Scientists and astronomers have revealed plans to set up a new nation in space called Asgardia.

Anyone can apply to be a citizen in the cosmic country, which will be based around one or more satellites orbiting the Earth.

Proposed by Dr Igor Ashurbeyli of the Aerospace International Research Center, the project was started as a way of exploring whether it's possible to create a country in orbit.

And if the idea of living in space interests you, you can apply to become a citizen via their website.
