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". Later, on 4 May 2025, Deputy Rector Bruno issued the Decree on Prices and Productivity, an act which began the liberalization of the economy by repealing previous price controls and state monopolies. The decree was devised by DNID and CPAAS in consultation and implemented by ACED. On 1 June, a proclamation was issued by CPAAS in the name of the Deputy Rector which conferred on most Algosh the "name and rights of citizen". The only group not included were all former Hierarchs as well as some senior military officials; the proclamation had the practical effect of absolving most military personnel of their role in the regime, opening the door for their reintegration into society. On 10 October, the occcupation government established a date for elections to the constitutional convention - 1 January, with the convention to begin on 1 February. The convention would use the old Hierarchies as a base constituency for the time being, with 100 overall delegates apportioned to each Hierarchy by population. | On 10 Feburary [[2025]], DNID and CPAAS began the long process of constructing the basic framework of a new Algosh state.

On 1 January 2026, under the supervision of the Royal and Imperial Army and volunteers associated with CPAAS, the convention election was held with no irregularities or problems, a momentous event in the history of the Algosh people. | On 1 January 2026, under the supervision of the Royal and Imperial Army and volunteers associated with CPAAS, the convention election was held with no irregularities or problems, a momentous event in the history of the Algosh people. The convention began formally on 3 February of that year in Kaigwa but ran into significant issues as it was divided between traditionalists and reformers and by the end of February an impasse was reached. In the meantime, CPAAS and Urcea concluded an agreement whereby the Algosh would gain independence on 1 July 2026 and CPAAS becoming the provisional government under the leadership of Jala-meni as "Chairman of the National Provisional Governing Council" (NPGC). Although controversial in the convention (given that many in the convention sought to establish it as the provisional governing authority of the Algosh people) the convention nonetheless ratified the agreement on 8 March under the condition that the NPGC be made up of the six existing CPAAS members as well as four appointees of the convention and that any future vacancies in the NPGC would be filled by the convention, which was accepted by all parties. Although independence was set for 1 July, the new NPGC formally took office on 1 May of [[2026]] in preparation for the establishment of Algosh independence. | ||

The newly formed provisional government had two primary tasks before it, namely the construction of a state apparatus ahead of independence and overseeing the convention as it worked to establish a constitution for the Algosh Republic. | |||
The new state's provisional government immediately faced a contentious issue with regard to Varshani refugees. Among the two major political factions of the provisional era - the reformers and the traditionalists - the reformers took a harder-line anti-refugee approach while the traditionalists were in favor of refugee resettlement. Though cultural observers noted that this was somewhat counterintuitive from an Occidental point of view, the traditionalists argued that [[Zurgite Varshan]] fought and was destroyed partly on behalf of [[Algoquona]]'s independence, and thus the Algosh people had a "bond of honor" to accept Varshani people. The provisional government resisted the resettlement on the basis of the poverty of the people already living within the Republic, but [[Urcea]] sought their resettlement due to the well established aid infrastructure and general plentiful food stores now established in northern [[Cusinaut]]. The reformers ultimately lost the public debate and in August [[2027]] agreed to resettle a thousand Varshani families along the mostly wartorn eastern border with [[New Harren]]. | |||

The 2030 election was the first free and fair election in the history of the Algosh people and was observed by multiple international organizations and foreign countries. As per the Hierarchical Canon, all 263 seats of the National Assembly as well as the local legislatures of all ten Captaincies were on the ballot. The Algosh Rebirth League won a majority in the National Assembly, majorities in all ten Captaincies, and the office of Hierarch of the Treasury. The Rebirth League, consequently, continued the Algosh Republic on the path of social reform and nation-building began by the provisional government. | The 2030 election was the first free and fair election in the history of the Algosh people and was observed by multiple international organizations and foreign countries.

The 2030s were a time of continued social upheaval in the Republic due to the impacts of disarmament on the Algosh worldview and the growth of out-migration of both war veterans and young men. | The 2030s were a time of continued social upheaval in the Republic due to the impacts of disarmament on the Algosh worldview and the growth of out-migration of both war veterans and young men. | ||
