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. Within that context, many small rituals and previously unremarked daily practices of the Algosh are receiving renewed attention and public elevation as unique and distinguishing cultural traditions. 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.

{{wp|Lacrosse}} is the most popular sport in the Republic, followed by {{wp|soccer}}. Due to the poor cultural and political relations between [[Algoquona]] and [[NSTA]], the [[Northern Crona Lacrosse Association]] (NCLA) was prohibited from being aired on Algoquonan television. Instead, the national Algosh Homeland League (AHL) was the most popular lacrosse league in the country. The [[Final War of the Deluge]] functionally brought an end to the league, as aerial bombing and other military disruptions precluded the ability of the League to continue operations. Additionally, as the war drained Algosh manpower, most of the league's stars were conscripted and then {{wp|killed in action}}. The Algosh people largely continued to play lacrosse as a street-and-farm game. When the NCLA became available to Algosh viewers for the first time, it immediately became the most popular lacrosse offering in the country, though unlike other Cusinauti countries, there was significant resistance to the Association among more nationalist Algosh. A revived AHL was formed and operated between [[2027]] and [[2030]] but eventually folded due to lack of sponsorships and investment, all of which went to the NCLA. Beginning in the 2030s, many of the best Algosh players began to move to [[New Harren]] in order to play in the Association. Kaigwa is considered a possible future home of an NCLA {{wp|expansion team}}, but issues - both lack of local capital and continued opposition to the "Occidental league" in some quarters - plague the possibility of expansion to the Republic. | |||
