Vandarchines are a relatively newer group of people, originating from Hollona and Diorisia. The 16th century [[Nordmontaine War]] and addition of the [[Ænglish people|Ænglish]] Duchy of Hollona to the relatively equal sized Rhotian Duchy of Diorisia created a cultural interchange between these people, resulting in the creation of a distinct Vandarchine culture speaking Ænglish with many Rhotian cultural traditions. The rulers of the two Duchies were relatively open to the cultural changes the Ænglish brought, leading to a relatively early emergence of this national identity - newspapers and journals from the 1710s speak to residents of the two duchies viewing themselves as a separate and united people. As its national conciousness emerged earlier, Vandarchines never viewed themselves as part of the Derian identity, but nonetheless committed themselves to joining a united Dericanian polity at various times. The reasons for these are varied, ranging from pragmatic economic ties to the Rhotians, to fear of being incorporated into [[Urcea]] or [[Fiannria]], but the predominant social attitude was [[Burgophobia]], fearing envelopment of the country by [[Yonderre]] to the west while the [[Bergendii]] made war on the Lapodards. The Union State of Hollona and Diorisia emerged from the [[Second Great War]], during which it had been occupied, as part of the [[Deric States]]. It was the first to secede from the organization in [[2023]], signaling the beginning of the [[Dissolution of the Deric States]].
