Capixaba Nationalism

Capixaba Nationalism refers to the nationalism of Capixaba people and Capixaba culture. Capixaba Nationalism is really common among Capixabas that supports the independence of Espirito Santo and the strength of the Capixaba identity and Capixaba culture as well. Good examples of Capixaba Nationalism can be seen on movements such as People’s Republic of Espirito Santo and Republic of Espirito Santo. Some variants of Capixaba Nationalism, such as Capixaba Chauvinism, also supports the ideas of “Capixaba Irredentism”, that’s the re-annexation of the lands that once were part of the Captaincy of Espirito Santo, mainly focusing on the annexation of Vale do Mucuri, Vale do Rio Doce and part of Zona da Mata (Microregions of Manhaçu and Ponte Nova) to Espirito Santo, claiming that those regions are part of Espirito Santo and should be annexed by Espirito Santo since once they were part of the Captaincy of Espirito Santo, despite some more ultra-nationalistic versions of Capixaba Irrendentism advocates the full annexation of Minas Gerais since whole Minas Gerais is supposed to be part of Espirito Santo because of the Captaincy of Espirito Santo.
