The national identity and culture of people from Hollona and Diorisia is "Vandarchine", and Vandarchines consider themselves both a nation and ethnic group. Vandarchines are a relatively newer group of people, originating from the initial union of Hollona and Diorisia. The 16th century [[Nordmontaine War]] and addition of the [[Ænglish people|Ænglish]] Duchy of Hollona to the relatively equal sized [[Rhotia]]n 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 rule of the [[Faneria]]n dynasty over the country between [[1817]] and [[1934]] also introduced significant Fanerian cultural touchstones and traditions into Vandarchine life, further distinguishing it from its adjoining Ænglish and Rhotian neighbors. | The national identity and culture of people from Hollona and Diorisia is "Vandarchine", and Vandarchines consider themselves both a nation and ethnic group.
