History
In January of 2007, the National Governing Assembly unanimously approved a measure banding the fourteen provinces of the Jakarta Confederate together under a single national banner. The matter was sent to each province for its ratification. The popular vote process required a positive result in each province. The measure passed each province with a fairly comfortable margin, with Hereford showing the most support (81% in favor) to Bahan'in showing the least (57%). Upon ratification, the Constitutional Unification Pact became the ruling document of the land.
Since its unification, Jakarta-Banin joined the United Nations. Otherwise, it has been relatively dormant on the foreign front.
2007 elections (unification)
Under the provisions of the Constitutional Unification Pact, all citizens of Jakarta-Banin 16 or older are allowed one vote to popularly elect a President and members of the National Governing Assembly (six per province). Elections held in 2007 were relatively peaceful (despite fears that violence would spread in Islamic districts) but international organizations ruled the balloting to be "of somewhat concern due to anti-muslim sentiments in the national community" and expressed dismay at the low national turnout.
President Samuel Wells, popular unification delegate, was widely favored to lead his party, the Democratic Christian Alliance, to victory in the Presidential race. His major opponents were Republican University candidate Max Baker and Islamic Political Council candidate Ha'lil Segurin. Campaign tactics were marred by accusations of anti-muslim bigotry on behalf of the other two major party candidates and voter registration fraud.
- Governor Samuel Wells (DCA-Christmas City): 1,544,525 (58%)
- Governor Max Baker (RU-Avon): 980,343 (37%)
