After its independence was secured, Caracua's provisional government focused next on establishing a constitution for the state. The constituent parties of the revolution largely sought to restore the [[Algosh coup|pre-2009]] state of affairs, enshrining the constitutional sovereignty of the fourteen Great Nations within a federated republic. A constitutional convention was established in October of [[2023]] with both provisional government leaders and some ad hoc elected representatives included. The convention largely divided along the lines of the very nature of the Federation. A "Confederate" faction emerged, which functionally sought the restoration of the old [[Northern Confederation]] governmental structure with limited additional codification and streamlining, a system which would make Caracua a confederation. However, the predominating majority of the convention ended up supporting the "Federal" faction, which supported implementing the basis of the Northern Confederation's constitution but also strengthening the central government and regulating the constituent elements as symmetrical equals rather than asymmetrical neighbors. The new constitution was adopted by unanimous vote of the convention in February [[2024]], with the confederates having voted as a sign of national unity, and it took effect on 1 July [[2024]]. | After its independence was secured, Caracua's provisional government focused next on establishing a constitution for the state.

Caracua in the constitutional era has been heavily focused on growing its economy and military to ensure that it remains a peer power in [[Cusinaut]] and maintains control of its own destiny. Its leaders have been largely ambivalent relative to the major [[Occident]]al powers. Unlike [[Canespa]], it actively seeks to avoid confrontation and like [[Netansett]] it seeks global integration for its economy, but Caracuan leaders have established a number of tight controls over the economy to ensure that no single foreign interest or interests can establish a monopoly within economic sectors relative to indigenous competitors. The Caracuan government regularly imports advisors from non-[[Urcea]]n and non-[[Caphiria]]n Occidental countries to help develop a native urban and corporate sector. "Caracuanization", as observers have called it, appears to be the primary driving ideology of the Caracuan state as it enters the mid-21st century. In [[2034]], it joined the [[WCIGF]] and other elements of the [[Caroline treaty system]], limiting its imports but also providing new funding streams for modernization. In [[2035]], Caracua declined an offer to join the [[Nysdra Sea Treaty Association]], and officially declared itself a {{wp|neutral state}}. Despite its efforts to remain aloof, most Occidental observers have observed a continued (if light) [[Faneria]]n influence over the country dating back to Faneria's assistance in Caracuan independence. | Caracua in the constitutional era has been heavily focused on growing its economy and military to ensure that it remains a peer power in [[Cusinaut]] and maintains control of its own destiny.
