The 2030 election was the first free and fair election for government officials in the history of the Algosh people and was observed by multiple international organizations and foreign countries. As per the Hierarchical Canon, all 263 seats of the National Assembly as well as the local legislatures of all ten Captaincies were on the ballot. The Algosh Rebirth League won a majority in the National Assembly, majorities in all ten Captaincies, and the office of Hierarch of the Treasury. The Rebirth League, consequently, continued the Algosh Republic on the path of social reform and nation-building began by the provisional government. All ten members of the provisional government were elected as Rebirth League members of the Assembly, while its chair Jala-meni retained power, now as Chancellor and Majority Leader of the National Assembly. | The 2030 election was the first free and fair election for government officials in the history of the Algosh people and was observed by multiple international organizations and foreign countries.

An ally of Jala-meni named Paka-antini was elected Hierarch of the Treasury, ensuring that Jala-meni remained at the center of Algosh political life. A political newcomer named Fel-ajani, a former military officer with some reform-leanings, was elected National Hierarch with the regnal name of Fel-ajani I. | ||
The 2030s were a time of continued social upheaval in the Republic due to the impacts of disarmament on the Algosh worldview and the growth of out-migration of both war veterans and young men. It also continued the trend of women entering Algosh public life, the rise of new men within urban cores, and the continued economic growth resulting from the [[improvement economy]]. | The 2030s were a time of continued social upheaval in the Republic due to the impacts of disarmament on the Algosh worldview and the growth of out-migration of both war veterans and young men. It also continued the trend of women entering Algosh public life, the rise of new men within urban cores, and the continued economic growth resulting from the [[improvement economy]]. Politically, it has been characterized as a period of normalization inasmuch as the elected government is increasingly being viewed as the expected norm rather than a foreign imposition. The National Hierarch Fel-ajani I and Chancellor Jala-meni have had a largely ambivalent relationship, with the National Hierarch serving as something of a traditionalist check on the Jala-meni's otherwise unchallenged control of the government and the Captaincies. | ||

The National Assembly is the national unicameral legislature of the Algosh Republic. Its 263 members are elected from 200 districts apportioned once per decade between the nation's 10 captaincies, with 63 remaining members elected at-large. Its elections are held every five years in years beginning in "0" and "5". It holds authority over all matters of law and all treaties, and it cannot be dissolved. | The National Assembly is the national unicameral legislature of the Algosh Republic.

The leader of the Assembly is the Chancellor and Assembly Majority Leader, who holds both a political role within the Assembly and an administrative role within the national treasury, functionally making the Chancellor the {{wp|head of government}}. The Chancellor, on behalf of the Assembly, is responsible for appointing members of the national cabinet. Although the cabinet is compelled to take direction from the Hierarch of the Treasury, they are nonetheless responsible to the Chancellor. | The leader of the Assembly is the Chancellor and Assembly Majority Leader, who holds both a political role within the Assembly and an administrative role within the national treasury, functionally making the Chancellor the {{wp|head of government}}.

