regionalism - localism - provincialism - parochialism - factionalism - partisanship - sectarianism - territorialism
Sectionalism is the tendency of different regions or sectors (especially of a country) to prefer their specific interests over those of the country as a whole. This can lead to conflict and division as various regions or sectors may compete or clash in pursuit of their own priorities, often at the expense of national unity or cohesion.
