Pan-Tiberianism

Pan-Tiberianism is a set of ideological teachings around the Tiberian continent, its political and economic unity, and its stability to prevent wars between its peoples. As the biggest continent in Abexilas, Tiberia is known for diverse geography, vibrant cultures and a long history of a struggle against foreign outsiders, most prominent of which was the fight against the exonym “Norvinia”, used by foreign powers to name the continent. It's an official ideology of the Tiberian Commonwealth, as well as several nations such as the Tyahil Commonwealth, Vladist Republic of Vladistan and Merkonis. 
Pan-Tiberianism is known to have multiple variants, which are prominent in different nations of the continent, though the premise of a united continent still keeps them together. The Tiberian Commonwealth is the prime flag bearer of Pan-Tiberianism, regarded as the forefront confederation for keeping peace and stability on the continent. Although numerous Tiberian countries, represented by their leaders, have contributed to overall Pan-Tiberianism, Khyu Vaslawiya Tiberian was the first to formalize the goals and principles of the Tiberian continent, backed by uncovered ancient Tiberian literature as well as numerous studies. 
==History==
Pan-Tiberianism is commonly agreed to have had its foundations within the first mentions of Tiberia as a continent. Ancient literature, uncovered by Tyahilian expeditions, mentions that the modern-day continents of Tiberia, Caerus and Tanragh were socially connected by a united people under an ancient figure known as Tihbor. Tiberia’s name is assumed to have come from Tihbor, proven by Khyu Vaslawiya Tiberian, bringing up an example that in Tyahilian and other local languages, endonyms for the continent name are pronounced "T-ee-beria" [ti:.bəɹ.ja] and “T-ekh-beria” [tex.be.ri.ja], a fairly close resemblance to Tihbor’s name. The literature found by Tyahil talks about Tiberia before and after a “foreigner invasion”, presumed to have been a colonial expedition by an empire from Talasi. The 3 continents of Tiberia, Caerus and Tanragh are mentioned as 3 different lands split by sons of Tihbor: Tihver, Tsarus and Tanrakh, from which the names Caerus and Tanragh are believed to come. 
With the passing of Iristor’s Comet and the beginning of Voyager's Era, Tiberia was rapidly changed, as the first political states were formed. Throughout Abexilas, the continent began to be referred to as “Norvinia”, an exonym spread by the first foreign powers that began claiming land on the continent. The source of this exonym is noted by Khyu to be a region north of Tiberia, called Orvinia. Continental diplomacy was split apart by two camps, which didn't initially cooperate. Eventually, the first agreements were made, and the situation on the continent stabilized. 
Nations such as Vladistan, Tyahil, Maecenia, Sonderia and a few others would lead the Tiberian Council through the turbulence of first land conflicts and overcome the Norvinian camp, culminating within the first Tiberian summit, held during the Spring of 19 VE, in Padapiv-Yandredal’, Tyahil. From that point on, exonym Norvinia became phased out and is only used by non-Tiberian nations, mostly opponents of Pan-Tiberianism. Another prominent organisation for Pan-Tiberianism became the Tiberian League - a defensive pact signed by most Tiberian nations. The Tiberian League would go on to guarantee security and stability of the continent and it’s peoples, adopting Pan-Tiberian ideals. 
Pan-Tiberianism as an ideology would become documented in literature by Khyu Vaslawiya Tiberian, upon release of his second published works in the Fall of 47 VE. Within the documentations, Khyu would bring up the aforementioned ancient literature, as well as geographical, social and political studies of the continent, coming to a conclusion that the overall north of Abexilas form a united “Greater Tiberian Supercontinent” (also referred to as Tan-Tiberus). Key leaders of the Tiberian League nations such as Mikhail Istvan, Galaxia Xi Nosterri and Khyu would also come to adopt the Tiberian title within their names. Their respective nations of Vladistan, Vhagaria and Tyahil enacted Pan-Tiberianism as official ideology, though in different variants, also present in other Tiberian nations. 
The peak of Pan-Tiberianism would begin with the transformation of the Tiberian Council and League into the Tiberium, a confederation of Tiberian nations, united in one front against Sahriyan aggression, shown by their support of Nordisium and Corry against Vladistan. Within its formation in 62 VE, The Tiberium declared total war of retaliation against expansionism and colonialism espoused by Sahriya, Corry and Beepeck, which were cooperating on defending Nordisium. This unification started an unexpected rise in patriotism and courage among Tiberian citizens, which were awaiting action to be taken against the aggressors. Several international powers would also come to support the Tiberium as one of first continents to fight back against colonialism. 
Following the dissolution of the Tiberium, Pan-Tiberianism began to decline in popularity in several Tiberian nations, most notably in the Empire of Vhagaria where the religion of Vhagarian Mysticism replaced Pan-Tiberianism as the national ideology. The Tiberian League also suffered from decline during this period, with the Tiberian nations of Aurea, Murim, Goldene, Soleaquil, Vhagaria, Frosmyre and G'Gawab'Gatl forming a new alliance bloc known as the Northern Concord Alliance. In a public statement made by the leaders of the alliance, they stated that they had no desire to “play continental police”, that they did not view themselves as any form of successor to the Tiberian League and that they did not share the same goal of removing colonisers from the continent. 
