Centralism is a non-quadrant ideology that advocates for a Unitary State. A unitary state is a state in which political power is held by a single central government, instead of it being spread amongst states, provinces, federations, or the like. Despite wanting centralized power, it is not inherently authoritarian, as one can argue a libertarian central government, or even an authoritarian decentral government. It can be seen as the opposite of Federalism and Confederalism.

Friends
- Jacobinism - The original unitarist.
- Absolute Monarchism - Long live the king!
- Fascism - All within one state, you say?
- Nazism - Don't know much about you, but I love how you turned Germany de facto unitary for once. Also, based hater of Switzerland, and an impressive try to annihilate the Soviet Union. It's a shame that Germany was federal before and after you.
- Francoism - One based Spaniard. Pity your successors reverted your policies on those insolent Basques and Catalonians.
- Maoism & Xi Jinping Thought - Based Chinese ideologies.
- Saddamism — I like how you centralised Iraq. It's a pity that damn neocucks overthrew you.
Frenemies
- Autarchy - Every man a state... What? But at least individual sovereignty ensures unitarity for the individual himself.
- Marxism-Leninism - You might've made the USSR federal, but I'll give you a pass for still making it so centralized. And I'm glad you didn't make any of your satellite states federal too, well except for Czechoslovakia.
- Nordic Model - I love most of your domestic policies, but I don't like how Denmark gives autonomy to Greenland and Faroe Islands, and that 3/5 of you joined the European Union.
- Dengism - Extremely based, but why do you have to keep your so-called "autonomous zones"?
- Patchwork - On one hand, you are sometimes a disgusting supporter of decentralization. On the other, independent city-states are too small to have any autonomy in the first place.
