Pan-Skagism is a social and political ideology advocating the union of Skagish people under a single nation-state, usually named Skagaland. Various groups espousing the ideology have aligned with revolutionary, socialist, nationalist, and republican principles. Pan-Skagism often advocates secularism, recognizing the religious diversity of Skagish peoples across continents, and promotes the concept of "One Nation, One People, One Republic" (Eitt Land, Eitt Fólk, Eitt Lýðveldi). Theorists and academics advocating Pan-Skagism have often referred to the Skagish people as a "snake split into pieces" that can only survive once joined together. It furthermore calls for Skagic peoples in states where they are a minority to revolt and seek self determination.
The Skagish Empire once controlled almost the entire Northern Coast of Belisaria, with territory stretching from Velikoslavia to the Eastern coast of Ghant. Further colonial ventures and migrations established significant Skagish populations in Norumbia, most notably in Gristol-Serkonos. As such, Skagish peoples, if considered a single ethnic group, form one of the largest ethnic groups in The World. Pan-Skagists often consider the united republic a spiritual revival of the ancient Empire, and consider the splintering of Skagish peoples as "The Great Tragedy" (Harmleikur). Pan-Skagists contrast this historical glory with the present day, with the majority of Skagic states being relatively poorer compared to, and often politically subservient to the states to the South.
The modern ideology of Pan-Skagism traces its roots to the early 20th century, with a surge in popular sentiment of closer relations among Skagish nations coinciding with the rise of nationalism in Belisaria. Various authors, poets, and artists wrote about the unity of Skagish peoples under a united Skagaland with a romantic nationalist theme, famously with Aureumterran author Anders Egge proclaiming a union from the "Mountains to the Forest," a slogan often used by Pan-Skagists since. Numerous groups ascribing to the ideology arose throughout the mid-20th century in the backdrop of the First Partisans' War and Second Partisans' War, such as Young Skagaland which formed as a student group in Aureumterra during the Third Nielsian Era.
Pan-Skagism has been repressed in the majority of the Skagic states, due to its republican and often socialist adherents being seen as a threat to the established monarchies. Militant Pan-Skagist groups such as the Skagish Social Front have been responsible for numerous terrorist attacks and participation in low level insurgencies. The ideology has seen a rise in popularity in the 21st century with a revival of many of the grievances against the percieved dominance of the Southern states and economic disparities between Northern and Southern Belisaria.
