Rhotia: Difference between revisions

The Third Fratricide was a conflict between liberal-nationalist coalitions in [[Dericania]] and socialist revolutionaries that occurred immediately following the end of the Dericanian phase of the [[Second Great War]], known in Dericania as the Second Fratricide. Moreso than Lapody, the Fratricide had a specific, long-lasting political and cultural impact on Rhotia; it was affected by longer lasting socialist rule throughout various parts of its constituent states. This phenomenon, known as the "pink tide", saw more than half of modern Rhotia's land area being part of socialist governing authorities during the conflict. These influences significantly affected Rhotians' ideas about economic and social organization. Workers cooperatives established by the socialist provisional governments were partly effective and very popular especially among rural workers in sectors other than agriculture.

Of all of the [[Deric States]], Allaria had the least historic precedent of all of the new countries, and unlike the other eight Deric States it did not have a direct antecedent to which it could point to. Principally, the Republic was comprised of four different duchies of roughly equal size (Cauga, Asisa, Raganz, and Lente) and standing as well as a number of peripheral lands from various smaller entities. The name Allaria was taken from a [[Great Levantia]]-era tribe of [[Gothic people|Goths]] which occupied the area, the ''Allards''. Given its construction, the state had significant cohesion problems throughout its early existence. The state was the primary ideological enemy of [[Derian identity|Derian nationalists]], who viewed it as something of an abomination and half-step on the way to full Deric nationalism. In [[1963]], the state was subject to a coup by Deric nationalists in the military, who were subsequently removed from power by a joint [[Urcea|Urco]]-[[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] military operation. From 1963 onward, the state was functionally disarmed. Relative domestic harmony only came in the [[1980]]s, as a full generation of Allarian-born nationals began to take positions of authority and cultural influence. Nationbuilding was weakest of all in Allaria, as almost all of the residents immediately began to cling to a Rhotian-language based identity in the [[1990]]s and early [[2000]]s due to the complete lack of a shared "Allarian" national history. Allarian delegates, despite their enthusiasm for joining together in a Rhotian state, were more reluctant than the Corcrans, who were first, largely because of their own previous experience with amalgamating a state from unrelated parts.
