The Scipianist ideology seeks to promote the commonalities of the central Scipian nations it terms the "Scipian Core". Broadly, the peoples of the Scipian Core are possessing shared cultural influences from the [[Deshret|ancient Deshritic civilization]] centered in the northern and central Adjer mountains of what is now mid-eastern Charnea with colonies spanning as far south as the Agala highlands and Magkato plateau in eastern Itayana. The Scipian Core also formed the imperial core of the Ihemodian state which occupied the whole of the Ninva desert as well as the Karana basin from 1375 to 1548 and deeply influenced the institutions and culture of its core regions. The Scipian Core is the main point of contention which defines the internal divisions of the Scipianist ideology. Specifically, there is division over which common aspects of the Core are emphasized which determines which peoples and entities align with the Scipianist ideals and which do not. Two main camps exist within Scipianism, one which places emphasis on the cultural and religious influences of Deshret and the ethnic ties between the central Scipian peoples, and another which emphasizes the shared historical experiences and institutions of the former Ihemodian imperial core and views the Scipianist ideology as a modern revival of the Ihemodian imperial culture, which itself integrated Deshritic influences. The latter camp is predominantly found in Charnean Scipianist circles, while the former is common all across central Scipia. | |||

Scipianism is an indigenist cultural and political movement of the Ninvite and Karanite regions of central Scipia, a region also known as the Scipian core. Proponents of Scipianist thought posit that every ethnos native to the Scipian core is part of an ancient Scipian civilization that is distinct and separate from the Latin-dominated Periclean coast, the Pulaui-dominated Ozeros, and the Rezese-dominated southwest Scipia. Scipianism proposes that the Scipian civilizational identity should supersede ethnicity and religion, and that a unified Ur-Scipian community of nations should be established to promote this civilization and protect it from the foreign domination that has characterized the ancient and modern histories of the Scipian continent. Many strands of Scipianism exist, primarily drawing from the Karanite philosophy of "Acting Oneness" and the ideological fringes of the Charnean Nationalist movement that was itself influenced by Revolutionary Syndicalism and Invictist thought.

The Scipianist ideology seeks to promote the commonalities of the central Scipian nations it terms the "Scipian Core".

Unification
The main political objective of all Scipianist movements is the political unification of the Scipian Core.

Scipianism by country
Charnea
Makgato Federation
Origins of Scipianism in the Itayana region can be traced to the Ninvite War and the governorate involvement through the Thundering Elephant Army. Within the Amayana Makgato Federation, the Scipianism played a background role until the Central Karana War. AMF failure shattered the hopes of an apolitical secular unification of the Itayana through military means but also provided an impetus for the Scipianist thought to enter mainstream, particularly after the adoption of 2012 Statute of Airashe.
AMF Scipianist thought is centered around the Institute for Scipian Studies in Airashe, composed partially of the officers of the Makgato Defense Force and partially of civilian intellectuals. It is known to have conducted several expeditions into the ancient Deshret and the hypothetical "Deshret Trail", a series of pathways and population centers linking Deshret to the Makgato plateau. Archaeological work on the Makgato plateau itself is also conducted; it was inferred that it was done with a quiet collaboration with the Solar Temple of Yanbango, providing an intellectual linkage between the divided parts of the Karana Basin.
Makgato Scipianism is centered around the concept of passionarity, an energetic theory postulating cyclical development of the ethnoses dependant on the stellar flashes and climatic events. Said theory is combined with the ethno-energetic interaction theory, formulating a complex system of interactions between ethnoses on various stages of passionarity cycle, to form a historical picture of the Scipian Core.
