The '''Deric States''', commonly referred to as '''Dericania''' also sometimes called the '''Deric Confederation''' and officially the '''Confederation of the Estates and Principalities of Dericania''' | The '''Deric States''', commonly referred to as '''Dericania''' also sometimes called the '''Deric Confederation''' and officially the '''Confederation of the Estates and Principalities of Dericania''' was a confederation of Derian countries in eastern [[Levantia]], ranging from two members at its dissolution to ten members at its peak. It was comprised of the majority of the former territory of the [[Kingdom of Dericania]] excepting [[Burgundie]]. The Confederation was established in the aftermath of the Great War, and all of its states were members of the [[Levantine Union]]. | ||
The | The Deric States was considered the legal successor or the Kingdom of Dericania, though its direct predecessor was the [[Derian National Congress]], groups of liberals and moderate nationalists and several states in Dericania who confederated following the end of the [[Deric Republic]]. Many scholars and observers have noted that the function of the Deric Confederation was increasingly subsumed into that of the [[Levantine Union]], and calls for the absorption of the Confederation's functions into the Union played a direct role in the [[Dissolution of the Deric States]]. | ||

The Deric States had an organizational structure that, nominally, provided for the administrative and coordination of the public efforts of its member states. In practice, however, the Deric States major apparatuses were largely replaced with those of the [[Levantine Union]], with the Deric States reduced to a coordinating entity for the Union by the late 1970s. The primary 21st century role of the Deric States was to provide a unified judiciary system for its members. | The Deric States had an organizational structure that, nominally, provided for the administrative and coordination of the public efforts of its member states.

The administrative head of the Deric States was the Elector-President of the Confederation of the Estates and Principalities of Dericania. This office rotated on an annual basis between the permanent ambassadors of its member states. The Elector-President's role was to oversee the bureaucratic administration of the Deric States, and in practice by the 21st century this largely entailed the appointment of judges and serving as a partial intermediary between the Levantine Union and specific bureaucratic agencies of the individual Deric States. The Elector-President served as the chairperson of the Confederate Council of Dericania. | The administrative head of the Deric States was the Elector-President of the Confederation of the Estates and Principalities of Dericania.

The Confederate Council of Dericania was designed to have wide-reaching legislative authority over the affairs of the members of the Deric States, including foreign and domestic issues. It was to be made up of the permanent ambassadors to the Deric States. In practice, the Council exercised its authority in the 1950s and 60s and played an important role in the rebuilding of [[Dericania]], but after around 1970 it began to vote to delegate its authorities and prerogatives to the [[Levantine Union Diet]] or back to the member states. The Confederate Council, intended to be the organization's most important institution, did not meet at all between 1988 and 2029. Part of the Confederate Council was the Committee for Tariff and Trade Protection, which had full statutory authority to set the foreign duties and tariffs for the Deric States. In practice, the Committee was fully supplanted by the trade area regulations established by the Levantine Union Diet, and the Committee held its last meeting in February 1962. | The Confederate Council of Dericania was designed to have wide-reaching legislative authority over the affairs of the members of the Deric States, including foreign and domestic issues.
