The Kingdom as a distinct entity began as the "Eastern Kingdom of the Levantines", which remained the official name of the entity from its establishment in 917 until the late 11th century. During this time, it was popularly referred to in [[Urcea]] and elsewhere by [[Gaelic people]] as the "''thoir''" land, or the eastern land. By about 1000, the Kingdom was said to be "''thoiric''", or "eastern", which developed by 1050 into the term for the region "Toricania" and eventually "Dericania" as a derivative.

While historians distinguish the [[Eastern Kingdom of the Levantines]], founded in [[917]] upon the death of [[Emperor of the Levantines|Emperor]] Brian III, from the Kingdom of Dericania, the two crowns were the same, with the name changing as Eastern King of the Levantines, [[Emperor Leo I of the Holy Levantine Empire|King Leo]], reforging the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] in [[965]]. While the [[Emperor of the Levantines]] used Dericania and its crown possession, [[Corcra (City)|Corcra]], as a successful base of power from the 10th to the 14th century, the Kingdom mostly devolved into an area with the least central authority in the Empire by the 1400s.

Several reasons are cited for the decline in crown power, but the fall primarily came the demise of the {{wp|stem duchies}} dependent on Imperial support and the rise of hundreds of varied dynastic estates made the Kingdom administratively unwieldy and difficulty to govern. While several attempts at reform were made in the 1490s, lack of central authority was permanently established because of the {{wp|Protestant Reformation}}. Despite its lack of tangible political authority, Dericania was by far considered the most prestigious of the constituent Kingdoms of the [[Holy Levantine Empire]], and a majority of [[List of Emperors of the Levantines|Emperors of the Levantines]] were elected from Dericania.

The Kingdom of Dericania was dissolved with the [[Emperor of the Levantines]] relinquishing authority over it in 1935, leading to a period of fragile peace characterized by domestic chaos and infighting between former principalities. Following the end of the [[Great War]], the former parts of the Kingdom of Dericania reformed into the [[Deric States]], a loose confederation of many former states of Dericania which had consolidated during the war.

The Kingdom of Dericania was a constituent Kingdom of the Holy Levantine Empire, and for much of the Empire's existence it was the seat of the Emperor of the Levantines in Corcra, where the Imperial Diet and Collegial Electorate met. Characterized by dozens , sometimes hundreds of principalities, the Kingdom of Dericania drove many of the political concerns within the Empire during the Early Modern Period through the Late Modern Period, including during the Great Confessional War, the Caroline Wars, and finally during the Second Great War, where various nationalists, liberals, and socialists attempted to achieve Derian nationhood, beginning the first phase of the conflict. These groups formed the Deric Republic to replace the ancient Kingdom apparatus with a unified wartime state.
