Unionian

Unionian is a term with multiple senses in English. It may function as a demonym for residents of a place named Union, Unionia, or Unionville, where local residents are described as Unionians. It can also denote a supporter of a political union or unification project, especially in contexts where the union is the central political unit. In fiction and speculative writing, Unionians are often used as the inhabitants of a federated state or interplanetary union.

Etymology: The form is derived from the root word "union" with the adjectival suffix "-ian," following patterns such as Victorian or Canadian. The precise sense depends on historical and regional usage.

Usage: In contemporary English, Unionian is uncommon. The more common term for a political pro-union stance is "Unionist." Unionian appears occasionally in historical documents, or in fictional works, and may be used as a stylistic choice rather than a standard label.

Geography and demography: There is no universally recognized country or region officially named Unionia or Union, so "Unionian" as a geographic demonym tends to be confined to specific locales in works of fiction or historical contexts.

Culture and media: In literature and media, Unionians are sometimes depicted as citizens of a federal or federated realm, with governance reflecting a balance of member states, or as inhabitants of a planetary union in science fiction.
