History
The Declaration of Independence was signed on 4 May 2013, and the Constitution was later signed on 10 May. This was also the day that the President, Vice-President, and members of the National Parliament were elected.
After the People realized the flaws in the Constitution and the inability to amend it, a new Constitution was drafted, and ratified on 25 July 2013.

Legislature
The National Parliament holds the legislative power. There is one Member of Parliament for each municipality, elected by the resident citizens of that municipality, plus one who represents all unincorporated areas.
Bills can be introduced by a) the President, b) any member or group of members of the National Parliament, or c) a group of at least 3% of the population. If a bill gets a majority vote in the National Parliament, it goes to the President, who can either approve it or veto it.
