Infrastructure, education, healthcare, and other similar social institutions had been greatly transformed in the intervening decade and a half. Despite these successes, the often caustic approach of the Justice and Progress Party to reform alienated many voters who sought normalcy and stability, and the United Volonia Movement won a landslide victory in 2002. With corruption having been mostly eliminated, the Justice and Progress Party became victims of their own success, as reform issues were no longer a winning political issue. The party dissolved in 2010, with many of its key constituencies moving to the rival United Volonia Movement or the upstart Commonwealth Party. | Infrastructure, education, healthcare, and other similar social institutions had been greatly transformed in the intervening decade and a half.

During this period, popular [[Music in Urcea|Urcean music]] began to spread to the country, becoming popularized and adapted by local artists. It was also during the 1990s that the Volonian government sought to revert to having closer relations with the Delepasians of the relatively recently-unified [[Delepasian Commonwealth]], which by that point had left LOTA as part of its liberalizing reforms under then-prime minister Nicolas Torres.
