Belarusslands

Belarusslands is not an officially defined political entity. In encyclopedia-like or academic writing the term is used to denote lands closely associated with the Belarusian people and the Belarusian language, spanning present-day Belarus and, in some usages, neighboring areas where Belarusian communities have been historically present. The term is also employed in fiction and alternate-history narratives to describe a fictional federation or transnational realm.

The name blends Belarussia or Belarus with lands, signaling a geographic or cultural sphere rather than a modern state.

Because there is no single agreed boundary, descriptions of Belarusslands range from the core territory of present-day Belarus to borderlands in Poland, Lithuania, Russia, and Ukraine where Belarusian influence or populations have persisted.

In real-world scholarship, Belarusslands has no official status; references are historical or hypothetical.

Belarusian is typically identified as the central language of Belarusslands, with Russian, Polish, and Lithuanian also present in some communities. Cultural themes often emphasize folk traditions, literature in Belarusian, and modern urban life in Minsk and other cities.
