Economists have noted that it projects to have moderately strong growth in the future, both due to the effects of liberalization on the economy as well as the potential for major economic reconstruction and restructuring due to the lasting devastation of war on the country. The Algosh Republic has been subject to signficant foreign aid and development schemes employing the [[improvement economy]] model, using funds from both the Urcean [[Ministry_of_Commerce_(Urcea)#Agency_for_Cronan_Economic_Development|Agency for Cronan Economic Development]] as well as private investment. The Algosh Republic, due its population and relative state of urbanization, has been a major source of foreign private capital investment, and many international investors and analysts are bullish on the possibility of the Republic being the "next [[Quetzenkel#Economy|Quetzenkel]]" in terms of being a major Cronan development success story. Despite this positive outlook, the Algosh Republic is still a very poor country as of the early-mid 2030s, with a GDP PC of $6,182 entering the decade. Unlike other countries being made subject to the improvement economy, the Republic had a relatively strong pre-existent network of roads, bridges, and railways in the immediate vicinity of Kaigwa, and so economists believe the economic growth to come will be more concentrated in outlying cities rather than the current economic heart of the country, and that benefits will primarily come from the creation of a new middle and upper class rather than the direct improvement economy benefit of urbanization. This extant transportation system and degree of urbanization has significant benefits for the Republic's outlook, however, as foreign firms are already opening locations in Kaigwa rather than prospectively waiting for project completions, and a small urban middle class already exists that governs the Republic and can participate in the amenity-serivce economy. The outflow of young men, particularly those of working age, has proved a challenge towards the Republic's economic reconstruction, but it has also created economic conditions necessary for women to enter the workforce; this trend has improved the Republic's attractiveness to foreign capital, as it functionally represents a check on social backsliding and makes the Republic a more stable investment opportunity in the long-term according to foreign investors. | ||

As a result of the [[Final War of the Deluge]], the Algosh people are effectively disarmed under the terms of the establishment of the republic. Accordingly, the nation is primarily defended by the [[Urcea]]n [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] and [[Royal Air Force (Urcea)|Royal Air Force]]. A limited exception to this comes in the form of the Republic's participation within the [[Nysdra Sea Guard]], which employs many former enlisted and officers who were previously members of the small, but professional, [[Algoquona#Navy|navy of Algoquona]]. | As a result of the [[Final War of the Deluge]], the Algosh people are effectively disarmed under the terms of the establishment of the republic.
