The ’Great Vision’, rarely also referred to as Naaipa uren aned (Sarconian: literally “All under the sky”) is a political idea and goal created and often referenced by Davedhrien Kerman, concerning the unification of the Dorvic plains under a single controlling state.

The flag of the Combined Provinces of Doren.

The Great Vision has been ‘achieved’ on two occasions: from 2080-2082 by the Combined Provinces of Doren, and from 2135-2152 by the United Doren Federation. The Red Horde fulfilled similar criteria to those laid out by Davedhrien, but predates the first official publishing of the concept and notably originated as movement from outside Sarconia.

Often presented as a pan-Dorvic idea, the Great Vision’s origins and the influence of Sarconian political actors on both of its successful executions render the idea debatably an expression of Sarconian rather than Dorvic nationalism.

While the term is sometimes used interchangeably with Davedhrienism, this is not accurate - while Davedhrienism encompasses several economic and societal ideas of governance, Davedhrien himself considered his ‘Great Vision’ to only concern the unification of a wider Dorvic state and not the manner of its administration. Nevertheless, the term has a strong public association with economic statism, Sarconia’s single-party regime, and even socialism.

“	Once the wider state is reclaimed: we must cultivate a totality of focus, politically, industrially and culturally. Sarconia will become a singular engine of the Great Vision.	”
—Writings of Davedhrien Kerman, 2112

The aim of realising the Great Vision has defined much of Sarconia’s foreign policy for over a century, continuing well after Dave’s death.
