The [[Bergendii]], or the Bergendii peoples, are a Derian ethnocultural group tracing their ancestry back to modern-day [[Burgundie]], but more specifically the [[Occidental_world#Istroyo-Adonerii_Culture_Group|Istroyo-Adonerii]] peoples of the northern parts of [[Burgundie]] ([[Ile Burgundie]] and [[Nostrestran]]) and not the Gassavelians of [[Faramount]]. | The [[Bergendii]], or the Bergendii peoples, are a Derian ethnocultural group tracing their ancestry back to modern-day [[Burgundie]], but more specifically the [[Occidental_world#Istroyo-Adonerii_Culture_Group|Istroyo-Adonerii]] peoples of the northern parts of [[Burgundie]] ([[Ile Burgundie]] and [[Nostrestran]]) and not the Gassavelians of [[Faramount]]. | ||
Due to their centuries of maritime travel, the [[Bergendii]] live on every continent and with few exceptions are present in almost every country on earth, this is especially true of countries with coastlines. | Due to their centuries of maritime travel, the [[Bergendii]] live on every continent and with few exceptions are present in almost every country on earth, this is especially true of countries with coastlines. | ||

Following the establishment of a distinct concept as a Derian nation, inevitable controversies ensued over who would be included in such a 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]]. The disputes largely fought between intellectuals and scholars of the [[Bergendii]] people and what might be referred to as "core Derians", the Rhotian and Lapodard peoples. The debate on the Two Derics would be the seminal event of Derian identity during the 19th century and would lay the groundwork for the [[Second Great War]] in [[Levantia]] as well as the future decline of Derianism. | Following the establishment of a distinct concept as a Derian nation, inevitable controversies ensued over who would be included in such a people.

The first debate occurred within the Deric Awakening during and following the Deric defeat in the and considered the question of whether or not the [[Bergendii]] were considered to be part of the Derian people and, accordingly, if they had a role in any "Derian state" to be formed in the future. 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 Rhotians and Lapodards and the [[Bergendii]] but also the people of [[Hollona and Diorisia | The first debate occurred within the Deric Awakening during and following the Deric defeat in the and considered the question of whether or not the [[Bergendii]] were considered to be part of the Derian people and, accordingly, if they had a role in any "Derian state" to be formed in the future.

The Maximalist position espoused the idea of "Great Dericania", which included not only Rhotians and Lapodards and the [[Bergendii]] but also the people of [[Hollona and Diorisia]]. 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 [[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]]. The establishment of relatively stable modern nations, and the mobility and openness afforded by the [[Levantine Union]] contributed to Derians instead viewing themselves as part of their constituent language groups, the Rhotians and Lapodards, or as citizens of the Levantine Union. 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 [[Hollona and Diorisia]] was 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. | ||
