resources, for a state without natural resources, means collecting taxes. So, the question is, would these wannabe Asguardians pay? Recognition (and space sovereignty issues) aside, a "virtual state" like this could be useful! For instance- Suppose such a state with fairly open "immigration," that collected income taxes and put that money into a central bank and a welfare program. Attract a sufficient affluent population with ethical appeal and favorable banking, and you can provide a little shadow-socialist support structure.
