With the [[Deric States]] playing a minor role in the immediate diplomatic aftermath of the [[Final War of the Deluge]], popular mediatization efforts temporarily lost priority in some of the Deric States, cooling tensions and the pace of dissolution. However, many of its members held elections in 2025 in which the dissolution was a key issue, any many pro-dissolution elements won across the Deric States in part due to 21MEDNOW support. | With the [[Deric States]] playing a minor role in the immediate diplomatic aftermath of the [[Final War of the Deluge]], popular mediatization efforts temporarily lost priority in some of the Deric States, cooling tensions and the pace of dissolution.

With public pressure mounting and two states already having seceded from the organization, Deric States leaders decided to convene the [[Deric_States#Structure|Confederated Council of Dericania]] in [[2028]] to deal with the ongoing crisis. The Council, which had not met since 1988, convened in January of 2028 with the intention of preserving the union if possible. The Council instituted a series of reforms intended to keep the Deric States relevant, including the dissolution of a considerable part of its depreciated bureaucratic institutions. The Council also drafted and adopted a statement stating that it was the intention of itself and its members to preserve the confederation, stating that only the confederation could continue to represent the disparate interests of its many members and that a failure to keep Dericania unified had | With public pressure mounting and two states already having seceded from the organization, Deric States leaders decided to convene the [[Deric_States#Structure|Confederated Council of Dericania]] in [[2028]] to deal with the ongoing crisis.

The reforms had a net negative effect on the confederation's long term prospects. The dissolution of most of the organization's institutional bureaucracy not only lead to some individuals being laid off, but in the popular imagination it was viewed as a concession that the confederation did not have a meaningful role to play in the 21st century. The "historic defeats" language was greatly unpopular throughout Dericania, with one noted activist calling the language an "irresponsible relic of the past" and a "baseless assault on our deeply held alliance with [[Urcea]] and [[Burgundie]]". Domestic political concerns in all of the Deric States lead to the preservation statement being disavowed by the States which had recently ratified it. | The reforms had a net negative effect on the confederation's long term prospects.

By early [[2029]], after the "historic defeats" statement and nearly a decade of agitating, polls indicated a majority of residents of the remaining Deric States believed the organization was "antiquated", and a large majority for the first time felt that a final round of mediatization within a [[Levantine Union]] context was necessary. The political pressure to these ends grew significantly in 2029, and by August 2029 [[Vorenia]] was the first of the Deric States to pass a resolution calling on the further consolidation of [[Derian_identity#Lapodards|Lapodardian]] speaking people, either by means of the "dissolution of the Vorenian state...or by its expansion...or by any other means". | By early [[2029]], after the "historic defeats" statement and nearly a decade of agitating, polls indicated a majority of residents of the remaining Deric States believed the organization was "antiquated", and a large majority for the first time felt that a final round of mediatization within a [[Levantine Union]] context was necessary.
