The Politics

Since Bogor is adopting the democracy style, all citizens are eligible to take part in running the state.

The most direct participation is the election. The elections are held once in 5 years. In Bogor, there is two kind of elections: the Legislative and President.

Eligibility to Participate in Election
To be eligible to take part in the election, the citizen must be:


 * 1) a citizen of Bogor.
 * 2) an adult (over 18), and mentally healthy.
 * 3) not in the trial process.

although many citizens are eligible, the rate of participation is quite low (around 50%), because most are skeptical and believe that there is no major change will be brought by the candidates.

Legislative Election
Legislative Election purpose is to choose the member of the House of Representative. House of Representatives consists of member of political party. So in Legislative Election, the citizens choose their favoured political party.

To avoid a boom in Political party, the state limit the political parties number based on their ideals (i.e. There will never be two socialist party). So if a citizen want to form a new party, it must have different view, or else will be merged into one of the existing.

The current political parties which are eligible to contest in the election are:
 * 1) Bogor Democratic Party, who adopt capitalism as their ideals, win 33% chairs in the HoR
 * 2) Bogor Socialist Party, who adopt socialism as their ideals, win 35% chairs in the HoR
 * 3) Bogor Islamic Party, who adopt the Islamic values as their ideals, win 24% chairs in the HoR
 * 4) Bogor Environmentalist Party, who adopt the environmental values, win 8% chairsin the HoR

Presidential Election
After Legislative Election, the parties or coalitionsnin the new elected HoR proposed the candidates to run on the election. A party or a coalition must have at least 40% of the chairs to propose a candidate.

Alternatively, a non partisan candidates may register themselves to run as independent candidate. The independent candidate must have a warrant that at least 10% of the citizens are supporting them (proved by a sign of support)

If the number of candidates is more than two, then the election will run in two terms. In first term, the first two are selected for running the second term. Whoever win the most votes are elected as the president.

Forming the Government
The president then appoint ministers to responsible for certain issue on the state. It is a full rights of president, although most time, it consists of the member of political parties which supported the president on the election.

The president also appoint the Head of Judges which is run the Judicial Branch.
