Umunna (Mwo term meaning familyhood) is a Majulan conception of statehood and form of socio-political, economic and cultural organisation. Having its roots in the indigenous republican and democratic institutions of the various precolonia village and city-state federations that inhabited the continent, Umunna distinguishes itself from monarchy in that power is not pased down by hereditary lineage and from Asuran republicanism by its strong emphasis on political decentralization down to the municipal level within a federal context, subsidiarity and direct democracy for local issues, popular control over elected representatives through recall, directorialism, communalism, and collective ownership, management and distribution of resources.

The political system first emerged in the late 19th century and associated with the early far-left factions of the Rally for Majulan Independence and the writings of the faction's most prominent leader, Chukwuemeka Obibuzor, a pan-Majulan nationalist and political theorist. His ideas where soon adopted by the Revolutionary Liberation Front in Odo where it became the country's presiding political system following independence. Today the political system is often associated with Majulan Socialism and the larger post-colonial indigenisation movement. Given its emphasis on decentralized collective authority and self-management Umunna as often been characterized as Libertarian socialist, but has also been compared to third way or even third positionism due to its emphasis on culture and nationalist tendencies, generally incorporating ideas from across the political spectrum.
