The collapsing Northern Confederation could not agree on a course of action in the [[War of the Northern Confederation]] against the intervention of [[Urcea]] in the internal affairs of the Confederation. Without Confederate sanction, the [[List of peoples of Cusinaut#A-D|Algosh]] lead military action against Urcea, leading a smaller coalition of Confederation members from north and west of the conflict area. While Algosh forces fought against the Urceans, the Confederation's essential dissolution into non-functioning paved the way for the diplomatic protections that smaller Confederation members enjoyed to also dissolve. Citing wartime necessity and the need for a unified front, the Algosh invaded most of the Confederation's members with a handful of non-Algosh allies, who were organized as the first autonomous chiefs of [[Algoquona]]. All four of the constituent members of what would become the Republic - the Honeoye, the Gowandis, the Canandaigua, and the Saranac - had been neutral in the war with [[Urcea]], but had provided the Algosh the ability to pass through their territory on the way to the conflict. All four members resisted the Algosh invasion but due to the superior forces of the Algosh, as well as their familiarity with the four peoples' territories and position of troops already inside their territories, each of the four quickly fell in succession. They were reorganized as [[Algoquona#Chiefdoms|chiefdoms]] within the Algoquonan system. [[the Cape|The Cape]] and many Occidental nations, especially [[Carna]], objected, but most recognized the annexation as a ''fait accompli''. The conquests were recognized by [[Urcea]] in the [[Treaty of Narasseta]] which formally ended the War of the Northern Confederation.

The four peoples began immediate, low-level resistance to Algosh domination. The various resistance efforts were never numerous nor well organized enough to present a serious threat to [[Algoquona]], with the most serious incidents being minor ambushes by guerilla forces on military caravans. The destruction of most of the professional Algoquonan military in 2017's [[Operation Western Blizzard]] lead to bands of guerillas seizing many villages and large segments of territory but failing to organize or seize major cities. The conflicts between Algoquona and the Occident between 2016 and 2017 had the effect of abrogating the [[Treaty of Narasseta]], giving guerillas and locals access to Occidental weapons and supplies. Unfortunately for resistance efforts, Algoquona made pacifying the region their top priority following the conflicts with the Occident. Newly conscripted forces, as well as tribal militias from Algoquona's western subjects, launched a major offensive into the four peoples' territories. The area was classified as an "ongoing warzone" by the [[League of Nations]] in 2018-19, with the Algosh ultimately triumphing and reestablishing control of the entire territory by August 2019. Settlement efforts by Algosh colonists intensified following the conclusion of the conflict. Large numbers of guerrillas and militiamen were captured by the Algosh but, due to their lack of military resources because of [[Operation Western Blizzard]], these men were mostly conscripted into the Algoquonan military for service against the Occident. Put under the command of Algosh commandants, these forces made up a large segment of the new Southern Army, training on the border with New Yustona. Leaders among the Algosh believed that the conscripted forces could not be used against other peoples of [[Cusinaut]], but would be dependable fighting against Occidental encroachment.

Unlike many other groupings of peoples to become independent of [[Algoquona]], the four constituent groups of the Nysdra Provisional Republic shared little in common (besides a distant relation between the Gowandis and Canandaguia) besides their shared antipathy of the Algosh and origin within the Northern Confederation. Accordingly, each of the four peoples had largely different cultural mores and traditions. Additionally, the four peoples within the Republic had very little economic integration with one another prior to the establishment of the Republic's independence, although wartime necessity began to create bonds of economic interdependence between the four tribes and with [[New Yustona]] for the provision of basic goods as well as for the logistical support of the [[Royal and Confederate Army (New Yustona)|Royal and Confederate Army]]. The natural give-and-take relationship of neighbors resulted in several major disagreements between the four peoples over the course of the Republic's existence. These disagreements lead to major delays of the Royal and Confederate Army's prosecution of the war as it had to play the role of mediator in several would-be conflicts. The worst confrontation took place in October of 2023 as a Gowandis hunting party was shot and killed by Honeoye landowners, citing encroachment and poaching. The event nearly lead to war before the Royal and Confederate Army successfully intervened.

