The State of Vinesia was formed in [[1945]] through the appending of nine counties and free cities to the Duchy of Vinesia, all of whom shared a historic relationship. | |||
Vinesia was largely culturally distinctive from the rest of the Rhotian-speaking states. Though it remained in the [[Deric States]] throughout that organization's entire existence, it had cultural reservations similar to those of [[Hollona and Diorisia]]. Vinesians, though Rhotian-speaking, were largely genetically and ethnically more similar to [[Fiannria|Fiannans]] than other Rhotian speakers, making it an outlier among the Deric States. In the [[1950]]s and [[1960]]s, Vinesia remained largely aloof from the Deric States and pursued closer relations with Fiannria. However, the [[Levantine Union]]'s open borders allowed significant cultural exchange between all of its members that had previously not existed, even within the [[Holy Levantine Empire]]. Gradually, Vinesians began to cling more to their other Rhotian-speaking neighbors, and Vinesia fell out of Fiannria's cultural orbit and into Corcra's during the 1980s. Politically, Vinesia was the smallest member of the Levantine Union and Deric States, and it began to side more closely with other small Rhotian-speaking states on the global stage and in the [[Levantine Union Diet]] to protect its interests. Though the Vinesians could not relate to the newly emerging solidarity between Rhotians, it definitely identified distinctive elements of their culture in the early internet era that drew Vinesians into contrast with both Lapods and Fiannans. | |||
