Ulusalcılık

Ulusalcılık (roughly translating to nationalism) is a political ideology with strong roots in Jakania. Closely related to the denktashism of neighboring Kalopia, it is seen as a strongly nationalist, strictly secularist ideology. While most ulusalcı parties have been somewhat leftist, especially on economic issues, there has been a historical distinction made between the dominant left-wing ulusalcılık, and its more obscure right-wing strain. Its adherents are referred to as "ulusalcılar" ("nationalists").

Parties
Most ulusalcı parties have been chronological successors of previous incarnations; the original Republican People's Party (CHP) was immediately succeeded by the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) in 4258, which in turn was merged into the Justicialist Party (AP) in 4290. A later group founded in 4340, the Jakanian Revolutionary Party (CDP), was on the other hand not succeeded by a single party. Instead, it split in half between a left-wing and a right-wing faction during its 4364 party congress, each forming their own new party. The left-wingers followed Aziz Veysel Önder into the Beraber 64 coalition, which later morphed into the ??? Party, while the right-wingers joined Recep Şahin into his small National Unity Party (UBP).
