Pan-Finnicism, also known as Pan-Fennicism or sometimes even referred to as Finno-Ugrism or even heimoaate is a pan-nationalist idea which advocates for the political or economic unification of the Finno-Ugric peoples. The idea is broad in its meaning and oftentimes it simply refers to the Finno-Ugric peoples, however on rare occasion it can be limited to only the Baltic Finnic peoples or to the Finnic peoples.
