The Algosh Republic sits within the northern third of the [[Cusinaut]] peninsula on the northwestern coast of the [[Nysdra Sea]]. | The Algosh Republic sits within the northern third of the [[Cusinaut]] peninsula on the northwestern coast of the [[Nysdra Sea]]. It extends from the coast several hundred miles inland. Much of the country sits on highlands which characterize most of the northern half of Cusinaut, though the westernmost portion of the country slopes downward into the central riverlands and lake region of Cusinaut. As a consequence of its formation - based largely on ethinic lines rather than geographical features - much of the Republic's borders are unmoored from natural stop points and embrace open fields and bisect a small mountain ridge in the north, though the country's southern border does broadly, if imperfectly, follow the flow of the country's main river down to the [[New Harren]] border. Most of the Republic has cool summers and cold winters and is classified as having a {{wp|subarctic climate}}. | ||

The Algosh people were among the most important in an institution known as the [[Northern Confederation]], a polity which banded together many of the peoples of [[Cusinaut]] into a single defense and economic area. From the foundation of the Confederation, the martial tradition of the Algosh, as well as their relative demographic advantage compared to the other members of the Confederation, made the Algosh the de facto plurality member of the Confederation. By the 20th century, the Algosh made up a majority of the officer corps of the shared defense forces of the Confederation. This fact allowed the Algosh to dominate many of their neighbors beginning in the 18th century, as the Confederation tended to allow internal disruptions in order to prevent external (i.e. [[Occidental]]) domination. This came to complete fruition with the [[Algosh coup]] in [[2009]], whereby the non-Urcean occupied portions of the Confederation were effectively conquered by the Algosh and reformed into [[Algoquona]], an Algosh-run state which dominated the northern half of Cusinaut. Through a series of diplomatic and military actions, Algoquona was gradually reduced and then destroyed during the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. | The Algosh people were among the most important in an institution known as the [[Northern Confederation]], a polity which banded together many of the peoples of [[Cusinaut]] into a single defense and economic area.
