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. After several stages, it resulted in the consolidation of [[Lapody]] and [[Rhotia]] and the separation of | 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. After several stages, it resulted in the consolidation of [[Lapody]] and [[Rhotia]] and the separation of the [[Vandarch Republic]] from the rest of the former Deric States. Modern scholars and observers have posited that the dissoltion may be the final resolution to the question of [[Derian identity]]. | ||

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. | 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.

With public pressure mounting and two states already having seceded from the organization, Deric States leaders decided to convene the [[Deric_States#Structure|Confederated Council of Dericania]] in [[2028]] to deal with the ongoing crisis. The Council, which had not met since 1988, convened in January of 2028 with the intention of preserving the union if possible. The Council instituted a series of reforms intended to keep the Deric States relevant, including the dissolution of a considerable part of its depreciated bureaucratic institutions. The Council also drafted and adopted a statement stating that it was the intention of itself and its members to preserve the confederation, stating that only the confederation could continue to represent the disparate interests of its many members and that a failure to keep Dericania unified had lead to its "historic defeats". | With public pressure mounting and two states already having seceded from the organization, Deric States leaders decided to convene the [[Deric_States#Structure|Confederated Council of Dericania]] in [[2028]] to deal with the ongoing crisis.

As "consolidation fever" swept [[Dericania]] in [[2029]] and [[2030]], concerns about the future status of [[Corcra]] became a major political issue both in Dericania and in the [[Levantine Union Diet]]. Although the state of Corcra primarily spoke Rhotian, since the time of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] the city of [[Corcra (City)|Corcra]] was a multi-linguistic, multi-ethnic city which had served as the Empire's political center and the administrative center of the [[Levantine Union]]. Although nationalist sentiments never reached the point of violence, Rhotian national advocates argued it was the heart of Rhotian culture and could not be separated from the rest of the Rhotian state. Following negotiations with local authorities and the Rhotian Provisional Government, the Levantine Union Diet passed the Administrative Center Act in [[2031]]. The Act carved out two segments of the city, the historic "Imperial Quarter" and the "Foreign Quarter", into sovereign Levantine Union territory known as the Union District, governed directly by a committee of the Levantine Union Diet. The Imperial Quarter included the ancient historic sites as well as the administrative and government buildings of the Levantine Union, and the Foreign Quarter included the various consulates attached to the Levantine Union's administrative apparatus in addition to many of the homes of Union personnel. The Rhotian Provisional Government signed the Imperial Palace Accord on XMONTH, XX, 20XX, which formally annexed [[Corcra]] and ceded the Union District to the Levantine Union in a single act. | As "consolidation fever" swept [[Dericania]] in [[2029]] and [[2030]], concerns about the future status of [[Corcra]] became a major political issue both in Dericania and in the [[Levantine Union Diet]].

As consolidation and mediatization reached a broad conclusion that resulted in the establishment of [[Rhotia]] and [[Lapody]] as independent states, both states continued to pursue the idea of preserving the Deric States in some form, and accordingly the [[Deric_States#Structure|Confederated Council of Dericania]] - still made up of representatives of the former Deric member nations - voted in February 2031 to recognize Lapody and Rhotia as members of the Deric States before voting to remove themselves from the Council and replace themselves with three representatives each from the two member states. The reconstituted council, largely made up of the same individuals as before, pledged a "middle course" - preservation of the Deric States in some form even in a post-mediatization world. Popular attitutdes in both nations generally regarded the other with warm feelings, and so a special bond continuing between the two had broad support. As a two-member organization would be quickly sidelined in the name of more direct bilateral relations, this middle course was partly predicated on the idea of reincorporating | As consolidation and mediatization reached a broad conclusion that resulted in the establishment of [[Rhotia]] and [[Lapody]] as independent states, both states continued to pursue the idea of preserving the Deric States in some form, and accordingly the [[Deric_States#Structure|Confederated Council of Dericania]] - still made up of representatives of the former Deric member nations - voted in February 2031 to recognize Lapody and Rhotia as members of the Deric States before voting to remove themselves from the Council and replace themselves with three representatives each from the two member states.

As a two-member organization would be quickly sidelined in the name of more direct bilateral relations, this middle course was partly predicated on the idea of reincorporating [[Hollona and Diorisia]], and possibly even [[Burgundie]] into the organization, creating a form of [[Dericania]]-wide cultural organization. The three nations all rejected these overtures, with the former two stating that the time for integration beyond that provided by the [[Levantine Union]] was past. [[Burgundie]] did not respond at all. | ||
