The Union State of Hollona and Diorisia, also known by its unofficial name, the Vandarch Republic, is a country in Levantia. It is located in the extreme northwestern region of the Deric States and borders the Vandarch. It is a member of the Deric States and Levantine Union. Though the united republic was established during the Second Fratricide, the union of Hollona and Diorisia dates to the mid-18th century, when the former Angla territory of the Duchy of Hollona was inherited by the Elector of Diorisia, giving the much larger territory of Diorisia access to the Vandarch. The Union State is unique within the Deric States as having a lasting Ænglish cultural influence, leading to the creation of a heavily Ænglicized Derian culture within the country.

The politics and administration of Hollona and Diorisia take place in a framework of a parliamentary representative democracy, whereby executive power is exercised by the State Union Council. As a federation, it has several levels of political structuring. The most important of these levels is the division of the country into two entities: the Republic of Hollona and the Republic of Diorisia. The State Union Council, the upper chamber of the legislature, is represented by five members from each of the two Republics, and from this body the Speaker-President is elected, serving three year terms. This State Union Council serves in a limited executive capacity, voting primarily on matters of state recommended to it by the Popular Assembly. The lower chamber, the Popular Assembly, is lead by the Chair of the Assembly, and is the nation's chief legislative body, representing proportionally-allocated electoral districts.
