POLITICAL SYSTEM

Genesis City is ruled by a republican system of government, with parties that run for office in the city. We have a mayor, representatives, and other positions. The incumbent at the mayor’s office.

Genesis City has now 4 main political parties officially registered, and they have different degrees of influence in the city’s life. They have often alternated in power, but after the Alliance, 2 parties arose as the most popular in town: the Unit and the Foundation parties.

**Old Foundation Party**

Old-fashioned party, its official name is only The Foundation Party, but because they didn’t support the Alliance back in the day, people started to call them The “Old” Foundation Party. Before the war, the Foundation Party ruled with no meaningful opposition for almost 70 years. They spoke mostly to traditional sectors in Gen City only, and the regular people were left aside in the city development for a long period. Indeed they opposed the Alliance because Kato’s idea would include popular demands. They supported the supers who wanted to rule over Gen City as they would continue to be the only party in that new government.

After Kato won the war, and the military group that was his ally took over power, the Foundation was kicked out, however, they never ceased their activities, and ran for office several times. Recently they got some important positions in office, and some political analysts see this as a result of the uncertain state people are feeling nowadays.

**The Unit Party**

For years, they represented the only opposition against the Foundation, but they never got the power to beat them in elections (which always carried the suspicious vibe of fraud in it btw).

They had different kinds of politicians, who were not entirely good, but believed that more interests should be fulfilled by Genesis politics, not only the elite’s will. When the war started, first they supported the rival group of supers who antagonized the one supported by the Foundation party, but one of their leaders, Benny Coole (a bird) saw in the young Kato and his ideals the opportunity to gain popularity on the streets. So he managed for the party to support the rival group publicly, but behind the curtains, they helped Kato in some actions with supplies and spread the message through the party’s means of distribution. Gradually, they withdrew their support from the rival group and became closer to Kato, especially when victory seemed to be certain on his side. After the war was over, the Unit became the main political party in Genesis City, and they indeed brought a lot of social improvement, but some strains between the party and the league started to appear. When the party called Kato to form the new government as the new mayor in G.C. and he refused, some sectors in the party didn’t like it because it meant that Kato would represent a different power force, and they, as the Foundation party, wanted to be the only ones to rule. Over the years, the party became more and more corrupt, dealing with business people more than regular people, and forgot some areas in Genesis City, such as the DeGen Alley area and Up Roar. The party continues to try to decrease the importance of the league, yet they need them to protect their interests.

**Ape Party**

A minor party, they have some ran and won for office, but they don’t have the power or influence of the Foundation or the Unit. People say they are the parallel Unit, and they need a revolution to gain popularity, as the Unit did back in the day. Perhaps, they are secretly cheering for things to get worse...

**Rump Party**

A party majorly made of bulls, they represent mostly their interest. They plead Gen City should have more fields, and invest more in agriculture, where bulls are better, among other things. People often call them the nature party.

There are, though, new emerging parties in Genesis City, which are considered to steal the spot from the main parties inthea near future.