==Principles ==
=== Anti-colonialism===
One of the primary cornerstones of Pan-Tiberianism is the struggle against colonial powers which originate on other continents. This is noted not only by policies of different Tiberian League nations, but also the overall topics and opinions made public within the continental summits. In his second published works, Khyu Vaslawiya wrote:There has been a lot of disagreements regarding exact classification of colonizers within Tiberia, with different criteria put up to define who is active colonizer and who is not. Though in the fifth Tiberian summit, a proposal was presented to define active colonialists, bounded by terms like "capital outside of Tiberia" or "causing disorder within the continent". Anti-Colonialism is noted as primary driving force behind the Pan-Tiberian movement, as Tiberian nations seek stability and protection against external threats. 
===Continental Infrastructure===
As the largest continent within Abexilas and the largest continuous landmass with Caerus, infrastructure is an important part of continental prosperity, connecting Tiberia's vast and diverse nations. Common infrastructure development has been discussed since the creation of the Tiberian organisations, the most notable of which is the Tiberian Infrastructure Guild. 
At the base of Tiberian infrastructure development stands the Trans-Tiberian Railroad proposal, stretching from Tyahil in the far west to Artilon and far east, though Khyu Vaslawiya Tiberian proposed extending it through Caerus to connect even more nations in an effort towards joint development of the continents. This railroad would be the longest in the known world and would have a significant impact on economic growth throughout the continent, allowing for quick transport of anything across the wide distances of Tiberia. 
===Cultural Uniqueness===
Khyu Vaslawiya Tiberian noted that culture of Tiberia can be uniquely identified with the fact of cooperation and solidarity against external threats despite extreme differences within different nations of Tiberia, be it the Goblins of the Jungle Swamp or several Dwarven peoples like Doravan or Khrumaz, as well as political structures like Vladism in Vladistan and Jonkburg, Monarchy in Vhagaria or Gold Coast, as well as Andocratia and Sodruzhism in Tyahil. Most Tiberian nations put the stability and cooperation of the continent before specific physical differences or disputes within ideological teachings, signifying that a united Tiberian culture exists. The Tiberium would become the forerunner for a unified Tiberian culture, with diverse citizens rallying for a united cause. 
This could also be extended to other northern continents such as Caerus and Tanragh, which, according to Khyu, are also closely culturally connected. This is proven by cultural ties from previous worlds as well as stable cooperation between Tiberian nations and nations in Caerus and Tanragh, examples of which are Bardonia, Sarinzerilin, Irithel, and Castanor. 
==Variants ==
=== Orthodox Pan-Tiberianism===
The most widespread variant of Pan-Tiberianism is its first and initial form. Orthodox Pan-Tiberianism is not inclined to support specific economic systems or political structures; instead, it bases itself on the original ideas put forward by the Tiberian Council for the unification and stability of the continent. It is most popular within the monarchies of Tiberia along with nations without a clear ideological purpose. 
===Vladist Pan-Tiberianism===
A syncretic movement combining teachings of socialism found in Vladism and the anti-imperialist struggle of Tiberia, Vladist Pan-Tiberianism advocates for the liberation of the Tiberian working class against what is seen as “colonialist exploitation” of labor. Nations such as the Vladist Republic of Vladistan, the Democratic Republic of Jonkburg and the People's Republic of Merkonis stand as the workers’ vanguard against the imperialist expansionism of capitalism put forward by foreign powers. 
===Padapiv Pan-Tiberianism===
A more abstract variant of Pan-Tiberianism is its Padapiv variant, named after the Padapiv island in Tyahil, where the first Tiberian summit was held. The Padapiv variant of Pan-Tiberianism stands in as its Tyahilian version, written in detail by Khyu Vaslawiya Tiberian. 
Padapiv Pan-Tiberianism primarily stands by studies done by Khyu, where he advocated that Tiberia isn’t limited geographically or culturally by just the Tiberian continent, but rather advocating for the Greater Tiberian Supercontinent, made up of Caerus, Tiberia and Tanragh. This is backed by geographical cartography, where Caerus and Tanragh are connected by land (Tanragh is connected via a land bridge, unreachable by normal means, “beyond the Edge”), forming the largest landmass in the observable world. Along with geography, Khyu argues for cultural connections and a common struggle against colonialism between peoples of the 3 continents, signifying that Tiberia is not alone in its fight against foreign powers. 
Khyu also advocates for andocratic democracy and sodruzhism within Padapiv Pan-Tiberianism, bringing up the successful implementation of such within the Tyahil Commonwealth. It could be argued that the Tiberium is primarily an example of andocratic government, where there is no single nation leader and instead a large council of equal nation leaders. 
=== Kanān Tiberianism ===
Kanān Tiberianism is a Pan-Tiberian ideology originated by the encounter of Kanān pavavism thinkings and tyahillian andocratic and pantiberian ideologies, lead by the thinking of Ustusipun Kān.
It advocates for the unification of tiberian nations under a federal, democratic and andocratic polity, arguing that only a stable and just tiberian state can stand the forces of the world directed against the great continent and its people.
