The '''dissolution of the Deric States''' was a multi-staged process that brought about the end of the [[Deric States]] organization specifically and the post-[[Second Great War]] geopolitical status quo of [[Dericania]] generally.  
'''Fußball-Klub Frehmenwerther Kickers e.V. 1908''', commonly known as simply '''Frémenwerder Kickers''', '''EffKah''' or '''FKFK''', is a football club based in [[Frehmenwerth|Frémenwerd]], the capital city of [[Hendalarsk]], which competes in the [[Hendalarskaras Bundesliga]], the top domestic division in the country. Founded as ''Fussballspielgesellschaft „Frehmenwerther-Kickers-Klub“ e.V. 1908'', the club adopted its current name in 1929, with the substitution of "Fußball" for "Fussball" in 1973 the only change of note in that time. The club plays at the [[FK-FK-Arena]] in central Frémenwerd and has done so since 1929; this central location has historically made expansion of the ground difficult, but it is now one of the largest stadia in the country.


==Background==
Frémenwerder Kickers were a founder member of the Hendalarskaras Bundesliga and have never been relegated from the division, one of very few clubs to hold that distinction. They are also the most successful team in the division's history, having won the title on 26 occasions between 1931 and 2025 and dozens of cups. They retain a fierce rivalry with [[Rapid-Frehmenwerth]], perennial challengers for major honours, as well as with smaller Frémenwerd clubs such as [[Wiktoría Frémenwerd]] and [[Kunyeria Wremenverda]].

==Club culture==
Derisively referred to as a "regime team" by their rivals due to a perceived cosiness with the Hendalarskara government, the Kickers have a history of success and a notably impatient fanbase which demands future success of its managers. The club's ultras, the ''Nordbrigáde'' (so-called because of their traditional position in the FK-FK-Arena's North Stand), are the most fanatical fan group, and during the era of widespread fan disorder that characterised Hendalarskara football in the 1970s were notorious for their conflicts with rival groups. An extremist offshoot of the group, the ''Sonenkämfer'' ("Warriors of the Sun"), were responsible for a string of murders in 1978 and 1979, and their activities have been used by rivals to denounce the team (often cynically) as in some sense existentially right-wing. Recent years have belied this; the club is at the forefront of efforts towards LGBTQ and ethnic minority inclusion in Hendalarskara football. The club's continued success has nevertheless led to a widespread perception that many of its modern fans are "elitist" and/or "plastic"<ref>Joining in order to be associated with success rather than out of any real emotional connection to the club.</ref>, an impression which is hardly helped by former manager and club legend Andréas Hofen's oft-quoted remark "We're not elitist, we treat all our equals with respect - it just so happens that we don't have any equals!"
===Rivalries and alliances===
The club's rivalry with [[Rapid-Frehmenwerth]], the [[Hauptstadsch Derby]], is among the most fiercely-contested fixtures in world football; many league seasons have hinged on the outcome of these games, with the momentum and bragging rights gained by the winner just as important as the swing in the standings. The most notorious instance of the rivalry remains the final game of the 1991-92 season, when Rapid arrived at the FK-FK-Arena two points behind the Kickers and thereby required a win at the ground of their hated rivals to clinch the league title. Rapid duly won through a 91st-minute free-kick struck by [[Lukas Horstenmeyer]], sparking delirious celebrations among the away contingent and a pitch invasion by the irate home fans which took thousands of security personnel to disperse. The Kickers have nevertheless dominated the 2020s in Hendalarskara football, whereas Rapid have undergone a decline over the same period. Other rivalries include smaller local derbies with lower-division teams [[Wiktoria Frémenwerd]] and [[Khunyeria Vremenverda]]. The Kickers also maintain a long-running competitive rivalry with [[Wiktoría Zalgisbeck]], [[Zalgisbeck|the northern metropolis]]' most successful team, although this is far friendlier than the rivalry with Rapid.


Beginning in the 1970s, many scholars and public officials began to call into question the necessity of the Deric States organization given the existence of the [[Levantine Union]], which was established with many of the goals and functions as the Deric States on a larger scale. In the 1970s and 80s, many of the internal organs of the Deric States ceased to function, having given over their role to similar bodies within the Levantine Union. Two extremely prominent examples exist within the Deric States' structure. The first, relatively obscure body is the Council for Tariff and Trade Protection which intended to regulate the entire Deric States as one trading unit. While the Council still exists officially, it did not hold any official meetings after February 4 1962 and the Deric States ceased to distinguish itself from the rest of the Union as a matter of trade policy. The second and more prominent body that was superseded was the Confederation Defense Force (CDF), which served as the official armed forces as the Deric States until its constituent parts were largely integrated into the Coordinating Office of Dericanian Forces (CODF), a part of the [[Levantine Union Defense Council]]. The Deric States CDF continued to serve in the 2020s, but its defense jurisdiction solely consisted of [[Alba Concordia]] and began to be primarily associated with that city rather than with the Deric States as a whole.
The club retains a large international following, and its frequent presence in continental competition has sparked both rivalries and friendships abroad, among them a particularly close relationship with the fans of [Yonderian club] - the two clubs frequently host testimonial matches for each others' long-serving players, and competitive continental meetings are almost always an occasion for reunions and mutual respect regardless of results on the pitch.

In 2002, activist organizations from across the Deric States merged into an organization known as "Movement for Mediatization in the 21st Century", popularly shortened to "21MEDNOW". 21MEDNOW began to conduct both lobbying efforts with Dericanian governments as well as popular, grassroots agitation.

==Notes==
By 2015, polling indicated that, on average, 35 to 40% of residents of the Deric States supported the dissolution of the organization and further mediatization of its member states.

==Secession of the Vandarch Republic==

[[Category:Hendalarsk]]
On 8 March [[2023]], the [[Vandarch Republic]] informed the [[Levantine Union]] that it intended to leave the Deric States and become a standalone member of the Levantine Union. The decision to leave lead to large popular demonstrations across [[Dericania]] organized by 21MEDNOW calling on its leaders to change the post-Great War geopolitical arrangements of the region. This triggered a diplomatic crisis among leaders of the Deric States, which met in a series of informal conferences and meetings in [[Corcra]] beginning in July of 2023. These meetings, commonly known as the "Congress of Corcra", failed to reach any cohesive answer, and in April of 2024 the ambassadors were asked to leave the city following the breakdown of negotiations.

With the [[Deric States]] playing a minor role in the immediate diplomatic aftermath of the [[Final War of the Deluge]], popular mediatization efforts temporarily lost priority in some of the Deric States, cooling tensions and the pace of dissolution. However, many of its members held elections in 2025 in which the dissolution was a key issue, any many pro-dissolution elements won across the Deric States in part due to 21MEDNOW support.
 
==Secession of Lutsana==
On 14 August [[2026]], [[Lutsana]] informed the [[Levantine Union]] that it, like the [[Vandarch Republic]], would be leaving the [[Deric States]] and would becoming a standalone member of the Levantine Union. Unlike the Vandarch Republic's decision, it announced its withdrawal would be immediate. The decision to remain in the Deric States was a major issue in the 2025 Lutsanan elections, and the new government - formed in part by the Orenstian People's Revival Party - made withdrawal its top priority.
