The Algosh Republic is a country in Cusinaut. The Algosh Republic was formed from the ethnic Algosh heartlands of the former Hierarchy of Algoquona, excluding many of the periphery tribes and ethnic groups who became independent following the Final War of the Deluge.
The Algosh Republic is a member of the Nysdra Sea Treaty Association.
Geography
The Algosh Republic sits within the northern third of the Cusinaut peninsula on the northwestern coast of the Nysdra Sea.
History
Pre-Republican history
Occupation
The occupation of former Algoquona began piecemeal, as several Hierarchs obstinately held out even after the surrender of the central government. The majority of territory within the modern borders of the Republic were occupied by the end of summer 2024. The areas partitioned under the post-war settlement were largely pacified by this time, though some Algosh commands in Ashkenang continued a low level insurgency through early 2025.
Throughout late 2024 and early 2025, the Urcean 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 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. 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 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, 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.
On 10 Feburary 2025, DNID and CPAAS began the long process of constructing the basic framework of a new Algosh state. These talks concluded with an agreement between both parties to begin elections for a constitutional convention, but the agreement also stated that such elections and convention could not be held until 2026 "at the earliest".
Establishment of Republic
Government
The Algosh Republic, as its name would suggest, is a federal republic employing a basic Urcean-style republican system, with a head of state, a chief executive, and a legislative head of government. Many of the titles and honors included within these republican roles - especially National Hierarch and Hierarch of the Treasury - are modeled after the traditional titles and honors of the military rulers of Algoquona, also called hierarchs, but are instead chosen by election. The nation is governed under the Hierarchical Canon of 2027, which serves as the nation's constitution. It reflects the basic separation of powers implicit within the Government of Urcea and includes a bill of rights modeled after the Great Bull of 1811. Elections in the Algosh Republic occur on years beginning with "0" and "5". The first election was held in 2030.
The Hierarchs
Within the Algosh constitution, there are two Hierarchs - the National Hierarch, who serves as head of state and symbol of continuity of the Algosh people, and the Hierarch of the Treasury, the chief executive largely responsible for the day-to-day administration of the state. In the context of a Urcean-style republican system, the National Hierarch's role was inspired by that of the Apostolic King of Urcea, whereas the Hierarch of the Treasury was inspired by the role of the Procurator in Urcea.
The National Hierarch is elected a single fifteen year term and uses regnal names and numbering, with the name of the Hierarch serving as the regnal era of the Algosh calendar. The role of the National Hierarch is somewhat limited and serves as a symbolic embodiment of the constitution, but the role does have the authority to appoint both the nation's foreign ambassadors as well as judges. The National Hierarch has a suspensive veto, but this authority can only be used to delay consideration of a measure by the Assembly for six months, and cannot be used more than once on a specific legislative initiative during any term of the Assembly. The National Hierarch is prohibited from having any role in the Algosh military due to the legacy of the Algosh coup, though the nation's disarmed status makes this distinction largely nominal. The office of National Hierarch is non-partisan, and candidates running for it are prohibited by law from being associated with any political party.
The Hierarch of the Treasury is elected nationally to five year terms with no term limit. The office serves as chief executive and directs the affairs of the government through the role's authority as head of the national treasury. Accordingly, all cabinet officials take direction from the Hierarch of the Treasury. The office functionally oversees the daily affairs of the Republic, serves as the commander-in-chief of the nation's nominal armed forces, and can propose budgets and legislation directly to the National Assembly. The Hierarch also oversees the nation's foreign policy in conjunction with the National Hierarch, as the latter is responsible for appointing the nation's ambassadors and diplomats.
National Assembly
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 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 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.
Captaincies
The Captaincy is the basic federal unit of the Republic, replacing the hierarches of Algoquona.

Linguistic Demographics
The Algosh language is spoken by nearly every resident of the Algosh Republic and is the native language of the Algosh people.
Religious Demographics
Economy
The Algosh Republic's economy is considered 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.
Military
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 Urcean Royal and Imperial Army and 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, navy of Algoquona.