The Algosh culture is undergoing significant changes as a result of the end of [[Algoquona]] and its traditional role over north-central [[Cusinaut]], traditionally dominating smaller groups of people and greatly emphasizing their martial character. Within Algosh culture itself, scholars, politicians, and celebrities alike are reportedly trying to find what it means to be "Algosh alone" - that is, a distinct people without reference to external martial or geopolitical characteristics. This martial character was not just external facing related to peripheral peoples in peripheral territories, but rather a deep sense of self within Algosh society. Traditionally, the Algosh martial spirit was not only reflected in its outward domination but also in its internal social organization and individual worldview and outlook. Martial achievement dominated most facets of pre-2024 Algosh life. Between the development of the Algosh administrative state in the early 20th century and [[2024]], every person (man, woman, or child) within Algosh society was regimented, meaning that every person was assigned a nominal unit to which they belonged; not only was this an administrative distinction which had a practical side in the event of conscription or the formation of militias, but it also created social groups based on expected shared military experiences. It also created a natural hierarchy within society wherein "unit" superiors were respected and deferred to, and on top of which the political Hierarchs had significant local control within the old [[Algoquona]]n political system. Social regimentation was abolished in [[2027]], weakening the ties between people within the country. Additionally, being part of the armed forces and serving in some capacity - be it in frontier tribal control or actual military combat - was a critical part of the {{wp|coming of age}} process of young men in Algoquona, creating what has become a "lost generation" for young men in their teenaged years during the late 2020s. This alienation, resulting from both disarmament and the liberalization of Algosh society, has not only caused resentment but clinically measured mass disillusionment. In response to the overwhelming cultural shock inaugurated by disarmament, the government of the Republic has spent considerable amounts of both time and capital into cultural awareness and revival organizations as part of an overall scheme of {{wp|Nation-building|nation-building}}. Many Occidental scholars have noted the relative unique position of a centuries-old people requiring state-funded nation-building, and believe that it speaks to the significant place that martial domination of others had in pre-republican Algosh culture. | The Algosh culture is undergoing significant changes as a result of the end of [[Algoquona]] and its traditional role over north-central [[Cusinaut]], traditionally dominating smaller groups of people and greatly emphasizing their martial character.

In the place of the Algoquona-era social regimentation, some other traditional martial-adjacent social groupings have been reintroduced or reemphasized by the government in order to create alternative social groupings in the very group-and-hierarchy oriented Algosh society. The most famous of these are the "old brotherhoods" or ''ala'osayenya' h''. The old brotherhoods are established lineages of descendants who fought in famous battles in Algosh history, with lists of famous battles determined by a general organic sense of society. Many of these battles were historic events which occurred prior to the formation of the [[Northern Confederation]], two were in the 18th and 19th centuries, and the majority of the remainder are considered by Occidental historians to be mythical events with a possible basis in real history. In any case, the old brotherhoods form a type of soft clan structure whereby social interactions are encouraged within the brotherhoods but not necessarily excluded from outside them. Additionally, most of the old brotherhoods have specific festivals commemorating their particular remembered battle, which includes parades, reenactments, retellings, and other similar events. The old brotherhoods became less fashionable following the regimentation of society but have become favored by the Algosh Republican government as a replacement for the regimental institutions. | In the place of the Algoquona-era social regimentation, some other traditional martial-adjacent social groupings have been reintroduced or reemphasized by the government in order to create alternative social groupings in the very group-and-hierarchy oriented Algosh society.

The Algosh Republic's economy is considered {{wp|developing economy|developing}}. 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 (the "New Men") already exists that governs the Republic and can participate in the amenity- | [[File:CBD Cranes.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Urban cranes, a common symbol of the [[improvement economy]], are frequent sights in Kaigwa as the city is a major growth destination as a result of its preexisting infrastructure.]] | ||

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. | |||
Besides its developing urban and industrial economy, the Algosh Republic has robust agricultural and mining sectors. In agriculture, the country grows predominantly {{wp|maize}} and {{wp|potato}}es, as is the case in most of the rest of [[Cusinaut]]. In mining, the Algosh Republic is a major source of {{wp|nickel}}. Prior to [[2024]], the nickel mines were owned by the state and the country's mining industry was characterized as being plagued with inefficiency, waste, fraud, and generally being outdated. Significant foreign investments since the establishment of the Republic have revolutionized the now private nickel mining sector, and nickel output has increased twofold between [[2015]] and [[2035]]. Many economists project that the Republic will become a leading country in nickel mining by [[2050]] or [[2060]]. Besides nickel, trace quantities of {{wp|uranium}} ore have been discovered in the country, joining other Cusinaut countries in being viable for uranium mining, but specialization in nickel - combined with plentiful ore and beneficial economic conditions in neighboring [[New Harren]] - have generally led to low interest in uranium mining within the Republic. | Besides its developing urban and industrial economy, the Algosh Republic has robust agricultural and mining sectors.
