The '''Kingdom of Dericania''' was a constituent Kingdom of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]], and for much of the Empire's existence it was the seat of the [[Emperor of the Levantines]] in [[Corcra (City)|Corcra]], where the [[Imperial Diet]] and [[Collegial Electorate]] met. Characterized by dozens , sometimes hundreds of principalities, the Kingdom of Dericania drove many of the political concerns within the Empire during the {{wp|Early Modern Period}} through the {{wp|Late Modern Period}}, including during the [[Great Confessional War]], the [[Caroline Wars]], and finally during the [[Great War]], where various nationalists, liberals, and socialists attempted to achieve Derian nationhood, beginning the first phase of the conflict. These groups formed the [[Deric Republic]] to replace the ancient Kingdom apparatus with a unified wartime state.

While historians distinguish the [[Eastern Kingdom of the Levantines]], founded in [[917]] upon the death of [[Emperor of the Levantines|Emperor]] Brian III, from the Kingdom of Dericania, the two crowns were the same, with the name changing as Eastern King of the Levantines, [[Emperor Leo I of the Holy Levantine Empire|King Leo]], reforging the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] in [[965]]. While the [[Emperor of the Levantines]] used Dericania and its crown possession, [[Corcra (City)|Corcra]], as a successful base of power from the 10th to the 14th century, the Kingdom mostly devolved into an area with the least central authority in the Empire by the 1400s.  
In 917, upon the death of the [[Emperor of the Levantines|Emperor]] Brian III, the [[Holy Levantine Empire|Levantine Empire]] under the [[Conine dynasty]] was partitioned into three parts, roughly corresponding to modern day [[Urcea]], [[Carna]], and [[Dericania]], with the latter portion known as the Eastern Kingdom of the Levantines.  Passing from the Conine dynasty to the Leonine dynasty, [[Emperor Leo I of the Holy Levantine Empire|King Leo]], reformed the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] in [[965]] with his conquest of the [[Southern Kingdom of the Levantines]], reunifying most of the realm and receiving subsequent recognition of the [[Pope]]. Historians debate when the name "''Dericania''" entered common use for the realm, but the "Eastern Kingdom" nomenclature was largely extinct by the late 11th century. While the [[Emperor of the Levantines]] used Dericania and its crown possession, [[Corcra (City)|Corcra]], as a successful base of power from the 10th to the 14th century, the Kingdom mostly devolved into an area with the least central authority in the Empire by the 1400s.
