Kiavalar kindly donated large swatches of military equipment in 2430 to Empherias for free. These included 50 metal body planes, 200 other planes, 15 medium tanks, 100 light tanks, 200 heavy tanks, and 200 armoured cars. By 2435, Empherias maintained a tank count of 335. Furthermore, two military officers (one armed expert and one naval admiral) went to Empherias to help modernise the military.

{{See also|2429 Empherias general election}}
The 2429 general election took place on 1 September 2429. Generally, Rettels had improved the country's economic situation and handled the position of the country internationally after the Great War. Therefore, her approval rating was high and thus the People's Socialist Party succeeded well in the general election, gaining 27 seats from 351 won in 2425 to 378 won this time. This increased the government's majority from 102 to 156. The opposition's Liberal party lost 16 seats going from 179 to 163, and all minor parties excluding the Greens lost seats. Alice Rettels was re-elected prime minister.
Following months of ill health, being signed off from the army due to sickness, Henry Alark had wanted to return to his post as quickly as possible. This quick return however worsened his health and in late 2439, he suffered a stroke. He recovered and continued to work as Minister of Defence off and on throughout 2430, sometimes working from home. On 7 October 2430, after months of this practice, he suffered another stroke and on 8 October, a third stroke. He entered end of life care and passed away on 12 October 2430, aged 92. He was celebrated by some by insisting he remain in government despite ill health. William Weslington, a famous army general and Chief of the Armed Forces, took over as Defence minister.
In 2430, Rettels' administration banned carrying weapons in public in order to create a safer environment following an uptick in crime in Georgina. Peoples could receive fines or prison time for carrying blunt or sharp objects to harm without a reasonable purpose.
