The full integration of the members of the [[Deric States]] in the [[Levantine Union]] following the [[Second Great War]] lead to a decline of Derianism as a distinct philosophical and political concept, both in terms of its development as well as its popularity. The decline of the concept lead to a loss of identity with not only Derianism as a whole but also the Derian nations that were established in the wake of the [[Third Fratricide]]. The establishment of relatively stable modern nations, and the mobility and openness afforded by the [[Levantine Union]] contributed to Derians instead viewing themselves as part of their constituent language groups, the Rhotians and Lapodards, or as citizens of the Levantine Union. | The full integration of the members of the [[Deric States]] in the [[Levantine Union]] following the [[Second Great War]] lead to a decline of Derianism as a distinct philosophical and political concept, both in terms of its development as well as its popularity.

In addition to the political changes that facilitated the end of Derian identity, the development and widespread adoption of the {{wp|internet}} throughout the Levantine Union in the 1980s created a cultural move away from a unified Derian identity. Many residents of the Deric States, for the first time on a daily basis, had major exposure to the cultural traditions and language of the other parts of the Deric States. The rise of internet communication had the functional effect of dividing, not uniting, the people of the Deric States. Rhotians and Lapodards began to emphasize what made their individual groups unique rather than what united them, and by the 1990s a majority of people living in modern day Rhotia and Lapody began to answer "I am more similar to people living in my own country or a neighboring country than those who live in Rhotian/Lapodard speaking countries" in public polling. The identification and support for what made Lapodards and Rhotians unique grew significantly with the development of {{wp|Web 2.0}} and the mainstreaming of online culture, and by 2003 most major universities throughout the Deric States began to offer courses on "Local Commonality", dissecting the differences between the two major Deric groups. | |||
The political and social developments of the post-Second Great War era, as well as a general decrease of function in the Deric States organization in favor of the organs of the Levantine Union lead to the [[Dissolution of the Deric States]] in the 2020s and 2030s. The question of inclusion of [[Hollona and Diorisia]] was definitively decided by their withdrawal from the Deric States in the mid 2020s and embrace of a distinct ethnic and cultural identity. With the Deric area now significantly reduced, the trend towards recognition of shared linguistic groups became far more popular than that of a Derian identity. | |||
