Americanism

Americanism, American Nationalism or the American Identity is an ideological notion that promotes the unity of Americans and hegemony of the American people backed by a culturally distinct nation-state. Americanism also emphasizes and takes pride in the patriotism and national identity of Americans as one nation and one people, despite its multiple claimants. The earliest proven origins of Americanism began with the formation of the United States of Occidentalis and Federation of Columbia, but an argument can be made placing the origin further back with some arguing the Deseret Naval Junta to be the first ever example of the American Identity.
Americanism has historically been split into two branches, promoting the claim of either Columbia or Occidentalis to the title of America. As such, the ideology has taken on two distinct identities, with the two claimants creating their own landmarks, naming schemes, systems of governance and interpretation of America as a whole. The main exception to this trend is Pan-Americanism, a sect of Americanist ideology that promoted the unification of the two americanist nations under one truly united American state.
