In November 2891 after months of internal political conflict and tension, a semi-presidential parliamentary democracy was created unanimously by the Senate, under the title of People's Democratic Republic of Sekowo. The government of the time set its goal to regain the respect Sekowo once had before its former government collapsed. In 2907 Sekowo was officially renamed as the Commonwealth of Sekowo, and in 2910 the Federal Commonwealth of Sekowo. During this period the government was greatly decentralised, and the unions gained much political power. The Federal government attempted to regain from Hulstria some of Sekowo's lost colonies, but this offer was rejected. It was also during the Second Commonwealth that ethnic tensions and radical nationalism began to rise politically.
