Constitution of the state of the Republic of Indokistan (Indonesian: Konstitusi Negara Republik Indokistan) was the first Indokistani constitution. The drafting process was started in October 2011, its final version was ready in November, and its ratification took place in 11 November 2011. It was later amended once in January 2012.

The constitution was in use until the establishment of the Emergency Government of Indokistan in August 2012, which override the entire state structures and institutions and freeze the constitution. With the contents of the constitution was severely outdated in 2013, Indokistani government which at that time already reformed as the Federal State finally adopted a new constitution in January 2014, repealed the 2011 constitution.

The constitution manages citizens rights, governance, citizenship, and foreign relations. It was influenced by Los Bay Petros and Juclandian constitution during its making, while also reflecting the initially conservative nature of Indokistani society, compared to the 2014 constitution which was clearly more liberal.

History

For one year Indokistan runs without any written constitution, as politicians at that time does not sees that as an essential part of state functioning. It was until October 2011 when prime minister at that time Mustafa Hakim initiated the process to codify the state constitution, which receives presidential and public support. The discussion soon began and its final draft was ready in November 2011, when it was presented to the Parliament for review and revisions.

Responding on the draft, parliament members then initiated a public petition to review public support for the draft. The petition was received its first signature in early November 2011, and its number increasing and was completed just before 11 November 2011, when the last signature of Farhan Abbas was added. After the petition was presented to the parliament, the constitution draft was approved and ratified by parliament members in 11 November 2011 - which some considers it an auspicious date.

After ratification, Indokistani politicians began to spot several loopholes and mistakes on the national constitution, which needs immediate respond to revise those errors. In January 2012, with its final draft ready, it was immediately approved by parliament. Besides on revisions, the amendments also includes a deeper description on "head of state and government" clause and addition of foreign relations clause.
