Scipianism is a socio-cultural movement promoting ties of brotherhood and cooperation within a defined central Scipian cultural polity of the Ninva desert and Karana river basin which is seen as distinct from the coastal Scipian civilizations of the Latin-dominated Periclean coast, the Pulaui-dominated Ozeros, and the Rezese-dominated southwest Scipia. The end goal of the Scipianist ideology is the political unification of the central Scipian socio-cultural space typically defined as the modern Charnean Republic, the Amayana Makgato Federation, and the Itayana Solar Autocracy under a single political entity capable of resisting the domination of all foreign influences and asserting itself as a fully independent geopolitical player, reviving the suppressed central Scipian civilization embodied by the ancient Deshrian Kingdoms of central Charnea and eastern Itayana as well as the medieval Ihemodian Ninvite state. Politically, Scipianism can be considered an offshoot of the Pan-Ninvaist current of Charnean nationalism that has been heavily influenced by the ideology of "Acting Oneness", combining the ethno-cultural nationalism of the Charnean variety which espouses the unity of all peoples of the Deshret-centric central Scipian civilization together with the Amayana ideology of achieving political unification of brother peoples through any military or diplomatic means necessary.

Scipian Core

The Scipianist ideology sees 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 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 1625 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.
