'''Derian identity''', sometimes referred to as '''Derianism''', is the proposition that the peoples of [[Dericania]] are related in such a way as to constitute them as a single {{wp|nation}}, the Derian people. | |||

The term "the Two Derics" refers to two identically named but separate (though related) debates occurring in the [[Kingdom of Dericania]] in the 19th century regarding the issue of Derian identity as it related to ethnic minorities within the Kingdom, particularly the residents of what would become [[Burgundie]].

During this debate, the "maximalist position" - that is, that they ought to be included - was prevalent among most prominent Derian nationalist but was not popular among the [[Bergendii]] themselves. The Maximalist position espoused the idea of "Great Dericania", which included not only ''CORE DERICS'' and ''CORE DERICS'' and the [[Bergendii]] but also the people of [[Hollona and Diorisia]] and [[Lutsana]]. The first debate came to a head with [[First_Fratricide#Le_Crise_della_Dix|''Le Crise della Dix'']], a political crisis following the [[Third Caroline War]] wherein [[Bergendii]] were expected to surrender land to fellow Derian princes in the name of national solidarity. The resulting [[First Fratricide]] established an independent Bergendii nation, [[Burgundie]]. Latent [[Burgophobia]] proved to be a strong unifying force which enabled the Derian national project to come to encompass [[Lutsana]] and [[Hollona and Diorisia]]. | ||
The second debate occurred from the 1890s to the 1920s and concerned the construction of the [[Kingdom of Dericania]], which was now largely dominated by [[Burgundie]] and an opposing bloc of Derian princes. The second debate specifically related to whether or not [[Burgundie]] should be a part of Dericania at all or if a united Derian realm could be created out of the Kingdom by separating [[Burgundie]], either by elevating the latter to a Kingdom, making it a nominal part of the [[Imperial Kingdom of Urcea]], by divesting the [[Emperor of the Levantines]] of the Dericanian crown in order to create a single realm, or some combination of the above options. This primarily legal and political debate was not resolved until the [[Second Great War]] and dominated the political discourse of the day in both the Derian realms and [[Burgundie]], leading to the abdication of [[List_of_Emperors_of_the_Levantines#Marius_Dynasty|Emperor August I]] in 1920 among other incidents | The second debate occurred from the 1890s to the 1920s and concerned the construction of the [[Kingdom of Dericania]], which was now largely dominated by [[Burgundie]] and an opposing bloc of Derian princes.

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]], with Derics instead viewing themselves as citizens of the Levantine Union or as part of their constituent language groups, the ''CORE DERICS'' and ''CORE DERICS''. These tensions, 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 [[Lutsana]] and [[Hollona and Diorisia]] were 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. | |||
