| '''Levantine Creep''' is a series of related social phenomenon and theories, both related to the expansion of [[Urcea]] and the general spread of [[Levantia|Levantine]] influence. The first, more common "Levantine Creep" is a {{wp|conspiracy theory}} narrative in [[Caphiria|Caphirian]] discourse to describe an alleged conspiracy that [[Urcea]] and its allies aim to harm, weaken or annihilate the societal system of Caphiria by “building a ring of colonies and concession states to ensnare Caphirian interests”, disrupting the traditional system of [[Imperial Diplomacy (Sarpedon)|Imperial Diplomacy]]. The perpetrators of the conspiracy are alleged to be ''mentiens latius'' (false Latins), itself stemming from another historical conspiracy. While the theory of the Levantine Creep is predominant in Caphiria, it has been slowly spread throughout [[Sarpedon]] as a result of the growth of Caphirian influence on the continent.

|
| The second "Levantine Creep" describes an observed expansion of [[Levantia|Levantines]] into [[Crona]], beginning with [[Burgundie|Burgundian]] interests in the south and growing with [[Urcea|Urcean]] interests in the north. "Levantine Creep" in this context also refers to a social phenomenon within [[Urcea]] of the so-called "inexorable draw of the land of opportunity" of [[New Harren]] and [[Crona]] in general, leading to widespread interest in migration eastward. | | * The '''Treaty of Electorsbourg (1910)''' concluded a war between [[Urcea]] and the [[Northern Confederation]] and expanded the territory of the [[New Harren]] colony at the expense of the Schoharie people. |
| | * The '''Treaty of Electorsbourg (2017)''' between [[Algoquona]], [[Pachaug]], and [[Houstaonic]] recognized the right of the two latter cities to become [[International charter city|international charter cities]]. |
| | * The '''[[Treaty of Electorsbourg (2024)]]''' concluded the [[Final War of the Deluge]] and affected the partition and reform of [[Varshan]]. |

| The origin of the Caphirian concept dates back to the mid 17th century, during the [[War of Urlazio]] where the coastal strip of the island of Urlazio was taken under Urcean control as a way to create a buffer between the two countries. This, as well as Urcean support for [[Veltorina|Veltorine]] independence in the late 18th century, contributed to a negative perception of Urcean interests and would spark several centuries of animosity between Caphiria and Urcea.

| ==History of "Caphirian" Levantine Creep==
| |
| | |
| The Caphirian theory of Levantine Creep began in 1782, when [[Urcea]] intervened in the [[Veltorine War of Independence]] against [[Caphiria]], committing forces from the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] on [[Sarpedon]] for the first time in history besides the [[Crusades]]. As a consequence of Urcean support, the [[House de Weluta]] was rewarded with the Kingdom of [[Talionia]] following the conclusion of hostilities. Talionia induced a brief "Urcean Scare" in [[Caphiria]] which dramatically enhanced the conspiratorial and what some have called "paranoid" nature of the Levantine Creep theory. Talionia served as a "forward operating base" to guarantee the independence of [[Veltorina]] against [[Caphiria]]n reconquest. It was during this period that Caphirians began to include the [[Ixnayan Crusades|Crusades]], as part of the theory to show a long history of what was referred to as "Levantine meddling".

| | |
| In [[1798]], [[Caphiria]]n hawks became alarmed at the speed at which [[Levantia|Levantine]] influence crossed the width of [[Sarpedon]], increasing paranoia. Later, in [[1826]], [[Burgundie]] seized the island of [[Port de Vent]] and was able to withstand a [[Kiravia]]n attempt to disestablish the [[Burgundie|Burgundian]] presence in the [[Kindreds Sea]]. In [[Caphiria]], this was interpreted as a broader plan between [[Burgundie]] and [[Urcea]] to encircle and destroy Caphiria.
| |
| | |
| Urcea's focus on the [[Caroline Wars]] in the 18th and 19th century decreased fears of an imminent Urcean invasion somewhat, but the Caphirian theory of Levantine Creep entered its modern form during the [[Occidental Cold War]], when it became the official state rationale for the nation's geopolitical opposition to Urcea. With the [[Assumption Accords]] and end of the Cold War, many have surmised that the "Creep" phenomenon in Caphirian society has entered into decline.