The four primary members of the Republic are the [[List of peoples of Cusinaut#E-H|Honeoye]], [[List of peoples of Cusinaut#E-H|Gowandis]], [[List of peoples of Cusinaut#A-D|Canandaigua]], and [[List of peoples of Cusinaut#Q-T|Saranac]]. The largest constituent peoples of the Nysdra Provisional Republic are the Honeoye, who, in 2021, were numbered at more than a half a million people. The Gowandis are the second largest constituent peoples of the Republic, comprising of about 470,000 people. The Canandaigua are the third most populous, comprised of about 450,000 people. The Saranac are the least populous peoples of the Nysdra Provisional Republic, numbering at about 350,000 people.

In addition to the primary four groups within the Republic, the [[List of peoples of Cusinaut#A-D|Algosh]] people are present within the Nysdra Provisional Republic as a significant minority population within each of the four constituent groups and are not considered to be a fifth constituent group. Algosh peoples number about 75,000. Algosh were primarily settled within the lands of the Honeoye, Gowandis, and Canandaguia during the decade of control of the territory of the Republic by [[Algoquona]]. Settlement within Saranac land was discouraged as part of an effort to foster friendly relations with the Saranac as part of the government's larger strategy to integrate them into the Algosh people proper. Algosh minorities within these lands also date, in some cases, to the period of the Northern Confederation, dividing the Algosh into two groups - the so-called "colonist" and "neighbor" groups. Although they retain their Algosh heritage, the "neighbor" groups in many cases have lived in the country for centuries and are largely loyal to local tribal and national leadership rather than the Kaigwa government. The colonist group refers to Algosh who relocated as part of the aforementioned state building efforts, many of whom were garrisoned forces and their families. With the [[Final War of the Deluge]], many of these garrisoned forces returned home or were ejected, but many of the newly arrived families decided to stay and attempt to integrate, having given up most of their belongings to try and begin new lives in the lands of the four peoples.

Both neighbor and colonist groups were subject to considerable prejudice during the establishment of the Republic, with the [[Royal and Confederate Army (New Yustona)|Royal and Confederate Army]] eventually having to establish garrisons at Algosh settlements to prevent attacks from the other peoples of the Republic.

The Nysdra Provisional Republic, as a temporary state, had very little central governing bodies to speak of. The four constituent peoples of the Republic maintained their own internal governing structures complete with their own methods - both administrative and traditional - of providing for the welfare and education of their people. These systems were bolstered by additional funding from [[Urcea]] which allowed the individual peoples to build new schools and hospitals.

Two major institutions were responsible for the governance of the Nysdra Provisional Republic, one of which was official and the other unofficial. The officially-recognized "sovereign body" of the Republic was the "Provisional War Council of the Provisional Republic", an irregularly-meeting body of the leaders of each of the four peoples as well as three designees each. This Council was primarily responsible for establishing the foreign policy of the Republic with the limited number of entities - primarily [[NSTA]] states - that recognized it, as well as providing for strategic aims for the [[Royal and Confederate Army (New Yustona)|Royal and Confederate Army]] to achieve in addition to providing the Army with advice and contact for local tribal officials within [[Algoquona]]. The Council also had limited legislative authority to create internal trade agreements and provide definitive conflict resolution between the constituent members. The Council had no president or speaker but did have a Secretary elected by the Council uniamimously, who was responsible for conveying the decisions of the Council and served as the effective "public face" of the Republic as well as its only senior official.

The unofficial and primary leading governing body of the Republic was, in actuality, the [[Royal and Confederate Army (New Yustona)|Royal and Confederate Army]], on whose fortunes the Republic was entirely reliant. Many scholars and Occidental intelligence officials offered that the Republic was "established in support of the Royal and Confederate Army" and "served no purpose other than the organization of friendly territory for the Army to operate in and recruit out of". Critics of Occidental intervention in [[Crona]], as a consequence, have referred to the Republic as a "{{wp|Collaborationism|collaborationist}} state of the highest order" in the words of [[Carna|Carnish]] speaker [[Robert Meighan]]. Accordingly, the leadership of the Army has a significant amount of influence on both the Provisional War Council as well as the individual administration of each of the four peoples.
