The martial tradition of the Algosh has received some outlet in service abroad, leading to a large degree of outmigration of Algosh men, including veterans of the [[Final War of the Deluge]] but also younger men raised in the traditional expectations of Algosh society. Men going abroad for military service typically do so in an extended social regimental unit, with dozens of men arriving together in foreign countries to volunteer for service and eventually settling there together following their service, bringing over any extended family that want to relocate. These Algosh expatriates are becoming an increasingly important part of [[NSTA]]'s overall collective defense, forming the backbone of the ground forces of [[Copake]] and a significant portion of the [[Quetzenkel|Quetzen]] army. A large number of Algosh have also enlisted in the [[Army_of_Burgundie#Tirailleurs_Tessouaton|Burgoignesc Foreign Legion's Tirailleurs Tessouat]] and a few are even present within [[New Veltorina]]'s army. The Algosh armed expatriates have lobbied to be allowed to form a foreign-legion like formation in [[Urcea]]'s [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] but have been denied both as an official discouragement of the process as well as domestic political concerns about former enemies serving in Urcea's military. | The martial tradition of the Algosh has received some outlet in service abroad, leading to a large degree of outmigration of Algosh men, including veterans of the [[Final War of the Deluge]] but also younger men raised in the traditional expectations of Algosh society.

Some critics and political observers have noted that the outmigration may be an intentional policy choice by [[Urcea]] rather than a byproduct of the pacification of Algosh culture insofar as it removes the most martially inclined individuals from Algosh society on a completely voluntary basis. Scholars have noted that the growing proliferation of Algosh soldiers abroad has had the unintended consequence of strengthening, rather than weakening, the Algosh reputation abroad for martial prowess. | Some critics and political observers have noted that the outmigration may be an intentional policy choice by [[Urcea]] rather than a byproduct of the pacification of Algosh culture insofar as it removes the most martially inclined individuals from Algosh society on a completely voluntary basis.

The outmigration of men has had the side-effect of introducing women to the workplace, a trend generally unknown to the Algosh prior to the Deluge. | ||

{{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. | {{wp|Lacrosse}} is the most popular sport in the Republic, followed by {{wp|soccer}}.
