The Citizen Intelligence Agency is a volunteer-driven, open-source intelligence (OSINT) project focusing on political activity in Sweden. By monitoring key political figures and institutions, the platform provides valuable insights into financial performance, risk metrics, and political trends. The dashboard features a ranking system, enabling users to objectively compare politicians based on performance. The initiative is independent and non-partisan, seeking to encourage informed decision-making, enhance transparency in governance, and cultivate an engaged and well-informed citizenry.

This project is powered by advanced AI technologies like OpenAI for data processing and analysis. We use AI to process and analyze a large amount of data from various open sources such as the Swedish Parliament, Swedish Election Authority, World Bank, and the Swedish National Financial Management Authority. The analyzed data is then represented visually through data visualization tools like Daigram.

Here's an updated README.md section with a link to the CloudFormation stack file and instructions on how to launch it in AWS:

The Citizen Intelligence Agency (CIA) project can be deployed on AWS using the provided CloudFormation stack file. This file is located in the cia-dist-cloudformation/src/main/resources/cia-dist-cloudformation.json folder.

You can find the CloudFormation stack file here.

To launch the CloudFormation stack, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your AWS Management Console.

2. Navigate to the CloudFormation service.

3. Click on Create stack.

4. In the Select Template section, choose Upload a template file and upload the cia-dist-cloudformation.json file.

5. Click Next.

6. Fill out the Stack name and any required parameters. The parameters are described in the CloudFormation stack file. Adjust them according to your requirements.

7. Click Next to configure stack options. You can add tags or configure advanced options as needed.

8. Click Next to review your stack settings. Make sure everything is set up as desired.

9. In the Capabilities section, check the boxes for the following options:

   • I acknowledge that AWS CloudFormation might create IAM resources.
   • I acknowledge that AWS CloudFormation might create IAM resources with custom names.

10. Click Create stack to start the stack creation process. AWS CloudFormation will create the required resources and deploy the CIA project.

11. Once the stack creation process is complete, you can access the application by navigating to the output URL provided in the CloudFormation stack Outputs tab.

This guide will walk you through installing the CIA project on Debian and Ubuntu 22.4+ systems.

1. Install OpenJDK and PostgreSQL:

$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-21-jdk postgresql-15 pgadmin3

2. Install PostgreSQL on Ubuntu:

$ sudo apt-get install postgresql-15 postgresql-contrib postgresql-15-pgaudit

3. Create an empty database:

Below instructions set the default username/password and database name used for development. We recommend using custom credentials and updating the configuration at /opt/cia/webapps/cia/WEB-INF/database.properties to define your own username/password and database name.

$ sudo su - postgres
$ psql
postgres=# CREATE USER eris WITH password 'discord';
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE cia_dev;
postgres=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE cia_dev to eris;

4. Enable prepared transactions and required extensions:

Edit /etc/postgresql/15/main/postgresql.conf and set:

max_prepared_transactions = 100

shared_preload_libraries = 'pg_stat_statements, pgaudit, pgcrypto'
pgaudit.log = ddl
pg_stat_statements.track = all
pg_stat_statements.max = 10000

5. Modify PostgreSQL settings:

Edit /etc/postgresql/15/main/pg_hba.conf and add the following line:

host all all ::1/128 md5

6. Restart PostgreSQL:

$ service postgresql restart

7. Download the CIA Debian package:
