Rhotia was established in [[2030]] in the aftermath of the [[Dissolution of the Deric States]], unifying the five Rhotian language-speaking countries of Allaria, Corcra, Orclenia, Kronenia, and Vinesia that were members of the [[Deric States]]. The new Rhotian nationality emerged as the idea of a unified [[Derian identity]] collapsed, emphasizing the shared history, language, and day-to-day social mores of Rhotian-speaking peoples. Rhotian identity and nationality is a relatively new concept, and the five states which preceded Rhotia had virtually no shared political history save their common part of the [[Kingdom of Dericania]]. Via the internet and other interactions, Rhotian identity emerged largely as a culture of contrast, being different from the neighboring people of [[Lapody]]. The process to establish the Rhotian state was more careful than that of the Lapodian state, and as a consequence the predecessor states survive as federal units within the country's federalist constitution. | Rhotia was established in [[2030]] in the aftermath of the [[Dissolution of the Deric States]], unifying the five Rhotian language-speaking countries of Allaria, Corcra, Orclenia, Kronenia, and Vinesia that were members of the [[Deric States]].

Rhotia is a {{wp|federal republic|federal}}, {{wp|constitutional republic}} with various democratic values. It is governed by the Fundamental Statute of 2030, which serves as the Republic's {{wp|constitution}}.

Rhotia is relatively unique among members of the [[Levantine Union]] in that its {{wp|head of state}} and {{wp|head of government}} are the same office, eschewing both the semi-presidential model of [[Fiannria]], the [[Julian republic|Julian]] form of governance, as well as the more conventional {{wp|constitutional monarchy|constitutional monarchical systems}} employed by states like [[Lapody]] and [[ | Rhotia is a {{wp|federal republic|federal}}, {{wp|constitutional republic}} with various democratic values.

Rhotia, as a new country comprised of five former countries, has one political party and three primary "coalitions" rather than political parties; these coalitions are made up of the various local political parties of the five states. All four coalitions committed themselves to reforming into centrally organized political parties by 2035, though the process has led to strong regional parties remaining in place. The Rhotian Nationalist Party (RNP) is the only organized national party which controls a majority in both houses of the government. The three coalitions, by order of size within the Assembly, are the Post-Deric Front ({{wp|left wing|left}}), the Coalition of Patriotic Democrats ({{wp|big tent}}/{{wp|populist}}), and the Coalition for the Right Governance of the Kingdom of Dericania ({{wp|far right}}). | ||
