Dissolution of the Deric States: Difference between revisions

Line 37: Line 37:
As consolidation and mediatization reached a broad conclusion that resulted in the establishment of [[Rhotia]] and [[Lapody]] as independent states, both states continued to pursue the idea of preserving the Deric States in some form, and accordingly the [[Deric_States#Structure|Confederated Council of Dericania]] - still made up of representatives of the former Deric member nations - voted in February 2031 to recognize Lapody and Rhotia as members of the Deric States before voting to remove themselves from the Council and replace themselves with three representatives each from the two member states. The reconstituted council, largely made up of the same individuals as before, pledged a "middle course" - preservation of the Deric States in some form even in a post-mediatization world. Popular attitutdes in both nations generally regarded the other with warm feelings, and so a special bond continuing between the two had broad support. As a two-member organization would be quickly sidelined in the name of more direct bilateral relations, this middle course was partly predicated on the idea of reincorporating [[Lutsana]], [[Hollona and Diorisia]], and possibly even [[Burgundie]] into the organization, creating a form of [[Dericania]]-wide cultural organization. The three nations all rejected these overtures, with the former two stating that the time for integration beyond that provided by the [[Levantine Union]] was past. [[Burgundie]] did not respond at all.

==Formal dissolution==
==Final end==
===Failure of the "middle course" and Union intervention===
===Last effort to save the organization===
===Formal dissolution===
Having run afoul of the [[Levantine Union]] and failing to add any other nation back into the union, leaders in Rhotia and Lapody in 20XX held several closed-door negotiations throughout the spring and summer. On 17 August 20XX, the [[Deric_States#Structure|Confederated Council of Dericania]] met for the final time and voted unanimously to dissolve the Confederation of the Estates and Principalities of Dericania and to divide its assets between the two remaining member states and the [[Levantine Union]]. The Dissolution represented the formal and final end of [[Dericania]] as a single political that began with the establishment of the [[Eastern Kingdom of the Levantines]] in [[917]].
