Localism is a political philosophy that focuses on various questions relating to the subnational locale. Localism puts special emphasis on local areas (usually a town, village, municipality, or at large, a city) and believes that they should be governed locally - "By the locals, for locals."

Localism wants to protect the locality and its people, usually by preferring local consumption and production of goods, by promoting local history or promoting local culture, by supporting close community relations, and by strengthening the local government.

Beliefs

Localism believes that a local area should be governed by its local people and serve their interests accordingly. Similarly, it wants to promote the locality and its community in general; wanting to help its economy by producing and consuming local as well as furthering local culture and community.

Localism is usually, at least in some sense, patriotic for the local area, wanting to make people aware of its history and iconography.

Personality and Behavior

Localism loves his town and the surrounding areas, he sometimes gets jokingly upset at other cities or towns and likes to meme on them. He always buys local and hosts town events to connect with the community and share his ideas.
Usually, he hangs out with Regionalism, someone he gets along with really well despite thinking he doesn't focus on the important things and issues enough.

Localism can often be seen to be patriotic for his town and displaying its symbolism.
