Separatism

Separatism, also commonly known as Secessionism and Souverainism, is a form of   that seeks to establish a nation, country, sovereign state, or government that is separate from a already existing nation and exists to serve as the nation, country, government or sovereign state of a specific group. It is an incredibly broad ideology that believes that minority groups in a society are at risk of losing identity. Groups such as linguistic, ethnic, cultural, religious, tribal, racial, ethnolinguistic, gender, and even political groups concentrated in an area that is controlled by an 'oppressive' nation, whose governance or majority populace is not belonging to the minority group of the area, should be separated, the land containing the minority should be able to have their own nation. This is the principle of self-determination that Separatism vehemently supports.

Personality and Behaviour
Separatism is portrayed as patriotic and overzealous, but towards the nation that they believe should separate, not the nation currently in control of his land. They are quick to criticize anyone who suggests that their land is a part of another nation or that they citizens are citizens of a 'foreign' country. For example, they display a behavior akin to what Québécois nationalists would do if someone called them Canadian, or what a Catalan nationalist would do if someone called them Spanish, or if someone suggested that Québec was simply a province of Canada or if someone called Catalonia a region of Spain. Or even if someone said Kosovo is Serbia or said that Kosovars are Serbian. Separatism would become extremely aggravated in such scenarios.

Other than that, they get along with ideologies that want to form separate nations for their groups. This ideology often discusses self-determination and how it is a human right.

How to Draw
Flag of Separatism.svg
 * 1) Draw a ball
 * 2) The ball will be split vertically into two hemispheres/sides
 * 3) One will have a flag facing away from the center and the same style as [[File:Nation.png]]
 * 4) The other side should have the same flag facing away from the center, but with the colors of Nationalism swapped, having an orange flag on black
 * 5) The flag poles should touch the bottom of the ball, and notably be separate from each other.
 * 6) Draw the eyes
 * 7) And you're done!

Friends

 * [[File:AnInde.png]] - My anarchist and leftist brethren who supports the same stuff as I do.
 * Post-Colonial Anarchism - You sir, are based. Basically me but even more anti-racist and anarchist.
 * [[File:Ethplur.png]] - Finally! A nation state for every ethnicity, this guy gets it.
 * Indigenous Anarchism.png Indigenous Anarchism - It's time that indigenous groups get their independence! True self-determination comes from not being under a foreign majority.
 * [[File:Natan.png]] - Eh, you don't focus very much on the important stuff, like independence for every group, but at least you want it. But yeesh, all you anarchists should stop telling independent people groups how to run their own nation, let them forge their own path! (But Post-Colonial anarchism is still better)
 * Alter-Globalism - Most based globalist I have ever seen. Supports oppressed groups for self-determination and protecting their culture while also supporting eachother via mutural aid.

Frenemies

 * [[File:Nation.png]] - Stop trying to assimilate minorities and make sure groups stay separate! We need every group to be of utmost importance to their own nation, but not trample over others so they can have self-determination too.
 * [[File:World.png]] - Stop it with all that unity stuff, nations should be separating and getting independence! Although... sometimes we might need economic and military help across the world to do it.
 * [[File:Cosmo.png]] - You're right in some ways, we should have no group ruling over other minorities. And we should acknowledge each nationality's equal right to have their own nation. But Pan-Nationalism is the worst! I will respect other nationalities from afar, not meld with them!
 * [[File: Prog.png]] Progressivism [[File:Prgess.png]] - Well, supporting minority groups is based, but the only right that matters is their right to form their nation and have independence! Other than that, don't tell our new independent nations how to behave, they don't need to be progressive, they'll use self-determination to forge their own path.

Enemies

 * [[File:Multicult.png]] - At least you have some good intentions by respecting all groups, but forcing people groups to be together deteriorates their identity! Everyone deserves their homeland and identity separate from all the rest.
 * [[File:Pan-Nat.png]] Pan-Nationalism - Trying to unite nations and countries into less rather than separating them into more is absolutely despicable.
 * [[File:Irridentism.png]] - One of my arch-nemesis, tries to reverse my progress of getting people independence! Stop conquering those poor minorities, they deserve their homeland too!
 * [[File:Imp.png]] - Extremely glad that you're era of rule is over, this should never even be thought of! Subjugating those poor minorities is the opposite of giving them freedom to have their own nation!
 * [[File:Jingoism.png]] - Now this is just sick, you've gotta respect people's right to self-determination, to each nation, their own!
 * [[File:Ultranat.png]] - Wanting independence, being proud of your nation and sharing its identity is good nationalism, but you want your national group to trample over all the others, not cool, the worst nationalism.
