Like many other peoples in the [[Holy Levantine Empire]], the people of [[Dericania]] can trace their origins to the [[Latin Heroic Age]] and [[Great Levantia]], with residents of Dericania being an admixture of [[Latinic people|Latinic]] and [[Gaelic people|Gaelic]] heritages, with ''CORE DERICS'' and ''CORE DERICS'' in particular having a greater continual Latinic ancestry than their neighbors. The relative similarity of these peoples lead to the rise of the {{wp|exonym}} ''[[Menquoi]]'', which referred to both the residents of Dericania and [[Urcea]]; this term would later be viewed as derogatory by both peoples. | |||

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 ''CORE DERICS''. 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.
