The Kingdom was established as a result of the unification of Verecundia, Loreseia, and Vorenia, three constituent members of the [[Deric States]] following the [[Dissolution of the Deric States|dissolution of that entity]]. The idea of a unified Lapodard-speaking nation found its origin in the 1990s, following [[Derian_identity#End_of_Derianism|the growth of internet interest in Lapodard culture]] in the previous decade. Lapody's emergent national identity finds its roots not only in its shared language, but the legacy of the Grand Duchy of Verecundia, an important power in the [[Kingdom of Dericania]] in the 17th and 18th centuries. Lapody retains many of the martial traditions and orientation of its predecessor state Vorenia, while being ruled by a branch of the House of Galen, which ruled the Grand Duchy of Verecundia at its height. As a nation, Lapody is still in the process of building a cohesive national culture and identity, but it retains the strong political culture present in its predecessors and throughout the [[Levantine Union]]. | |||
