A culture where the first requirement of eligibility for office is that you must not be a citizen, nor have even ever set foot in the country in which you are running for office. The more cultural ignorance, the better, as a fresh perspective on problems is highly prized. In fact, sometimes people are randomly nominated and win without even being aware that there is an election or that they are a candidate. Governing/legislating in absentia is allowed if the elected representative does not feel like moving to the country in question (assuming they agree to accept the position, although it's also possible that ignoring emails, phone calls, etc, might be seen as tacit approval - i.e. "We've tried to contact him several times asking if we should ban all firearms and he hasn't responded so ... he didn't say 'no' ... we'll just assume he votes 'yes'.")
EDIT: Aaaaand - at birth you are assigned one of the 7 colors of the "Roy G Biv" spectrum according to a random algorithm. That plus your Chinese zodiac animal are the political party you belong to (Green Rooster Party, Yellow Monkey Party, etc.). You can never change it. However, the party policies are constantly changing as new, random individuals come of age. Every year, there is a convention for each group, and they have to decide on which policies to pursue for the coming year (and then, of course, you have to try and find candidates who you feel will support those policies, according to the rules above). Of course, the parties are on the small side, so the only way to get anything done is to form a coalition with several other parties.
