Rhotia emerged from [[Dericania]], a region in east-central Levantia long associated with the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] and with the [[Latinic people|Latinic]] heartland of [[Great Levantia]] before it. The northern portions of Dericania shared a common language, Rhotian, which emerged from Latin in a distinct form by the 9th and 10th centuries. The Rhotian-speaking lands were divided into hundreds of feudal units that were part of the Holy Levantine Empire until the 19th century, when a process known as mediatization - which included both diplomatic consolidations and significant warfare - began to gradually reduce the number of constituent parts of the Empire. During this period, Rhotians became associated with [[Derian identity]], a nationalist concept which claimed a common nation of Dericania. Nationalists of the Derian movement launched a major uprising that began the [[Second Great War]] in Levantia. Rhotia was briefly part of a nominal [[Deric Republic]] established by the nationalists before they were ultimately defeated. Following the defeat, a conflict known as the [[Third Fratricide]] divided Dericania between moderate nationalists, who enjoyed international support, and socialist insurrectionaries. Out of the wake of that conflict, five states were established in what is today Rhotia. The five - Allaria, Corcra, Orclenia, Kronenia, and Vineisa - all were established as new states which formally consolidated many predecessor Imperial subject entities. All five adopted Rhotian as a national language, beginning the cultural process of Rhotianization, or the dismissal of the notion of a Derian identity in favor of a Rhotian identity. | Rhotia emerged from [[Dericania]], a region in east-central Levantia long associated with the [[Holy Levantine Empire]] and with the [[Latinic people|Latinic]] heartland of [[Great Levantia]] before it.

The Third Fratricide had a specific, long-lasting political and cultural impact on Rhotia. Moreso than [[Lapody]], it was affected by longer lasting socialist rule throughout various parts of its constituent states. These influences significantly affected Rhotians' ideas about economic and social organization. | |||
