The newly established Tribal Council government was heavily influenced by Tussenland. However, the rise of the oil industry and Tussenland's economic domination within Opdamsland in the 1920s led to growing anti-Tussenlander sentiment.
The First Republic under Jan Wapamiathe (1937-1959) began with a coup in 1937, as Wapamiathe capitalized on anti-Tussenlander sentiment to seize power. During his rule, Wapamiathe nationalized the oil industry and enacted various cultural reforms. After his death in 1949, the Democratic Opdamsland era (1949-
== Government and Politics ==
In Opdamsland, the administrative divisions were initially formed based on parcels of land assigned to various tribes by the Dutch colonial authorities during the relocation of natives in the 19th and early 20th centuries. When Opdamsland gained independence from the Dutch in 1903, these subdivisions were adopted by the new Opdamsland government and served as the foundation for the modern provincial divisions, with the native groups originally assigned to these territories having political and administrative control.
The power dynamics between the tribes and the central government have fluctuated throughout the region's history. During the Tribal Council period, the provinces enjoyed a high degree of autonomy, with each tribe governing its own territory. This era of self-rule reached its peak under the leadership of Jan Wapamiathe (1937-1959), as resources were nationalized and tribal influence was strengthened.
However, the subsequent military junta period (1958-19xx) marked a shift in the relationship between the tribes and the central government. While the tribes still maintained a degree of autonomy, tensions arose as the junta was uneasy with the level of self-governance held by the provinces.
