The majority of territory within the modern borders of the Republic were occupied by the end of summer [[2024]].

Throughout late 2024 and early 2025, the [[Urcea]]n [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] spread out throughout the country, occupying key garrisons and taking stock of available resources and existing infrastructure. During this period, the [[Government_of_Urcea#Overseas_Possessions|Military Rectory]] of Kaigwa was established as the military government of the region. [[Martin St. Clair]], as theater commander, served as nominal Military Rector but delegated authority to his Deputy Rector, Pra. Sen. Cormac Bruno of the [[Royal Marine Corps (Urcea)|Royal Marine Corps]]. Bruno's government focused on the indexing of available resources of the state and enhanced local efforts at surveying existing physical and institutional infrastructure. On 18 October [[2024]], the [[Ministry_of_State_(Urcea)#Department_of_National_and_Institutional_Development|DNID]] established headquarters in Kaigwa. The DNID began efforts to liaise with local officials about reeducation efforts as well as investments in the rebuilding economy. As part of that effort, [[Ministry_of_Commerce_(Urcea)#Agency_for_Cronan_Economic_Development|ACED]] planted its headquarters on 1 November [[2024]] and began to distribute loans both to private citizens and provisional local governments to facilitate rebuilding the state. On 3 January [[2025]], Bruno appointed Jala-meni, a prominent reform activist, as head of a commission of Algosh civilian advisors. This commission, the Commission on Public Affairs of the Algosh State (CPAAS), represented the first body of Algosh civilians in a public role in the transition period, albeit in an advisory capacity. | Throughout late 2024 and early 2025, the [[Urcea]]n [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] spread out throughout the country, occupying key garrisons and taking stock of available resources and existing infrastructure.

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.

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.

The Algosh Republic transitioned from using the [[wísdat]] - the transitional currency of the [[Northern Confederation]] and then [[Algoquona]] - to the [[taler]]. Both currencies were used in tandem between [[2025]] and [[2030]] in the territory. During this time, the Urcean government funded a program to offer the taler at an exchange rate of one taler to twenty wísdats, a rate far above the actual exchange values of the currency. This program was largely successful in ensuring wide adoption of the taler, but also led to a period of international speculation on the wísdat between [[2027]] and [[2029]], during which time some intermediaries in the Algosh Republic took advantage of the program to the benefit of their patrons. | |||
