In the 2000s and 2010s, Rhotian identity became a preeminent social force in the country, though Rhotians lagged significantly behind neighboring [[Hollona and Diorisia]] in the process of the [[Dissolution of the Deric States|dissolution of the Deric States]]. When the Vandarch Republic left the organization in [[2023]], it caused significant anxiety and social confusion within the five Rhotian-speaking states, accelerating the process of consolidation. Unlike the Lapod state-led process of unification, in Rhotia the process was largely activist-driven. Calls for unification among social groups, particularly [[Dissolution_of_the_Deric_States#Activist_efforts_prior_to_2020|21MEDNOW]], were resisted by some of the governments, particularly those of Orclenia, Kronenia, and Allaria. In these countries, a concerted effort beginning in [[2028]] led to no-confidence motions suceeding against government leaders in early [[2029]]. | In the 2000s and 2010s, Rhotian identity became a preeminent social force in the country, though Rhotians lagged significantly behind neighboring [[Hollona and Diorisia]] in the process of the [[Dissolution of the Deric States|dissolution of the Deric States]].

The pace of what would come next surprised most international observers and scholars alike. Snap elections were called in all three countries, returning majorities in all three for the 21MEDNOW-aligned Rhotian Nationalist Party (RNP). Following the final victory on 2 September 2029, the RNP issued a proclamation of a Rhotian nation, swiftly adopted by all three countries and Corcra soon after by the end of September. On 4 October, the four countries signed an agreement bringing themselves together as a single sovereign federal entity called the Rhotian Provisional Republic. The legislative bodies of all four countries sent half of their members to serve as a provisional National Assembly with the remaining half serving as provisional provincial governments. Issues relating to the legal status of the city of [[Corcra (City)|Corcra]] emerged almost immediately, with legal memos passing between the new Provisional Government and the [[Levantine Union]] due to that city's status as seat of the Union. Resolving the Corcra situation became the top priority of the government, and in [[Dissolution_of_the_Deric_States#Status_of_Corcra|February of 2030]] a small portion of the historic core of Corcra was ceded to the Union with the vast majority of the city becoming part of Rhotia. For a time, Rhotia was not recognized by the [[Deric States]] organization, whose representatives were primarily pre-no-confident government appointees. During [[2030]] and early [[2031]], Rhotia drafted and adopted a federal constitution, holding its first full elections on 14 January [[2031]]. The Deric States was compelled to recognize Rhotia, along with the new neighboring state of [[Lapody]], in February 2031. Both states attempted, for a time, to remain bound together as a two-member organization in a strategy called the [[Dissolution_of_the_Deric_States#The_"middle_course"|middle course]]. However, the organization failed to expand beyond its original redundant scope and was dissolved on 17 January 2032. Rhotia took its place as a full equal of the other Levantine Union states at that time, and a millennia of history came to an end as no formal Dericania-wide organization or polity existed, ending a string of realms dating to the establishment of the [[Eastern Levantine Kingdom]] in [[917]]. | The pace of what would come next surprised most international observers and scholars alike.

The Corcra issue being resolved removed most of the controversy and uncertainty regarding the Levantine Union's view of the new state, and consequently Vinesia agreed to join Rhotia as the fifth province on 1 March [[2030]]. | ||
