New labor laws were introduced by Woon's cabinet to strike a balance between the demands of the workforce and the needs of businesses. Government representatives, employers, and labor unions, collaboratively set fair wage standards, working conditions, and dispute resolution mechanisms, intended to foster a cooperative environment. Despite rising wages resulting from these policies, the agriculture, oil, and natural resource sectors experienced heightened productivity, leading to expanded exports. The success of these initiatives contributed to the growth of a stable middle class, driven by improved job opportunities and economic prosperity. Also, the electronics industry, particularly in Peoria, gradually emerged during this time. |

The 1961 elections resulted in the defeat of the Coalition of National Reform and Unity (CNRU), as incumbent President Jacobus Woon lost to the Republican coalition led by Evert Crueger. The nation was polarized, with a contentious and closely contested outcome. The election results were confirmed after a recount in 1962. The Republicans' victory was driven by a strong campaign for regional economic autonomy, notably in economically-booming regions like the Central Corridor. The discontent of the rising entrepreneurial middle class with CNRU labor policies further contributed to the Republicans' success. |

The Crueger-Lundgren administration marked a change from the stringent labor laws implemented during the Woon administration. The government introduced measures such as tax incentives for businesses and deregulation, and Tussenland improved in ease to do businesses. Despite these initiatives, the administration faced significant criticism, especially from CNRU supporters, leading to perceptions of its legitimacy being questioned. |

In the subsequent elections in 1967, the Republicans were defeated by the CNRU, leading to the return of CNRU governance with the election of [[Anssem Sjestakow]] as the new president. |
